  • Did you also have the group that had competition to see who could hold hot glue the longest, wacked eachother with metal rulers held over bunsen burners, and snorted citric acid when you made sherbert?

    I had some of those in my school too...

  • I find it interesting more than anything else.

    In high school electronics we also used a tesla coil (that can kill you if you touch the wrong place) so they disconnected the mains cord so it had to be rewired prior to use to keep us safer.

    They taught us how to wire plugs the following week...

  • For people scared of flying - it is actually shocking how redundant and safe air travel actually is.

    The number of things that can fail, thinga they have thought about and have a perfectly flyable and landable aircraft is one of the great achievements in human history. They don't even let pilots eat the same in-flight meal because of the possibility of food poisoning.

  • One of the few I can think of is asymmetrical gear - one side deployed but not the other. Will cause a plane to dig into runway and spin/disintegrate. Maybe gear up was the plan, but too fast and too heavy with wrong configuration.

  • Same touchdown zone regardless, but they could have floated while they waited for the non existent gear to touch down.

    Also explains the lack of spoilers and why the wings are still generating lift - they are usually set to engage when there is pressure on the gear.

    Auckland regional fuel tax looking to be scrapped

    Look, we need the money and fuel is bloody expensive, but I believe we are adding another problem to the next generation and regressing further.

    The tax sucks, but the benefits were worth it.

    does this new years feel subdued to anyone else, even after taking the weather into account?

    Like the whole country is just exhausted

    opinion: The NZ dream and culture has made us fall behind as a country.

    Don't know the best way to put this but ill try.

    As much as I love this country, we have fallen soo far behind. I don't want to get to political, but I think Labour tried to fix it in one way, now Nat will try the other. Neither will work in the time they have.

    We always prided ourselves on our past accomplishments- women vote, Hillary, Rutherford, Nuclear Free, Maori Batallion - and what we are as a country - massive dairy producers, amazing tourist destination, friendly people. But we have dwelled on it too long and got complacent. Our desire to repeat our past success has made us miss opportunities that require years of investment, and meant we are now in a cultural and economic hole that will be increasingly difficult, expensive and time consuming to get ourselves out from.

    We have a tiny population and limited housing in an empty country where people have limited desire and finances for kids. Massive farms that produce income for a few overseas investors or historic families. M
