My wife is dieing in front of my eyes. She has smoked for almost 50 years now and just cannot give up. She doesn't try any more and won't even let her doctor discuss it. She refuses any tests to see what damage it has caused, she knows it has but thinks knowing the details will just cause more stre...

So, you still would?

With care - wouldn't wanna break something.

Essential Energy (the former Country Energy is). Two others (Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy) have some complicated, very long-term lease arrangement to private enterprise and Transgrid was, AFAIK, just plain sold.

It is. I guess it shows that politics is often like supporting a football team and people can't change. Goerge Bush courted the Christian evangelical crowd, and Trump inherited them. I often see the extreme ends of political sides have many contradictory groups in them. +1 I'd agree but extend the ...

So the Wallabies pick up the Rebels forwards coach as their line out specialist. Hmm……. Geoff Parling was also involved with Wallabies in the past. Rebels lineout hasn't been great for a long time but they maybe down to Uelese :o but still interesting that they gave the role to someone whose team h...

For us the money is a bonus. I just like being able to use electricity during the day for free (I know it's not free...). Not free, but no usage charges means just what it sounds like!

Actually, I'm not. The narrative that we see on social media and in mainstream media does suggest that, and Rachel Riley was caught up in that.

Even allowing for that, tho', every day more rooftop arrays are appearing even in the absence of premium government-backed FiTs or direct cash rebates and the like. For us the money is a bonus.

Agree MM, I cant see the rooftop solar solution as one that is terribly efficient. We're still at the mercy of retailers which sucks arse. Feels like it's 3 steps forward and 2 back. In saying that, for about 6 months of the year our bill is $0. Retailers are a bunch of pricks, without doubt; and, ...

Highlanders to win this one easily. The Kiss Experiment has ended. Can we find another weird evangelical ex-All Black/NRL player to coach the Reds?

Any chance of picking up a Satanist coach? Is there a related Faecebook page?

So the US would loan Ukraine to buy obsolete/expired equipment and ammunition that’s in US inventory instead of the US throwing it out? That’s a good deal, right? Yes, and the money the Ukrainians "pay" would go towards restocking. It's effectively a subsidy for American weapons manufacturers Is th...

No Uru, McReight, McDermott and Flook. And no HMP on the bench. Not good at all.

Still, it's the type of shite one can expect by round nine.

Stupid decision. I am an avowed non-smoker, but such a ban would have the opposite effect with an unregulated Black Market. There is also the precedent of the state deciding that if something is not good for you, they can ban it. Which leads to the question, what would be next? Fancy a beer, anyone...

Among the anecdotal stuff in the history of Iran-Israel relationships, the Shah's secret services asked help from Israel Mossad to kill Khomeini when he was exiled in France.

Joey Manu (a better player IMO than Suaalii) is off to play in Japan next year. That’s just the cherry on top for NZR. No need to spend treasure and resources on developing league talent - overseas clubs can do that. If it works out, they get an All Black. No risk and big upside. Another athlete fr...

The other one with rooftop solar is that the efficiencies just dont work. You dont get the ideal tilt angle, you are typically building it where people live, not where the best solar resource is, and the O&M component is not the same meaning soiling losses are higher. As such, LCOE is significantly...

The only thing to worry about is if your thumb is bigger than the fireball or not.

Did they teach you that at How to survive the coming extinction event classes when you were in primary school?

Kearns played a character when he was commentating. He was unashamedly biased - but that's not necessarily a bad thing in the colour commeentator.

No to Wright. Can't trust him. Put Kellaway there. I used to say the same about Latho, but he came good at around the same age as Wright is. I’m been a long-time critic of Wright but he’s changed this year. He’s on nootropics or something, but he’s possibly been the best, most consistent player in ...
