@Zeleksaira Pity we sold the central bus station to build britomart so now we have to traipse 1/2km through wet and windy CBD streets to get to a connecting service.

@TheCinesthetic The mind blowing but beautiful ending to ‘The Quiet Earth’ 1985..

@StephenClarkeNZ @Auckland_Libs Auckland had a central bus interchange. It doesn’t any more. Buses are scattered around the CBD streets.

@JeneeTibshraeny Given its appalling employee safety record including 3 deaths and the recent successful proceedings against the former CEO for one of those deaths you’d think that Ports of Auckland would be at risk of debanking. But I suspect that’s not what this is really about.

@urbanistfromwhk @chamfy I assume it was you who explained to me the difference between the 11T and 11W. That was very helpful- thank you!

[Simon Papa @SimonPapa]

@urbanistfromwhk @chamfy That’s me with a very frustrated 4 year old waiting 25 minutes for our bus. None of the scheduled buses were remotely on time today. I agree it’s a better system but the execution is falling short at the moment. And it’s not going to be fun on a wet, windy day in winter.

Even the most DieHard Monty Python fan has rarely seen or even heard of @EricIdle Rutland Weekend Television, which lasted two series in 1975.

It introduced The Ruttles and we REALLY hope it comes out on DVD. There are moments of sheer brilliance!

Behavioral biases. Distribution is pretty normal, but 95 always rounds to 100.

The Peter Principle is the satirical theory that employees are generally promoted to their level of incompetence.

#OnThisDay 1974: Its author, Dr Laurence J. Peter, explained how he first got the idea and what can be done about it.

✅ True. More than a century ago, a New Zealand newspaper published a brief story about how burning coal might produce future warming by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. https://t.co/ZDDILIDhVn
