Electrical engineer working to electrify transport, and hopefully improve everyone’s life just a little bit. He/him.

@pocketspore421 @MorganGodfery 4 minutes and 43 seconds into the Friday TV One news broadcast, in Mei’s report. Where you’d expect it.

@pocketspore421 @MorganGodfery Morgan is showing the interaction that was characterised by Mei as angry.

@TLAlexander So tiny! And wow, if you have to heat sink them, that’s an experience.

@ryancrawcour @publicaddress Rushing in sounds like a good way to get super acquainted with an angle grinder. You first!

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@publicaddress I’m really enjoying that, 10 seconds after the rain starts, the gutters are already a river. Just super.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@Bethesda_ANZ Lol, what’s up with your total inability to spell Raz’s name properly? I’m sensing some jealousy.

@Tolsen711 @RichardHills_ @Peter_W “The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”

@ruthf_ @RichardHills_ I was taking a walk yesterday afternoon and saw an elderly lady starting to go for a dip. A lifeguard legged it over and must’ve warned her as she got right out. Yuck!

I can’t believe how badly the Auckland and New Zealand governments dropped the ball on this event. Even the basic stuff was just missed entirely.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@Enkay_68 @publicaddress He means disaster readiness.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@DanielBogdanoff Accurate. Definitely suspicious.

@JTayScience @toddniall $570 p.a. per kid seems like a bargain, if it allows a parent to return to work. Not many centres actually allow parents the 20 hours free care as they can add charges for extras, which add up to a lot. If they can’t work, then what? A benefit will cost a lot more.

@KiwiFarah @jessLeaveAFlowr Double points if you can combine it with moist.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@NewsroomNZ @KiwiFarah This is a really good thing. They were good initially, but the free chargers have hugely distorted the market, and have served their purpose.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@publicaddress Would need other data, but I suspect giant vehicles and poor healthcare are significant contributors. Good work all around.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@notsailingalone @KiwiFarah Must be super dusty in here all of a sudden…

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@Publicwrongs @bernardchickey This. I subscribe to several substack newsletters (including Bernard’s, which is extremely good value!) and a few on Patreon, and it adds up to quite a bit each month. Much more than my North and South sub. The micro transactions are fairly macro in scale.

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@threadnz I have this, it’s a fun build! What version are you going with; 1, 2, or 3?

[Michael 😷💉 @mkissin]

@Publicwrongs California has something like that. I had to cancel a WSJ subscription and it was a total horror show, but in Cali you can just do it on the website.

@CityAklccrg @arnie03 @RichardHills_ @HaydenDonnell Yep. I didn’t know Santa was there initially so it was a nice surprise to see the head at the entrance. I pretty quickly went from “ha, nice” to “oh no!”
