Pretty cool. It is, of course, an emulation box (whatever the marketing says, FPGA is a form of emulation) but a very pretty one with all the mod cons you could want.

Look Zack the only sane option is to let the richest get richer at the cost of absolutely everything and everyone else including the future habitability of the planet. It's just common sense mate. Nobody's buying your extremist "let's not keep doing that" rhetoric

I don't often agree with Trotter these days but that's a good way to put it.

YES perfection

$2000 is a shockingly low fine for such cruelty. That's barely a disincentive at all.

Teaching EIGHT YEAR OLDS about the Peloponnesian War (a topic I enjoyed.. in high school classics at 16) while Aotearoa's history gets left in the dust. Mindboggling.

Demonic egg beaters? What does that even mean?

Absolute balla move

Buuut we just have to keep making the rich richer at everyone else's expense while wrecking the biosphere because *the economy*, you naive Greenies will just never understand

Most autistic people have empathy 🙃 the problem isn't neurospicy people, it's that our economic structures actively reward sociopathic behaviour. And thus many of our wealthiest and most powerful people are sociopaths.

In fairness electorate votes are FPP (unfortunately) so vote splitting is a thing, but agree it's a shit argument. Electorates belong to their voters, not to any party, and no party owes another a seat.

Just noting that the quoted section on $/vote appears to be AI generated, so I wouldn't have too much confidence in those figures. The ranking is probably about right, though.

Thank you for trying 🙏

Mindbogglingly amoral and foolish. If Little thought throwing Chung a bone would improve his behaviour he obvs hasn't listened to *anyone else* who has worked with the dude, and ofc Chung immediately bites the hand that feeds because he's learned he can get away with it.

The so-called centre-left thinking they can pull support from the actual far right by pretending to be far right 🤡 So embarrassing.

Thanks from Aotearoa for holding the line Zack, you're doing awesome work 🌿✊️

Embarrassed to admit I quoted the IMF figure to a couple of friends saying "..and that's without even factoring in externalities!" because I assumed that subsidies meant, y'know, subsidies 🙃

What's the right number to use in your view if we're just talking subsidies (producer, price, taxes etc)?

It's gonna be so cringe watching so many milquetoast politicians try to Mamdani-cargo-cult their way to victory while completely misunderstanding everything that made his campaign successful
