That's why I made the comment about a smuggling operation gone wrong in the description, I suspect this was how the drugs got into the country in the first place.

Floating solar sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me, I suspect if it was as easy as the people promoting it make out, it would already be everywhere.

It also doesn't help that our hydro is mostly at the other end of the country to where all the sun is.

That's what I thought, and in this economy?

We're incredibly fortunate to have so much hydro too, because it can be ramped up and down so quickly, so it works very well to fill in the gaps in base load.

Dams that have low water levels still work quite effectively as peak plants, too.

Oof. Retailers definitely aren't making money right now.

Yeah, the fact that it was specifically Disney characters I felt was particularly on the nose.

The short version is it's an auction, retailers and large users bid against each other on the spot market. There's also stuff like futures contracts etc.

Editing in the sounds of a helicopter was an odd choice.

Given how long stuff takes to arrive from Temu, Ali Express etc, I'd be pretty annoyed about even that.

This is pretty poor communication, I'd expect better from an organisation like NZ Post, especially considering how important their service is.

There could be medications, and other vital stuff in that truck.

By the time the police were called, they were refusing to leave, acting beliggerent towards staff, and generally ruining the experience for everyone around them.

The video that they posted themselves makes them look pretty awful.

There's a video of the incident in an article someone posted in the comments, they were asked to either remove the food, or leave and get a refund, they declined to do either. Their conduct towards the employees was also way out of line.

Honestly, both parties are pretty awful in this situation.

Huh. I thought that just meant screen number three. What a generic name.

An off-camera voice can be heard commenting on the employee’s race.

My god what trashy people. The Guardian article is much kinder to them than it really should be.

I love seeing AI bite people in the ass. If it happens enough, everyone might actually shut the fuck up about it.

Isn't this what newswire services are for?

If the information supplied to the police was that there were two individuals being beliggerent, with children around as well, they probably wanted strength in numbers.

Is cinema 3 the actual name of the place?

They're winding you up, and quite successfully.

First, that doesn't really happen here. Second, it's incredibly rare for our police to even carry a firearm, let alone use one.

America isn't the world.
