Coutts minimizing double compound leg fractures with "nobody was really seriously injured" and they should "perhaps respond in a better way in future" but "there is an element of danger and the athletes know it" is just.. red flags all over the place.
Well F1 got safe by getting incredibly serious about building survival cells, along with a range of other devices. If you want to be like F1, figure how to make crashes survivable!

Wild watching the SailGP crash between NZ and France, and the follow-up that is focused on the number of boats & racing format rather than the physical safety of the machines. Coutts suggesting that sailors "know the risk" and it's like F1.
So we're saying a Labour/Green coalition elected by townies will have absolute control over water and transport assets of farming communities? Interesting interesting.
Oddly enough NZ has a thriving medical tech industry.
but no one is an MP long enough to get fired for a multi-decade long Salesforce/IBM/whatever debacle.

seems reasonable

Ah ok expensive disaster.

Ok #gischat less than a week until @foss4g.org - the open, inclusive, educational and fun geospatial conference happening in Auckland from 17th-23rd November. 2025.foss4g.org - can I fit everything we're doing into one skeet (takes a breath)...

My word of the year is "Fractional".
Mate, just say part-time.
🤣
AI might no be taking all the jobs, but university student study participants might be top of the list.
Choose your fighter: medical efficacy study [in mice]; safety standard [based on 1950s white male]; sociological research outcome [using AI agents in place of humans]
Email us at chair@foss4g.org and we'll sort it out
:O where in NZ?
New Zealand used to have a spine on international issues. This is very disappointing, and the weeks of "wait and see" coyness from the PM is a bonus insult. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
He should also consider voting in his own electorate instead of casting a special. Didn't stop him declaring victory on the night so we all know what this is really about.
I find it interesting that the majority of GIS innovation happens outside of the USA. Tell me I'm wrong. #gischat
Workshops are only $NZ 50 and similarly available, the best value 3-hour training by industry experts you'll ever get.
Also proud to be providing childcare & travel grant assistance.
If you're in New Zealand and you just want to network, the Business 2 Business event is on $NZ 25 and open to everyone. Come along for an afternoon and find out what the OSGeo community is all about.
Hey #gischat don't forget to register for FOSS4G 2025. The schedule is up at 2025.foss4g.org. Just a few highlights:
- 4 amazing keynotes
- 44 workshops, 140 presentations, 50 lightning talks, 2 community days
- business 2 business, geochicas and gala dinner events
- movie screening
+ much more
And according to the government of personal responsibility, it's everybody else's fault.
They want her fired because hasn't gone far enough cutting services, not because she's trashed the economy.
Oh that's a very nice combo of technologies. 👏
This was very effective, A+ planning by the organisers. They were a sad little group in the end.
This is... massive. I thought it would be big but this is off the chart. RNZs "10,000" and highlighting the literal handful of counterprotests is very silly.
Looking back... this has to be the largest march we've seen by a fair margin
