@VolodyaTretyak My main problem is with the start of that sentence...
"Truly" and "think" don't belong in any self referencing sentence that she writes.
New data from @MBIEgovtnz shows renewables made up a record 95.5% of New Zealand's electricity generation in the six months to March 2026.
Solar generation was up 60% year-on-year.
@MattGeorgeMoore@DrNeilStone@ggreenwald Irans own government says about 3000 for this most recent round, but they always low-ball the number of protesters they shoot.
We have an overwhelming demand for flights right now. If you have airline miles, we need them. We are closing the flights program to military volunteers only and no first time applicants. This is the situation:
1. Due to rising fuel prices and because it's summer, it takes more miles to book a ticket now. Some donors no longer have enough.
2. We have had many applicants with serious family emergencies such as the sudden death of a spouse or child. They need to go home immediately even if the ticket is not the most budget friendly.
3. As you have seen in the news, it is now not uncommon for defenders to spend 2 or 3 months on position. Sometimes it's 5 or 6 months. Humans are not meant to do this. Once they get out many of them want to go home and in fact need to.
You can help by donating airline miles and hotel points if you have them. If you don't, please tell people that this program exists and how they can help.
You can also donate to the Flight Fund at https://t.co/7h98jcR2sd. This covers taxes and fees and sometimes buys cash tickets.
@ClintVSmith If they are high income earners that are at risk of leaving the job market, logically keeping the retirement age at 65 would be the thing to do?
If they have skills that are needed and would be lost, they could make more than the paltry $28,000 a couple would get on super.
@nafoviking They leave behind so many weird names...
Like Greenland for an Island covered in ice...
Iceland for a land covered in grass...
And Sutherland is the name of the north western tip of Britain...
@BenThomasNZ He's been popping up in my feed for the last few weeks, I get that he's well known, but have yet to see why he's of interest beyond that. US media may have him dialed as a matter of habit, and fair, he's been a headliner for ages and it's a habit for them. But why us?
@libertyscott It's simplistic, places like Kosovo, and indeed Albania have had a de-population for work reasons. So you can't take what this guy purportedly say too seriously.
Also personally, while I was prepared to take on EPoA for mum, that's not something I would have done for Dad.
@EastEndJoe If it's loud enough... "What the fuck was that!!!!"... From the other side of the valley...
It's not just the loudness though, it's the resonance.
