I’m all here for it. Max as 5 times champ has a great ring to it. I’ll leave Lando to do Lando things and watch Max drive off in to the distance.

McLaren seem hell bent on helping Max win the drivers title. And Max ain’t saying no. #F1

Just think how much housing for homeless people we could build with NZ$2.7 billion.

How many doctors, nurses, police, teachers, engineers, et al, we could train.

Hopeless.

So old mate John Key on Three News saying he got a rates bill of $114000 NZD for his holiday house in Maui. So either he’s full of shit, or he owns a holiday house worth $20M USD.

Finding purpose is so important.

I’ve got to the point of hospital boredom where I considered watching Parliament TV. Thankfully I’m not quite that bored, yet.

Don’t think there’s enough money in the world to convince me to watch that.

Also, daytime broadcast tv is dismal.

I guarantee I’m not paying them $2M in premiums. I guess they get to invest my premiums until the inevitable happens.

Still, insurance is usually for the unexpected not the inevitable.

Ryan the Sore @ryan.crawcour.social · 2d

I don’t understand life insurance.

“We cover death by any cause” & “100% payable if diagnosed with a terminal illness” ….. ummmmm, aren’t we all going to die? It’s not optional. Life is terminal.

So you’re insuring somebody for the inevitable.

Send like a terrible business idea.

Understanding things or trying to understand them is a feature of science, the entire point in fact

And if you do it well enough then you might be considered an expert

Making up and cherry picking data is not a feature of science though. That's those other things he was talking about 🙄

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
