My boys love this game.

Loads of replay value.

Awesome to also have it to teach others how to play. If she has that teaching spirit, this game is great.

I bet he didn’t see that coming.

Why does the dude behind Kim look like a kid in an adults hat?

It is the west island of the mythical land of New Zealand

Another one bites the dust, also works.

Kinda.

Class A Team

Awesome, thanks pier that.

I’ll have a good read through those.

Agreed, but it behooves me to have the information when/if asked.

Cheers.

I’ll worry about how to package the info; so that a politician can digest it. But if it is not technically possible; I want to be able to reference some studies that back me up.

Or $30 product, and “sorry we don’t ship to your location”

Or the fairly regular $30 product with $75 shipping.

Something something magical shell history

Well it is a hypothesis that needs testing…

You are asking two how to questions “combat climate change” and “reduce emissions”

To realistically combat climate change:

• Admit that we need to try geoengineering (we are already doing this with all the CO₂ and CH₄ going into the atmosphere)
• Weather it is SO₂ injection or cloud seeding to artificially increase the albido; we need to reduce incident solar radiation to give us a few more decades to actually reduce emissions

To reduce emissions:

• Tackle the biggest emissions first.
• Electrification of the passenger fleet; that means batteries. Keep fuel cells for heavy transport (maybe)
• Encourage electric biking. And other micro-mobility. Along with better public transport.
• Normalise a historical style diet, meat is a treat only once or twice a week.
• Reduce concrete construction; keep it for the important things like the foundations.
• Reduce the practice of packaging everything in plastic; again keep it for the important things only like electrical insulation.
• Massive ramp up of solar and wind around the world.
• Where we use fossil fuels, ask is this important enough to use FF here?

Carbon taxes:

• Tax CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent) at a reasonable rate to encourage all of the reduction measures.
• At less than $65NZD/T the cost is too low to encourage significant movement on the issues.
• Have a ratcheting scheme in the CO₂ market, i.e. add $5-8/yr/T for CO₂e; in 10 years the price will be between $110-140/T. At the 10yr mark, make the ratchet $10-15/yr/T.
• Add a carbon tariff; basically make it more expensive to buy from countries that are not pulling their weight.
• Be careful not to double tax, this is important for buy in from the public. i.e. the carbon tax on fuel should be exempt from sales tax, taxing a tax is a great way to alienate people.

Little pills

The comparison is looking very favorable to Australia currently.

If you use the thousands of kiwis, moving there permanently, every month as a yardstick.

Ah yes; the tactical wees discussion.

“Yes, I know you don’t need to go right now; but we are going to be in the car for 30 - 40 minutes; go to the toilet now please!”

Some of us like it when we are not mentioned…maps without NZ (sorry for the Reddit link)

You are not; but they are not really assholes. They are optimising for some outcome that they want, with inferior tools/mechanisms. Depending on age, their brain runs on emotion most of the time, logic is a distant second place.

In saying all of that…they can seem like assholes in the moment!!!

Market research?
