Flood protection infrastructure isn’t infrastructure in the same way that dental care isn’t health care obviously

That’s one way to look at it I guess 😂

I learned today that the National Infrastructure Commission is currently accepting feedback on their draft plan. The questionnaire includes a section on electricity

🚨 🇳🇿 just letting you all know that it has come to my attention that the latest Australian tourism ad is CLAIMING THE PAVLOVA AS THEIRS 🚨 🇳🇿

I’m struggling to understand what’s not appropriate about the National Library thing. People’s wairua exists in spaces they have been, people who loved them need a place to mourn that is meaningful to them. This is the stuff of life, & the National Library is a repository of lives - I know it well.

I mean I’ll walk the uphills, which turns out is a lot

Also that was my first and only half marathon to date and I’ve not done a longer run yet. In case you wanted to take that back

Vaguely. My training is vibes based

Look, the half marathon goes over a shit hill without shade around noon, so I figured if I signed up for longer bit starting the an hour earlier, I won’t be through that section in the heat

kermit the frog is looking at a green object ALT: kermit the frog is looking at a green object

TFW it turns out the first ultramarathon you’ve signed up for turns out to be this years nz 50km championships

That’s not a science question so much as a vehicle manufacturer and modification question tbh

I don’t think there’s anywhere in Nelson less than $50

I eat raspberries until I feel unwell and then I keep going. And then I do it again days later.

Any evobio ECRs want to review a paper? I don’t have time but would like to suggest someone else

This one is ecology/evolution/genomics focused 🧬 🧪

Nobody mention my climbing shoes then pls

Oh, boy! And ain’t that number gonna grow even bigger now Brooke Van Android is borking the safety rules!! #nzpol 🤕

Bishop canned 1500 new home builds.

Potaka threw people out of emergency housing onto the street.

Chhour slashed funding to community services.

All of us are struggling, services are slashed to bare bones, families already overcrowded.

What did these out-of-touch Ministers think would happen?!

Anyone got an electron microscope I can borrow?

Seeing his what?

Someone is living her best life

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Kamchatka tsunami still bouncing around the Pacific 4 days later!

Yeah, along with a small amount of very loud cookers who just want to rewrite everything that happened

It took me a good while to even come to terms with how much it messed me up tbh

It’s also really funny that it apparently took McKinzey this long to realize that LLMs can probably replace their core product of “22 year olds who don’t know things”

I hope your friend is doing ok and getting the support he needs! Being there was such a wild time. I can’t imagine what it was like in medicine

The Canadian birds heard about their Australian fire starting relatives and wanted to give it a go

In this house at least

Yes, dogs without a collar are definitely naked
