I have a better idea.

1. Put them on a really nice island. Lots to do, plenty of fun things....but enough food for 80% of them. (there is only 3400 of them)
2. Leave them for a month.
3. Come back and ask who wants to help implement wealth taxes.
4. Take the ones that want to help out. Reduce food for new number.
5. Go back to 2
6. Put the sneaky ones back that were just saying it to get off the island.

I hate that bullshit

contributed to their own homelessness

Like what, had some dignity and self respect to get out of a shitty situation.

Basically.

A lot of people don't read articles.

Better title: NZ homelessness worst in history.

Terrible title; that is not what the article says.

Government rejections are up 386% since August 24; because they are arseholes....homelessness itself is not up by that much.

Don't sensationalise; the headline numbers are bad enough without trying to make it sound worse.

1 in a 1000 kiwis are now homeless; that is nearly 6,000 people; highest since measurements began......

There are 57,000 women who are homeless; or in housing that is not much better. Couch surfing; garages; substandard housing or even "uninhabitable" housing. There are 33,000 kids in the same situation with these women.

Whilst pricing everything at "what the market will bear" is valid; it is a shitty way to do business.

Valve has traditionally taken a longer view of things; if they sell a controller that you will love and use for years. Their reputation grows, especially if they are not gouging their customers for everything they can.

Valve will make more than enough by selling games via Steam; having an "optimized for Steam Controller" tag somewhere will keep those who already purchased happy; and drive more sales over the long run.

I'm giving racoon a go.

It's a bit different from boost, but I'll stock with it for a few days to see how it pans out.

From wiki.

assuming:

• Ballistic trajectory – no other forces are acting on the object, such as propulsion and friction.
• No other gravity-producing objects exist.

Ignoring atmospheric drag, it would.

I use windows at work, I have local admin which removed a lot of friction for a more technical user.

But the difference between my home machines (18 years Linux) and my work machine is friction. Windows makes things hard, it is always a few extra clicks or a stupid reg key change.

E.g. recently wanted my full right click menu back on win11, no nice setting option. Go edit this unnamed registry key, it seemed so janky in a modern os.

I'm a long time Mint user, jumped around a fair few distros but mint works well for me. It is so polished compared to windows, it seems crazy it is the free one.

It is looking very positive.

My banking app works without use issue.

I really haven't had any issues with graphene.

Hoping that the Motorola partnership will produce some great phones by the time I need to upgrade.

Windows, nothing I still dislike Microsoft products.

But seriously.
Peanut butter, good quality 100% peanut version changed my mind.
