Thanks! We're currently boiling multiple pots and kettles! Though I suspect the aquifer down the road is ok, not taking any chances!

Boil water alert notice

WTAF??? C'mon, get this basic infrastructure sorted ffs! And you want to introduce rate caps? This is not a serious country! #NZpol

Hmmm, yes, you win, but not to be out done, NZ off a long run up:

I think Ao/NZ can beat Oz on that front with the calamitous coalition RW government cancelling 2x Cook Strait ferries, paying $100'sMs in breakage fees, and then ordering inferior ferries at a higher price than the original ferries, to arrive 3yrs later!

Any chance of bringing a flock over to the Mahia peninsula to take care of a few rockets in Ao/NZ? #rocketlab

I'll happily help the council out by notifying them of the AirBnBs in our neighbourhood, not sure they're compliant nor paying business rates (or income tax)?

Cc Aotearoa - watch this ad in full.

If you’ve never heard @maramadavidson.bsky.social or Chlöe Swarbrick speak, can confirm they very eloquently talk about this all the time.

Hope should be normal, and imo the Greens offer hope - and the best chance of action.

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

Ao/NZ government 'helping' Ao/NZ scientists achieve this goal through inadequate funding mechanisms and ever diminishing funding pool. #nzpol

There is no ceasefire.

Just Israeli death and destruction.

Every single day, for decades.

Relentless oppression.

They kill kids for fun.

Devastated to hear of Rob Hirst’s passing. Fuck cancer. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

"$76B by 2038"? I've got a bridge to sell you!

An excellent thread as usual from @michaelsfuhrer.bsky.social
I wonder how Ao/NZ universities stack up in this count?

This is devastating news. Emma was an absolute star and such a visionary leader in Australian academia and science world wide, what a loss.

I wonder if we could apply this thinking in AoNZ? Yeah-Nah!

When pricing a rental car recently I inadvertently forgot to hit the check box that said 'NZ resident' and it defaulted to overseas resident, the price differential was astounding!

Looking at you Ao/NZ guvmint, oh wait, no...

Why can't we have progressive policies like this in Ao/NZ? Don't answer, I know why!

Vibes!

Same could be said Ao/NZ guvmibt and their brain-dead climate policies! Pharking moronic!

Thanks Stu! Yep, could identify all except Damien, say G'day to everyone! No one has aged one bit... enjoy the ceremony, what a week for you all!

Hey Stu, think I can recognise 4 peeps in the photo from back on the day, but it gets a bit grainy (is that the photo or my brain?) but who IS in the photo with you???

Absolutely loving Stu's travelogue en route to the Nobel Prize ceremony with Richard Robson. So many familiar faces of #Ozchem!

Especially love that you're eating reindeer in the lead up to Christmas!

This whole thread worth a close a read! While I knew heavy metals were emitted I hadn't appreciated the amount emitted by coal fired electricity generation.

Renewable electricity generation not only the cheapest but the best for the environment and our health!

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

What a fantastic person and what an adventure!
