In Australia they race tiny boats

newtboy says...

Oh yeah! You Kiwi's are awesome at craziness! I did the Shotover jet boat ride and bungied with AJ Hacket when I was there in the 80's....WOOHOO!
I also love jet boat sprint racing, have for years....it's like formula offroad for boats!

@eric3579, you misspelt Strayia in the title.

@newtboy, jet boats were invented in NZ. In some dudes shed.

Nuclear Fusion in a Basement with a Reclusive Gunsmith

ChaosEngine says...

Fusion is the single most important thing in the world right now.

We should be researching this like there's no tomorrow, because without fusion, there really isn't much of a tomorrow. We also have a limited window in which to "bootstrap" ourselves into the fusion age; fusion takes a lot of power to research and we'll only have the cheap energy to do it for the next 50 years or so.

But while I wish him all the best with his fusion reactor, I'm kinda sceptical that someone in a shed is going to beat incredibly well funded scientists and engineers to the punch.

Besides, if someone in a shed is going to invent fusion, it will be a kiwi.

OTHER PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. SLOW DOWN!

What annoys me is that this ad is absolutely a blame game.

The guy who pulls out is implicitly portrayed as the victim. He's dressed in "normal" clothes, has his kid with him, and the first words out of his mouth are "mate, I'm sorry". Everything about this ad is designed to illicit sympathy for him.

Look at this guy. Hard working kiwi bloke, cares about his kid (who's even in the right booster seat).

and he's murdered by an arrogant business man who's portrayed as unwilling to prevent the accident.

Finally what's the message of the ad? Not "be careful when pulling out onto a main road", but "slow down".

btw, you can edit your posts if you make a mistake.

I think some of you are missing the point. The ad lays no blame, it just states that mistakes are made and those mistakes can have consequences. The guy with the kid made the mistake of overestimating the time he had to pull out, or maybe made the mistake of proper attention on a road he likely is very, very familiar with. The other guy made the mistake of driving over the speed limit and not being fully aware of what someone else's mistake might be. We've all been both of those drivers at least once. The ad is a cautionary tale, not a "blame game" one.

An American watching this psa there kiwi, one that actually drives his car and pays fucking attention to the road and the creatures on it who could give a fuck about the moment, is that both of these dimwits had they been in the U.S., would have been on their motherfucking cellphones with masturbatory thumbs ushering them into the next world.

Nearly involved in a 4-car-collison today, mid-afternoon here in Texas (Houston has some of the most distracted and retarded drivers on any road) because some dumbshit was on a phone, along with 2 other drivers who barley escaped jacking-off similarly behind the wheel.

This rural situation is a cake-walk here, but dumbasses still manage on unpolluted roads to fly unconscious in a helicopter to hospital.

Legalize GTA-style citizen watches and watch the shit change overnight....

Little Girl's Water Prank on Sister Fails Miserably

You might find one or two folks from the "West Island" of New Zealand who would object to that and maybe even a few from the North and South Islands but what the heck... I, for one, welcome our Kiwi overlords
