More NZ signs that are extremely honest
A sign with a large photo of a kākā (a type of New Zealand parrot) that says "Big Bird, Big Beak, Big Bite" and "SAFETY FIRST" A bright red sign that says "DANGER ROCKFALL" with a drawing of someone standing inside a cave, with a big chunk of rock about to fall on top of their head A sign from the New Plymouth District Council that says "Why are you dumping rubbish here?" with several check box options below that says "I'm a jerk", "I don't care about my community", and "I think other people should pay to clean up after me". At the bottom it says "Don't be a tosser" A huge sign by a beach in Napier that says "LONG OR STRONG GET GONE" and has a map showing where you need to get away from if there's a large earthquake because a tsunami could inundate a lot of the land area.

2 pics - top: an uthappam getting prepared - white batter in a circle on a dark cast iron griddle, with chopped onions and green chilli scattered on top Bottom: slightly closer view of the top of the uthappam after flipping and cooking and reflupping so the onions and chillis are a touch charred and the batter is cooked

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how […]

1) We had some of the biggest Youtubers posting videos about their Linux journey.
2) Valve announced fresh hardware.

Can we stop calling the Venezuelan leader "authoritarian" and a "dictator"

It's clear which country is harbouring the authoritarian dictator here

It is a 5-year tradition by now to do predictions at the end of each year and to review how last year's predictions performed (I got ~3/4 mostly right).
