Thanks, the Politico article is a good read. All the same I remain wary of untested extrapolations. This may change. Thanks for bringing this topic to my attention.
" we can sensibly suggest that the nutritional content of plants has dropped by about 30% since the beginning of the industrial revolution (ie, since 1840 or thereabouts)." How do you justify the 30% figure. "Sensibly suggest" doesn't amount to an ...
I've read 7 or 8 Le Guin titles, I certainly rate her in top tier of SF and Fantasy writers, along with Lord Dunsany. Both have utterly inimitable styles.
– media commentators on side: not after a cleanout-using the Nats own tactics to control the media For the health of this democracy an overhaul of the NZ's broken public service broadcasting must be of highest priority
I haven’t seen any signs of life in National’s oratory and attacks for a long time. Just minor taunting. Even when they did [fiscal holes] it backfired and made them into numpties.
Winston is giving the public what is now a rare thing, an honest take on the economy. Contrast that with Bill English, who, in an otherwise reasonable concession media interview, continued with his "we leave the economy is a great shape and we are to thank...
I thought Myra Hindley was dead, not working for CNN.
RT’s coverage at the time was certainly not ‘accurate & unbiased’ as you claimed. Sure, but western media coverage of the MH17 incident was easily as biased as RT's coverage at the time. I suggest that much RT's bias was a deliberate counter, made in ...
I'm guessing you don't know how to spell adjutant.

. For the life of me I cannot understand why intelligent people take any notice of Twitter at all. It's a forum for intellectually crippled discourse. Worse, the practise of filing "news" stories padded out with Twitter comments, often anonymous, is the ...
Foreign Investment = the entrance fee Multinationals pay to secure the right to extract wealth from a country too myopic to care
Yeah, to go forth and f*ck themselves, no friends to do it with.
It's not the repetition, outside the USA use of the word "gotten" was generally considered obsolete in modern English. However, it is occurring more frequently as USA increases its cultural hegemony throughout the world. Resist
Probably not so much, most knew that no mates Bill needed every vote he could muster.
If ACT had gotten fewer party votes, National would have gotten the overhang seat and been in a better position to form the government. Urghh, using the word "gotten" twice in a single sentence.
LOL Citing Institute of Energy Reasearch. (facepalm) From their website position statement: As the Obama administration launches into its second term, carbon tax proposals are surfacing in Congress that threaten to completely derail any hope of a true ...

I'm waiting for Bomber to identify that his precious Millennial and Gen Xers let his side down by not enrolling or voting.
Why? Because Judith exists, that's why.

How will they "end(ing) letting fees" ? If an agency provides a service in advertising and vetting tenants the agency must surely be paid. If the Greens mean that they'll shift the burden from the tenant to the landlord then they should say so clearly.
lol
Hmmf, I don't have a smart phone, I don't want one and f*cked if I'll carry a pc to the beach for summer reading. E books, no matter what platform, can be a pain in the arse if, like me, you read a far number of technical and scientific articles. Often ...
Actually, to me the important take home from the NYT article is : With respect to fossil fuels, water use and mineral consumption, the impact of one e-reader payback equals roughly 40 to 50 books. When it comes to global warming, though, it’s 100 books; ...
I only use digital books: Printed books use three times more raw materials and 78 times more water to produce when compared to e-books. That appears to be a very dodgy claim. The source cited by wikipedia entry for that claim does not support it. The ...
What exactly are you asking? Yes, dev's comment/question is incoherent.
. This reinforces, of course, how many NZ voters are driven by personality politics as opposed to the policies themselves. It makes me despair.
Exactly, Tracy.
