How so?

I like this map.

I have a theory that if Antarctica were presented as a continent more often instead of some disjointed jagged bits at the edge, people would pay more attention to it and its issues.

I'd hope the bar for medical advice is higher than "better than the worst doctor".

Will be interesting to see where liability lies with this one. In the example given, following the advice could permanently worsen patients.

Given that the advice is proven to be wrong and goes against official medical guidance for doctors, that could potentially be material for a class action lawsuit.

Aha, so I'm not misremembering that it's a lagoon! Long time since I was running around there. I remember seeing one a few times near a... some kind of poem they have inscribed in metal on the waterfront path.

I love how their wings ripple. Also they have very calm faces.

Me too. One of my favourites in Wellington was that thing like a tiny lagoon next to the wharf, great for spotting them.

When I was swimming the other day it swam right up to me! Like, almost touching! I knew it was in the water with me because I'd floated over it earlier but I wasn't expecting anything like that. They are so beautiful. Made my year.

Kia ora tatou, I went for a swim in the ocean!! And there were no waves so I was able to go out deep and just float around out there.

It felt so free. Also, there was a stingray!

When we look at passing scores, is there any way to quantitatively grade them for magnitude?

Not all bad advice is created equal.

It would have to be the fail rate of an average doctor, because if average doctors are the use case then moving the bar to fail rate of a bad doctor doesn't make any sense. You would end up saying worse outcomes = better.

I think the missing piece here is accountability.

If doctors are being encouraged to give harmful out-of-date advice, who will end up with a class action lawsuit on their hands - doctors or OE?

That's really chilling that police are going after the green fairies.

Pretty unique day for the young dolphin as well.

Imagine doing a leap only to find yourself stranded with a bunch of creatures that insisted on taking you nearer their home and inspecting your body.

Thanks!

This... would give me pause about New World Havelock North's attitude to food safety.

Under NZ law you're not trespassing in a supermarket until you've been told about it.

To "trespass" someone is police-speak for to issue them with a trespass notice (verbally or in writing). In this article, "was trespassed" indicates he was the recipient of one.

I haven't seen Equilibrium. Is it any good? It sort of sounds like 1984 but with Prozac and a happier ending.

Flying from Melbourne to Doha is almost entirely over the ocean.

With 4 hours left in a 13h flight, they were probably near Sri Lanka but the Colombo airport is one of the busiest in South Asia, and as you say, it's a huge hassle to divert.

It happened over the sea.

I feel like they low key hated that particular couple.

I used to think that Soylent Green or Children of Men were probably the most realistic sci fis, but now we've got governments ignoring a disease that gives people brain damage, I think we're moving closer to Idiocracy.

Thanks for posting this here. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Love your username!
