I don’t but have you tried the usual tricks? Arcive the page and try to view the archived version, use a VPN to connect from a different country, look for browser scripts, etc?

If you link the article I can have a play.

Oh weird, you hadn’t already voted with that email? I was able to confirm my vote.

Census analysis is coming along great. Scripts I built last year have really helped with reducing the effort this year. Hopefully will be ready for a post next week.

Other than that I have been trying to work out why Lemmy emails stopped sending a few days ago, though we have them up and running now. It’s all a bit weird 🤷

And I’ve been playing with PieFed, so many options, have been getting a bit lost as there isn’t a lot of user documentation right now.

To be honest I find it a bit crazy to think that we have a tribunal setting the prices of things right up to the early 90s. I find it really hard to see how something like that could come about today!

Cool video, a life long NZ economist who grew up in the wake of the Great Depression from a generation earlier. Thanks for linking, that was an interesting watch! We should really bring back state owned power and other essentials.

At this point I’m just hoping someone invents a star trek style replicator to make money irrelevant.

My main question with this is if there is anything truly different from our current rules, and if those differences are clearly enough defined to actually be enforecable and make a difference.

I know Foodstuffs operate more stores than Woolworths, and splitting along the existing brand lines is easier, but it still feels wrong to take the cooperative, owned by the franchisees, where the profits go back to the local store owners, and break it up. While some giant Australian company that owns everything from the supply and distribution through to the dirt under it’s stores is left untouched.

This is cool! I’ve often been to the Fesival of Lights in New Plymouth, which is similar. Everyone loves a cool light show.

Oh damn, I hope the blast radius wasn’t too wide?

I’m currently in government where we aren’t allowed to run our own stuff, everything new has to be cloud services.

Well if seldom seen is the criteria, why not Fairy tern? only 40 left, and they are sea birds, so not many chances to see one!

I’m an undecided voter, gonna try to sell them to me? What do you like about those two in particular?

Anyone got a favourite or one they want to campaign for, try to pull in some extra votes?

Oh no! Quick, go do it now!

I posted another reminder post about 10 days back, and got another bunch of responses. I think we are at a similar level of LemmyNZ users as previous years now. I actually closed the survey earlier today, it’s been about a week since the last response. So now the work begins!

Haha I was also a little surprised. But I’ve also seen unfunded drugs and that price isn’t unusual. But surely MDMA isn’t under patent.

I guess it’s because it cost these two docs a fortune to get it approved?

Haha well it works on my phone but I couldn’t shake my laptop enough to create the effect.

Yes but this depends significantly on where you live.

Sure. Any driving you do increases your risk of death. But it’s likely you need to drive for other reasons that reduce your risk of death (like buying food).

Drinking is different because no one needs to drink.

It’s brilliant. The more multinational consultants get media attention about writing inaccurate reports with AI, the less AI they will want to use.

Yeah for sure. You could smell the change in those two as soon as it was election year.
