I’m sorry, but WTF is

We did not want to contact FlyCASS first as it appeared to be operated only by one person and we did not want to alarm them.

They are the company, running the thing. You are going to alarm them a whole lot more by going to the damn DHS. Like, I think DHS and TSA probably do need to know about this, but why not start with the actual intimately responsible party?

From what I can see, it looks like you have a SATA connector, though the power for it may need a special breakout, and an mSATA connector, both in the second photo

I mean, if I were adding this instruction it would read “this candidate doesn’t want to work for a company that uses AI to screen CVs”

I believe a portion of it is quite a low forecast for wind generation coinciding pretty closely with the morning peak.

The peak-trough consumption difference seems to be about 2GW, and wind generation averages about 400MW but can hit 900MW

If you wanna poke around with some historical data yourself, I scrape a lot of it for my own curiosity, and have opened up my dashboard

But yeah, this dissuasion was a feature if the previous law change IMO, and this is an incredibly blatant response. I can’t imagine they’ll be taking proper bonds for reinstatement after, either

Agreed. I’m honestly at the point where I just assume rates will be up 15ish% each year, and I kinda feel like they just need to say that’s what the plan is for the next umpty-um years

I would caution that there’s a fair gap between “don’t need expansion joints” and “don’t have heat restrictions”. A few days a year of heat restrictions could be considered a reasonable engineering trade-off, if it manages costs

While concerning, I think the “amid global decline” is the real headline here (and I’m glad they added it). My reading of this is that NZ almost exactly mirrored the average change across the OECD

The current law requires no false claims be made. NZF want to repeal that, and allow dubious claims

Disagree.

They can’t do it through software, but a wireless charger is inducing a current in a coil. NFC chips often use a coil antennal, and inducing a current in that could well trip a protective device, like a resettable fuse. It could be limited to these devices because of a particular resonance or harmonic they share

Surely that’s damage-per-axle? So it’d be two 1.5-ton cars to match the trucks 4 axles

Blow that dog whistle a bit harder, Winnie!

I disagree that Te Pāti Māori want to “divide the country” and I’d certainly say they’re less divisive than Act or NZ First.

Te Pāti Māori want to increase the provision of targeted services and transition services for māori to be provided by māori, which makes a certain kind of sense, as far as instilling trust and providing services in a culturally appropriate way.

Historically, māori have been put at a disadvantage by colonial systems, and so the equitable thing to do is to provide targeted support and this is a role only government can really fill.

Nats seem fairly committed to ending the RUC exemption as well.

I think given the popularity of PHEVs, they really need to reconsider the whole scheme, but I also doubt that much thought will be put into it

Terror and chaos, I’d be inclined to say. Seymour’s policy doesn’t seem particularly consistent with itself, or National’s
