The organised rape of woman carried out by Hamas, shows Hamas to be devoid of any humanity. Compared to the systematic and ongoing rapes in Israeli prisons over decades? The beatings resulting in death of unarmed prisoners by guards. The english version ...
I have determined that you are useless lazy unthinking dickhead and not providing anything of use to this site. All of your comments are now subject to automatic moderation until I and the moderators get tired of amending your stupid outbursts. Which won't...
I'll pick up the baton for Paul Rain on this: Yeah Paul Rain is increasing looking to me to be a useless lazy dickhead in this site who can't think. I have been aware of many of these links and linked a few myself in comments. Honestly, why would people ...
I'll pick up the baton for Paul Rain on this: I have been aware of many of these and linked a few myself in comments. Honestly, why would people expect anything else from a state founded by acts of terrorism and ethnic cleansing, which it then glorified ...
It was also quite simple to track in the LINZ databases by the IRD. The only thing that they could have done better would have to been to force a withholding in property transfers where the status of the property might be in doubt. Make that part of the ...
See my moderation note.
There are some. There is are several ongoing issues with the mobile theme and focus in comments. It is reproducible but too transient to figure out what the actual issue is. It is also damn hard to add the debug code that could figure out the ordering ...
Yeah languages are often profession specific. Each time I change jobs I have to learn a whole new set because I always jump to a largely different industry. My last four jobs over the past 25 years have been in massively multi-player online gaming full of ...
I'm glad that South African government has brought the case to the ICC. The actions of the Israeli government and military in this conflict deserve to be put under a microscope. The military* incursion of Israel by Hamas/IJ who attacked military positions,...
Now running on a nvme storage backed with lvm snapshots and hourly offsite backups. The old 1Tb SSDs will be repurposed. Should be only moderately faster in reality. It is about 5x at read random even on this older nvme. I'll do a trials after I drop ...
:) Problem is that I was born in Auckland with warm seawater in my social holiday genetics. Drying off wasn't really a thing I grew up having to do unless I went swimming in mid-winter. Even then, it was more getting out of the wind rather than drying off....
All I remember about being in Wanaka was the duck itch from the burrowing parasites (and no - I am not talking about the humons). Even gets into under the neoprene.
What else can you call it? When was the last time that NATO or the US attacked Russian or the USSR territory. It has been more than 80 years since operation Barbarossa (you may have to look that bit of history up) which was the last time that a European ...
Look at the date of the formation of the UNRWA. Even international bodies learn after they have to deal with the consequences of their decisions. In this case the deliberate Israeli ethnic cleansing creating refugees caused the UN to have to deal with ...
In law, personal, state and international there are two things that are looked at, the actual acts and the actual intents. Both have to be present before a criminal act has occurred. There is a reason for that, and you obviously haven't thought it through...
Francesca seems to never look at anything that might upset their world view. I suspect that there is a religious component in their nature, one that completely relies on uninformed faith rather than knowledge. I noticed the fast response as well. That is ...
Fixed.
Not exactly - that is a nice Russian propaganda line and relates to a treaty of protection. One that the Russians violated 13 years later when they came to an agreement with Poland to divide up the territory between themselves by occupation. Wikipedia: ...
FFS: The current Russian Federation isn't the only place that had Russian imperial colonies of ethnic Russians implanted. Nor is it the only place that has Russian Federation has military bases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_military_bases_...
Russia has old colonies in the form of large ethic Russian minorities in countries from the Baltics through to the Chinese, Afghanistan, and Turkish borders in countries that used to be part of imperial Russia and then the USSR. For instance eastern ...
I actually agree about Israel. Clearly in this current conflict in Gaza and the actions of the Israeli state supported settler movement clearly pointing to an attempt to repeat the deliberate Israeli state campaign to cause the nakba of 1948. On the other ...
Like you, Mike does appear to me to be a supporter of current Russian imperialism. I guess that you're a little light on Russian imperial history? The Russian Federation seems to be locked in the ideas of the 18th and 19th centuries. Try doing some actual ...
Agreed that the UN isn't perfect. That wasn't my point - which was that having the UN and its charter has reduced the levels of conflict markedly. As I pointed out with the examples of Russian occupied territory there is a world of difference between a ...
If you want to write your own 'post' then use Open Mike. Stick to the content of my post when leaving comments on my post. Passing in pretty obvious fake information and propaganda will just result in me getting irritated and using the Open Mike button or ...

Unlike Mike Smith and other noisy members of the imperialist support group, I applaud that NZ foreign policy has remained consistent in upholding UN and ICC policies against invasions and forced annexations. Christopher Luxon has finally managed to do …
I'll be doing some site development work between now and the 8th Jan while I'm off work (I'm on call for much of the remainder of December and January). Most of that will be writing a modernised theme for the site. In theory it won't affect the site until ...

An employee can resign at any time (usually with one pay period notice) ... Ah no. What is in the employee contracts apply. Most of my employment contracts have notice periods ranging from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. They are also explicit that taking holiday ...
Just one example. Had a friend who was employed as a PA/gofer in a finance company to replace a PA who quit. Rumour was because the employer was a bit of an arsehole manager. Employment agency paid back the commission. My friend got terminated 10 days ...
The presvious government thought that 90-Day trials were okay for SME's. Would anyone care to explain that logic if they are so bad? Not the previous government. It was the one before that from 2017 to 2020 which was a coalition with a illogical NZ First ...
Yep - it saves piss-poor managers from having to become better ones.
