@h_m_s @nicholasphilp We bought a plugin hybrid just prior to the removal of subsidies. Annoyingly, a similar vehicle is now available in showrooms for $20K LESS. Obviously I'm very glad we acquired that vehicle now, but one suspects the car dealers were the main beneficiaries of subsidies. 🫤

"If New Zealand desires a thriving, innovative, pioneering research community – and all its potential economic, social, and environmental benefits – this will not happen by accident.

It's pretty clear that divisive, left/right politics and unimaginative binary thinking is contributing to NZ's decline. If you are interested in business and innovation, but also care about big issues like environment and health - join me in helping @Qiulae and the teal team get across the line this election year. Collaboration is the way forward.

Artificial "intelligence" is rapidly becoming an amazing productivity tool. But that's all it is. Humans, with their foibles and flaws, bring context, empathy, cultural understanding and ethics to decision-making. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/12/how…

"This is an era when international relations have moved from rigid bipolar and unipolar systems to a more complex, decentralised state of affairs." A thought-provoking perspective, notwithstanding that previous attempts at "non-alignment" largely failed.

@kr1t1c4l @Renea That would be why. The Vampire was reportedly scooting around the hill over near Tai Tapu a few days ago btw, but I just missed it.

@kr1t1c4l Funny you should mention this. @Renea and I were recently wondering whether or not the blunty was still flying. Last time we saw him was years ago. 250ft AGL shooting across the Rimutaka summit pass.

Holy crap: My forthcoming book, A Billion Years of Sex Differences, just got mentioned in the New Zealand Listener! Kind of a lifelong dream - we always used to get the Listener when I was a kid.
