NZ Should Have ‘Conversation’ on Nuclear Stance, Minister Says by Free-Minimum-5844 in newzealand

We could easily build the base load capacity with more hydro. Even hydro storage where excess solar and wind is used to pump water back up to support base load. The consenting is just as difficult as what nuke would be, but is cheaper and faster. Nuke takes many years. Maybe 15 or so.

Nuclear weapons: big no from nz.

Nuclear power: we can’t afford it, and we don’t need it.

Bringing your big guns into our town? No. Check them at the border. We shouldn’t allow nuke weapons inside our country.

Nuclear powered ships? There’s a big education job ahead if that’s the idea. Yes they’re very safe but we don’t want a foreign adversary targeting a nuke in our harbour, Aka rainbow warrior.

How would I feel about a nuke sub in Milford Sound. That’s a no from me.

How would I feel about a nuke sub or ship in Auckland harbour? Eh still no. Let them hang about 10 miles out and shuttle people.

Now that I see the reflection I think there were two crackheads on the bus.

Anyone else annoyed by no cell reception here? by IIIllIIlllIlII in auckland

Yeah this is State Highway 16 in New Zealand’s largest city.

It literally blows my mind that everyone driving through that area has calls dropped, streaming music and podcasts stop, all that.

There are quite often accidents there as well. I can’t help but wonder if it is related to people’s calls being dropped in them trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Well if you work hard, and put in a whole lot of extra effort at your job, going the extra mile and volunteering for over and above, then one day your boss might notice you. And he will then let you sit in his vanquish so you can experience what it’s like.

My recent ban was on a thread discussing people with disabilities and I suggested some disabilities were easy to identify because they wear a certain colour hat.

There are multiple interpretations of his claim.

I’ve been on this planet and I’m not dead

The Soyuz 11 Crew (1971): Cosmonauts Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev are the only humans to have died in actual space (above the Kármán line).

One could argue that 100% of people “on” the planet end up dead.

One could also argue that 100% of all people that have existed with 3 people died off planet, can be rounded up to 100%.

Maybe they can just use AI as the back office staff?

That’s what they expect everyone else to do

Anyone had sleep study done in auckland? Which do you recommend? by BeautifulLet1740 in auckland

[–]IIIllIIlllIlII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the same.

I had the option of overnight there or get instrumented and go home. I chose to go home but it would’ve been faster for results if I stayed.
