NZF said they wouldn't work with Labor and Labor said they wouldn't work with NZF. The voters would feel justifiably betrayed if they ignored those promises. And I see no reason why the left coalition would work together any better. Can you imagine NZF and TPM agreeing on anything?
I don't understand why the parties play the game of ruling in or out. Surely it's better to pretend they will work with any other party, it puts them in a much stronger negotiating position.
Running is an underrated mode of transport. For some reason it's socially acceptable to exert yourself hard while on a bike, but not running. When combined with public transport it can make all the difference to be able to make a tight transfer by sprinting for it.
Is this really substantial? With a skilled manual driver or a clever automatic gearbox, the majority of braking should be engine braking. It seems to me that regenerative braking is typically replacing what would be engine braking, the unplanned stops still use friction brakes.
Only at low speeds. At high speeds for a modern car the tyre noise is louder that the engine noise, and since electric cars are heavier they would be noisier.
And reduce the propping of petrostates
Replace mining oil with mining rare metals. Not a big improvement.
They also help normalise the usage of renewable energy (this is a factor that shouldn't be overlooked, imo)
Why? Electric cars are causing a huge load on the grid and will continue to do so. In countries that haven't managed the load and invested heavily in renewable capacity, those EVs are powered by fossil fuels.
There's nuances here, but in principle you are incorrect. A car can be assumed to be infinitely heavier than a pedestrian. That means that every part of their body that's in contact with the car will be accelerated to car speed. So it's not that with a larger area the force is spread out, there's actually just more places that have force applied. In other words, a low car will break your legs, a high car will break your legs and torso.
Their aggressive, misleading and clickbait ads, particularly as YouTube sponsorships. From my experience the product is fine, but the ads make it seem like their covering up for something.
Podcasts are just a RSS feed with an mp3 downloas link. It's trivial to open the RSS feed in your browser and locate the mp3 download link. Download the mp3, open it in any audio editor, edit out the ad. Or find the folder where your podcast app stores the mp3s and edit them from there.
Personally, I'm OK with podcast ads as there's limited opportunity for tracking or personalization. If we don't encorage podcasts to remain as an open platform, they will be swallowed up by Spotify.
The last paid Mac OS update was Mountain Lion in 2012. Wasn't the last paid Windows update Windows 7 in 2009, since it's technically possible to update all the way to Windows 11 without buying another license.
Essentially you setup your router to port forward any new incoming connections to Caddy, which then decides what to do with them according to the configuration (Caddyfile).
Even simpler: Your local network is like a castle, inside is a safe and secure place where your devices communicate freely. Your router is a firewall around the castle, by default it blocks incoming connections. This is good because the internet is scary. By port forwarding you allow a door in the firewall which leads to Caddy, which is like a guard. Caddy asks them what they want, and if they say e.g. jellyfin.example.com, then it sets up an encrypted connection with https to your local jellyfin server. If they want anything else they aren't allowed in.
No, I don't think so. Living as if you don't have free will would be impossible, you'd never get anything done. We have to ignore a lot of interesting philosophy in order to function.
