Serious Software Flaws
Well, that is one way of describing it, I guess. Do you remember the incident in March 2018 when a pedestrian was struck and killed by a ‘self-driving’ Uber car? The driver was seemingly distracted at the time and was apparently relying on the software to drive the car. However,
From the NSS Files
The Urban Form and Transport Initiative group have produced a report which includes this graphic about climate change. One wonders how many ratepayer/taxpayer dollars were expended to come up with that piece of brilliance. I have a sneaky suspicion that rainfall already varies locally within the region.
I’m Sooo Depressed
Poor old Martin Martyn Bradbury. No wonder his blog is so depressing. A recent post is all doom and climate gloom. By 2030, over 50% of the oceans will be collapsing as bio-habitats. This quote links to The Washington Post, that paragon of scientific rigour: More than half the world’
Taking the Mickey Out of the Other 11,257
The headlines scream, “A ‘study’ shows over 11,000 scientists say there is a climate emergency.” Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and to “tell it like it is.” On the basis of this obligation and the graphical indicators presented below, we declare,
Greta’s Gutted
Poor young St Greta, she has ended up on the wrong side of the Atlantic after those inconsiderate Chileans cancelled the climate talkfest and Spain agreed to host the next taxpayer-funded junket trip for the faithful on the wrong side of the Atlantic. At least she is, sort of, being
Kiwi As
A number of truly momentous things happened in New Zealand in 1886. In June, there was a large eruption at Tarawera which buried a village and flooded the Pink & White Terraces; In August, WH’s great-grandfather arrived from England; and, on 3 November, in a sleepy little farming community
#WaPoDeathNotices
After The Washington Post described a mass-murdering religious psychopath, responsible for many thousands of rapes, tortures, burnings-alive, crucifixions, a surge in global terrorism and the attempted genocide of the Yezidis as an “austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State” the Twitter comedians have had a field day composing
No More White Supremacy
On October 14, Asao Inoue gave a 75-minute lecture entitled “Freeing Our Minds and Innovating Our Pedagogy from White Language Supremacy”. Inoue is a professor and the associate dean of the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at Arizona State University. Inoue stated that we are all implicated in white
‘Climate Emergency’ Fails: Summary
As the media have collaborated to bombard the populace with environmental and climate doom propaganda, it is only fair and reasonable to hold their feet to the fire (as it were) and examine past media promoted predictions that have failed to materialise. Here is a list that has been circulating
Have You Checked Your Presuppositions Recently?
No, not your suppositories, your presuppositions. We all have them whether we realise it or not. A presupposition is something that we accept as true, without necessarily having proof. A case in point is presuppositional apologetics. There are two theological presuppositions: “In the beginning God…” or “In the beginning, not

Things That Make Me Go Hmm
The Tauranga City Council staff held a protest about wages during the swearing-in ceremony for their new Councillors, on Thursday. I would be willing to bet that the foreground placard bearer never contributed a cent towards it. My guess is that it was: * Produced on Council equipment paid for by
Plastic Lasts Forever – Or Does It?
How many times have you seen a statement to the effect: Plastic is designed to last forever, but is only used for a minute. Zerowasteguy – (no link as I don’t want him to feel important) Fortunately, there are still some scientists out there doing actual real science, and a
