He/him. Occasionally amusing. Mainly food bikes and dogs Kirikiriroa (Hamilton NZ) Pinned Skeet - I know we can't buy our way out of the climate crisis, but the joy I feel every time I ride my cargo bike makes me feel like it should be a thing.

The key is to launch just after they say go, and then stay ahead of everyone else.

Are you asking because you think it might happen? Unless the deign brief process explicitly signs over copyright/ip right then it would theoretically be able to be defended but practically itโ€™d be applicant vs company.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.  August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjรถkull to Ok (jรถkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Last time I was in Queenstown they put $200 hold on my credit card even though the room was already paid. It's annoying but not personal.

when I moved back to NZ - my Dad took me on a tour of his veg garden - as I commented on his rhubarb he cut a stalk off then cut a piece and ate it raw dead panning the whole time about his new variety he was growing and how sweet it was before handing me a piece to eat...

Reader: it was not sweet
