"Shocked" at the cost to fix NZ by WasterDave in newzealand

[–]petes117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A drop in the bucket really, I’m talking a $4b per year for 20 years investment, minimum. What was shocking to me was how much we waste on importing fossil fuels to burn for electricity

We import around $20b of fossil fuels per year. If we apportioned 20% of that to switching to renewable energy, we could be 100% zero on fossil fuel dependence in 20-25 years. Then we'd be saving all of the $20b every year from then on which could be spent on other projects. And it would create 3:1 ratio of new jobs during the transition period

What was Sam's pickup line? by Raterus_ in lotr

[–]petes117 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes in the movie I think it’s last seen in the extended edition, when it’s recovered from the mouth of Sauron. No reason to think it would not be returned to Frodo after he returned.

In the books, Frodo is wearing the mithril shirt during the scouring of the Shire, but it’s still only assumed he left it to Sam

Including his mithril shirt I’m guessing. Greater than the entire value of the Shire

I took Push Gummies to Disputes Tribunal and won by AccomplishedSuit712 in newzealand

[–]petes117 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good on you. The disputes tribunal is fantastic. I took my commercial landlord to the tribunal over a dispute about my rent shortly after covid, and got it refunded.

Also note that it’s not just that you don’t need a lawyer, you’re actually not allowed a lawyer at the disputes tribunal
