I know this community is probably dead but what the hell.

Rum spirit run. Why am I using a reflux column for rum, shouldn't it be pot stilled?

Yes, yes it should be. However I'm using the reflux condenser to just introduce a small amount of reflux to help compress the heads / tails, nowhere near the same amount of reflux as if I was trying to make neutral spirit.

Anyway it works, the spirit coming off is much "prettier" and less offensive than it would have been running in pot mode, while still retaining flavours from the molasses

Te Pāti Māori wants to establish its own parliament (www.stuff.co.nz)

Im quite surprised by this, isn't Parliament a crown/british concept? And Te Pati Maori are usually quite opposed to Crown concepts.

Regardless, I think as much hate as ACT gets for this - it seems obvious that clarity on the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi is required so that every New Zealander knows where they stand (legally speaking) and we can move on as a country.

The different interpretations from different groups are distracting from the real issues because the solution gets muddied.

Should we establish group-specific organisations that all do the same thing, just for different segments of society - or should we pour our energy and resources into making organisations work for all New Zealanders?

This used to bother me way more than it does now.

The Knaming scheme was so Koff putting that I refused to use KDE for years based purely on how much it annoyed me.

But it's been 15 years now and GNOME has turned into Fisher Price. KDE things always seemed to work better, like Phonon works 1000 times better than GStreamer and apps like Krita and Kdenlive are far more useful than GNOME equivalents.

Thinking about giving KDE a spin with the new Plasma 6 release

"send to landfill".

No. Just because it can't run newer Windows versions doesn't automatically mean it gets catapulted to the landfill

JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon delivers a stern warning to remote workers by lightnegative in c/[email protected]

"Old guy still doesn't understand how anyone could be working if he can't physically see them working"

Fully remote is the way of the future, in tech anyway. Use the money you saved on not renting office space to fly teams to the same area for a week or so a few times a year, there's definite value in meeting, working together in person and going out for a beer afterwards. For short stints.

Otherwise, the lack of commute and the ability to focus uninterrupted for longer periods is massive advantage for remote work
