Seeing the collective conservation efforts of multiple successive governments to eliminate all non-native predators from New Zealand by 2050 is really inspiring.

I’ve run into multiple websites like this in the last 6 months. It sucks.

The drowning pool really sets the ambience

I love this shit. They’re always so wrong but such fun designs. I wish I could find pictures of the old PS3 and Xbox 720 concepts that people were paying back in the day.

The issue was later found to be from sunlight streaming into the spacecraft through a tiny gap.

This would be so frustrating. The problem solving process would be a nightmare.

Anarcho-communism is just the longer name of what came to be called anarchism by most observers. The tenets of anarcho syndicalism are fairly close to Marx’s ‘ideal’ communism in theory but obviously Marx, Bakunin and Kropotkin all had differing views on how to achieve those goals.

Yours and my experiences are remarkably similar.

It seems like it’s an issue with manufacturing consistency/quality. The report said some cars were getting literally half their advertised range on daily commutes. That’s not an amount that could be accounted for by driving styles.

Yep. It’s tough to feel like you’re directionless and lacking purpose. I get it. I felt this way about my job. Personally I found solace in volunteering and doing things that helped people.

When the weather hits 40⁰ around here I might head to the cinema. They’re usually really well temperature controlled, dark and allows you to get out of the sun when it’s at its height. Nights when it doesn’t cool down are harder.

The more realistic death is a buyout, merger and dismantling. That’s how the vast majority of publicly traded companies die. Bought my a larger organisation looking for a deal on your IP, userbase or reputation who then sells off all physical assets, offshores all talent and outsources all capabilities. They retain the brand equity which then gets rinsed through a range of products that are smaller and smaller before quietly being shelved. See GEs dismantling of RCA, the death of GE itself, and every company EA has ever bought.

I’d actually add the new DnD movie to the list.
