New year, who dis? @FlyAirNZ not just on time, but early! Maybe new year, new you???

[chris021 @chris021]

@ripnpepperonis Elaborate?

[chris021 @chris021]

Why would you use a delayed Friday afternoon flight for a tv film crew? @FlyAirNZ

[chris021 @chris021]

Sooo @SparkNZ have announced they are starting satellite to mobile… do we know which satellite network? Is it just me or has this missed the news?

[chris021 @chris021]

@Rockynz_1 @aniobrien @WillowPrime Ah yes… We called her “Willow-Jean, never seen” in Northland

[chris021 @chris021]

@NZcivildefence Whoever made the call this was vital information at 6:30am got it very wrong. My family lives on the coast. We had an evacuation plan and go bag ready. When the alert went off we immediately thought it’s go time. To find out it’s ‘don’t go swimming’ is absolutely ridiculous

@ReaLKarl_Marx @jk_rowling I say this as a middle aged guy so my views here are well mine.. I think you’ve missed a few branches climbing that logic tree.. @jk_rowling (without putting words in her mouth) has been a fierce advocate for protecting the identity of woman (Biological) Not traditional roles.

@ripnpepperonis Are you doing ok?

[chris021 @chris021]

@stevebiddle You’re live.

... that way individuals with travel routers and tinkering can still get that speedify experience on all devices but power users who are chomping the data pay for it... my personal use case is I wan to occasionally peer a lte modem in my ute/pickup with external antenna...

[chris021 @chris021]

@alexgizis Hi 👋. Just starting to experiment with Speedify. Very cool. Hit the roadblock that you need a different licence for OpenWRT. understand why, speedservers cost you $$$. Would be awesome to include capped router use on individual plans say 25GB? ...

Hey @Qantas. My family had a really great flight a week or so back as the service was outstanding. I completed the survey I got via email but it specifically says I can’t include names. How can I pass on positive feedback about a staff member?

[chris021 @chris021]

@avatarofkhaine @haveibeenpwned As a society we are not yet at a level of maturity to consider that, despite it being a valid hypothesis potentially, albeit uncomfortably worth exploring. 🤷‍♂️

With NIWA consuming MetService, will we finally see real open weather observation data like other countries? @WeatherWatchNZ

So as a Kiwi wandering around Nevada, California and Arizona it was very interesting to hear the views of people in hospitality. Seems to be a strong swing to Trump on the promise of ending tip tax. This one thing has people talking who wouldn't bother to vote.

Unpopular opinion: I quite like LAX now you can get between all the terminals air side. It’s pretty good to transit thru departing the USA. 🤷‍♂️

boosting for reach/visibility: "Congratulations to #Microsoft for the bold technology leader decision to launch a privacy VPN product in 2024 with no #IPv6 support. 😑

I'm not surprised, just disappointed."

@mushion22 What’s it like?

[chris021 @chris021]

Honestly corporate cabs are underrated…. The minor cost uplift vs Uber for such a better service.

Whenever I see someone with a prosthetic leg I wonder how much trouble it causes them and if their stump is in good condition and well cared for… Thanks @jk_rowling for making Cormoran so real he occupies a tiny part of my subconscious! Can’t wait for the next book :)
