Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.

The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.

Also as others pointed out, we don't work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more....so the natural protection isn't building up like it did in the past.

As usual, the feelings of politicians trump evidence.

NAFf feel that tax cuts are more important than the kids, so we get tax cuts.

Don't be.

I who don't care for sport at all, am now aware more about breaking then I would be; I saw some other matches 100% because of her actions. I would not have bothered otherwise.

She brings more interest to the sport; I only saw three events, the rock climbing (I climb); some of the kayak (kayak cross is awesome) and some of the breaking.

So there you have it; of the very small amount of the Olympics I watched, breaking was part of it.

So you breed these cats as food? Do you take the fur off first?

Pretty sure DT is far more like brain than pinky.

Brain has a lot of plans, but no matter what he does it turns to shit in the end. Pinky is the real brains in the duo.

Exactly right.

There is no way to get rid of the shadow profile.

Listen. And understand. Time is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

As the title says.

If you don't know the discworld books by Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax it the most formidable character. She is a witch, but doesn't generally use magic to solve problems; preferring to use persuasion and manipulation. In saying that her magic is extremely powerful.

Maybe a bard with huge wisdom, persuasion and intimidation.

 

Just wow!

What a psycho.

Air New Zealand has abandoned a 2030 goal to cut its carbon emissions, blaming difficulties securing more efficient planes and sustainable jet fuel.

The move makes it the first major carrier to back away from such a climate target.

The airline added it is working on a new short-term target and it remains committed to an industry-wide goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

The aviation industry is estimated to produce around 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions, which airlines have been trying to reduce with measures including replacing older aircraft and using fuel from renewable sources.

 

Just changed my theme to Vaporware dark, it is really funky.

I really like the monospaced font and retro-futuristic look.

 

I'd hate to see the school trips decline.

Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

HTP's may help stop smoking, or just as likely (in my opinion) increase the rate of people starting.

Seems like a win for the tobacco industry either way.

 

Dawn aerospace looking good
