Biscuits & sausage gravy? For real?

Oh sure there is. I've been not buying rural property in NZ for decades.

Happy to help out distributing fliers with instructions for using Tor to access Scihub.

I wonder if companies should become more expensive the more of them you own. There should be some way of discouraging all the tax fuckery people get up to by having tens of special purpose companies set up.

She needs a drummer but otherwise pretty cool.

What I'm not seeing in your writing or elsewhere is discussion of the critical deficit of long-term inpatient psychiatric care. Living in Wellington and walking everywhere I frequently encounter people who, even if given homes, still could not take care of themselves.

Kordia's NGCC failure was so hard that Tait went and bought Vital because it was easier than continuing to deal with the rolling clusterfuck of a relationship that was left once Kordia departed the JV. Vital is two thirds baggage so you know it was catastrophically bad with Kordia.

The few bits of Kordia left that have anything to do with transmission are no different to the towers Chorus & JDA have. Their natural home is with a towerco like 42 South or Connexia, or an Infraco like Tū Ātea. Emergency Services departed from Kordia when they failed at then withdrew from NGCC.

Kordia's an example of an SOE that has no right to exist in its present form. Why should the state own a conglomerate with infosec and telco services given our highly competitive markets for both? Genuinely interested in an answer from anyone who thinks it shouldn't be divested.

Disappointing they left murdering half a million people to the last paragraph. Seems like something that should be right up at the top.

No question about it, this guy deserves a knighthood far more than most any in this country who've received the honour.

Could you suspend it from a tripod? Hang it from a sling attached to a digger? Then just stabilise from the ladder?

I've used a rock drill, once. Not a fun day. A few of us had 5-10 min stints using it in rotation, then pick, shovel, and crowbar to clear the debris.

That looks like just the way to get thrown off a ladder to me.
