The US is busy threatening all their "allies" over this too.

Nice to see them go full mask off and drag world into a objectively worse situation.

Why TF are a city council swearing an oath at all?

Derp, I forgot to add that in before posting.

It was going to be a big long gripe about profit seeking bullshit... but then I'd just be preaching to the choir ;-)

any reasonable excuse for these price increases.

Profit.

I guess I’ll have to get a few more bottles to expiriment.

Shame!

Occam's Razor: prefer the answer with the least assumptions. The simplest answer is that the stopper leaks.

You've only got a very small sample size and it's possible that the stopper is slightly asymmetric and fits well one way and no other.

The easiest way to unreliabily detect this is just to rotate the stopper in the neck and see if it sits in one place sightly differently than other positions.

Also, if you're more frequently drinking your preferred bourbon, you'll have a harder time noticing any evaporation.

Thing is, basic economics is a high school subject, except:

"Sir, when am I going to have to know how tariffs work in the real world?"

I'd much prefer my children alive and autistic than dead (or debilitatingly disabled) too.

There's something weird about people who seem to think the other way around.

I was wondering about that as I was furiously typing out my scathing sarcastic bullshit with a shit eating grin on my face.

It's not specific to RNZ, it's a cancer in all our domestic journalism. "You need to engage the reader with the headline", a factual headline isn't 'enough' anymore.

Now compare to autism diagnosese...

...and see no correlation.

We've observed enough of its orbit to know what shape it is.

From the little I've been reading Kent Overstreet just sounds like an incredibly arrogant developer with some talent.

It reeks of someone whose opinion of themselves exceeds their ability.

Oh I totally got the sarcasm!

I have considerable sympathy for the American people and pity for the ones who think they want this. Unfortunately for my country we tend to import quite a lot of American culture and seeing what's coming is worrisome.

The question is how long until.

At first I was "yes it is fine, so he hired a prostitute" then:

At least one of the girls was below the age of consent

Ah. Gotcha.

It is more that there's a grift happening. What's the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It's a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

... gun wrested off gang associate

... a rifle was thrown from a car

A man outside the car then reached in, pulled out the rifle and threw it into nearby bushes.

How many guns and how many people are we talking about?

Edit: OK, the full article has an extra sentence that helps

It's still a prestige brand in the eyes of the masses. It might not be as good a brag down at the country club, but letting the plebs know that you can afford a car that costs more than their house still has value.

Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.
