The Americans who moved to NZ before COVID and haven't visited the US in awhile, may not appreciate how much prices have gone up there.
Prices in NZ have gone up, but in % terms a lot of other countries prices have gone up more %wise.
Other countries prices started lower then NZ prices but the pricing is now closer then it ever has been.
Although I would prefer if everyone's prices went down rather then all of us paying a Kings Ransom for groceries.
Thanks for the work you do Dave.
The main thing covered is the actual chain of events from the "black box" (my word for it) transcribed from the voice recordings from the report. Basically there was a lack of training, the crew didn't figure out that the ship was still on autopilot until it was way too late.
The Crew had control of the throttle but not control of the helm direction. So when the crew thought they were doing a full reverse they were actually making the problem worse. The crew went up to 100% throttle because they thought they had changed helm direction but in reality they we're just getting to the reef quicker because autopilot still was in control of the direction of the ship.
They didn't follow procedure didn't check if the autopilot was off and didn't discover this until after they had hit the reef. There is way more detail then that but basically that is the TLDR.
Please stop, a break, just a little break from the superhero genre, please 🙏
This rumor sounds like a crypto pump and dump.
Please buy Intel stock so we can sell ours!!
It's quiet here, I think there is around 60-70 unique users a day. Personally I like the fact that my home isn't crowded. It hasn't stopped me interacting with posts from elsewhere, but it depends on what you want out of your instance
There is a pretty good video about the details of the sinking, and some of the issues that may have contributed to the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNx5V4GmSdE
After we were married wife kept her last name, partially for professional reasons partially because she didn't like my last name :-) When we had kids we decided that the kids would have my last name to avoid hyphen hell and her last name is super generic so any time she has to search for an account at the bank or anything like that she almost always has someone else with the same first and last name it can be a pain to find the correct "her"
They reported on Hamas Attacks in a fairly standard news style when they attacked. Israel has killed at least 25x more civilians then Hamas i would expect slightly different reporting based on that at this stage.

Here in New Zealand you can buy it at the Hardware store in 20KG bags. Older houses have pot belly "stoves" for heat, which are smaller then log burners usually, and coal is the best fuel for them.
My longest was when i went 100% Full time on my main machine (no dual boot), I stopped distro-hoppping. I Installed Debian stable when it first came out (Jessie) and stayed with it until it shifted to "old-stable" which was a little bit over 3 years.
A lot of people give Debian stable a hard time but i found it worked well. Most software that i needed to be a little bit newer i could get from the backports repository. It was only at the end of it's lifecycle that i noticed started running in to software being a little to old for what i wanted to do. Then i went back to distro-hopping for a while until i found my next home. :-)
