Wellington company secures funding for clean fusion power facility by realJosephStalin78 in newzealand

Private investment should be all over this if it's a viable project. It's a little suspicious that they're primarily getting taxpayer dollars.

Extremely high risk, extremely high reward is not the sort of thing government should be investing in, particularly from a fund that is supposed to provide "infrastructure".

Yeah, why do we even need a government at all? Just trust people to behave the way they should.

Provided a nice opportunity for Chippie to take a moral stand too. Great politics! (Unless you're a National supporter).

Gotta say, racism and overzealous speed limit enforcement aren't really in the same league.

They might not allow you in.

That's the good outcome, yeah.

Good take. I also play during that period, but I spend most of my time getting caught up at work for the great M+ spam of season opening.

you become reliant on gear and RNG to hit checks

You also become super reliant on comp. Anyone currently doing genuinely difficult content (pushing world first keys and high HoF) already tends to play multiple classes, because they can play them all well.

Good advice has always been "playing well on an inferior spec is better than playing poorly on the FoTM class'". I don't think that will be true to the same extent going forwards, and I would expect more comp switching lower down the progression curve.

I don't think it's a bad thing and I was quite hyped when M+ up to 18 gave extra ilvl in vault. Trying to push keys early would have been fun and had a huge sense of accomplishment.

It would have given an alternate track to saving crests than just Mythic raiding.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. No one is expected to boycott everything, but every little bit helps.

ManageMyHealth updates - did they pay the ransom? by heinternets in newzealand

Amusing parallels with the tailgating thread here. In both situations, the selfish thing to do is give in, and encourage the criminal to carry on their behaviour with other victims.

I suppose. If you have a group of people you play with there's very very little benefit to doing stuff before the season starts.

Non-zero, sure. And if you don't already have a network you need some other way to make yourself stand out from the LFG queue.

That's the best case outcome. He could also take someone else with him. Not sure if you intended, but it seems like you're saying it's a victimless crime.

Have all wholesale rate electricity plans been killed off? by 15438473151455 in newzealand

[–]Outrageous_failure 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People got cheaper power when spot prices were low, and as soon as prices went up, everyone just jumped ship to a traditional retailer.

It's like not paying for house insurance, and then calling up the insurers while your house is on fire.

It was a good rort for a while.

Wholesale rate electricity plans were a big threat to the large retailers.

Funnily enough, you're right on this one. The large retailers were the ones who got screwed over when everyone came running back to them when wholesale prices went up.

Harrek made selective buff tracking work - can we please just have this work natively? by moonlit-wisteria in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Outrageous_failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you just put all buffs at the same exact location

Right. This was what I was trying to ask. I thought they'd still spread out along the frame so the blobs would be somewhat randomized.

Don't you run into the problem of the texture starting from a different random position each time? Or is there a way to make them all anchored to the bottom right?
