  Charlie Kirk Assassination
Posted by: harm_less - 12-09-2025, 10:51 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (54)

His killing was not unexpected. His rhetoric served to put a huge target on his back and yesterday somebody took aim at it. 

With no suspect yet identified or apprehended it's difficult to judge what motives were actually involved but with the depth of political polarisation currently at play in the US possibilities are widespread. 

Perhaps a professional hit for political gain? It has taken the focus off of Epstein issue after all. 

A foreign actor is another aspect to consider. The likely aftermath of this may well be a destabilising influence on the US political landscape. 

Or it was just somebody with a high level of firearms skills that was fed up with the continual diatribe that was Charlie Kirk's MO.

A collection of his public statements...

  Old Legacy Laptop upgrade.
Posted by: Bryan - 12-09-2025, 06:12 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (13)

I have a Toshiba Tecra R850 Laptop. I have tried to see if it has UEFI but it would appear not to. When I go into BIOS, there is no menu item in any of the divisions ie. Main, Advanced etc that mention Legacy or UEFI. I have tried the restart method but that too does not show UEFI.

I have been able to install W11 23H2 but going to 24H2 is a no go. It is my understanding that 24H2 will not install on Legacy machines - even Rufus advises that during the compilation of a Rufus USB set up.

Please confirm that the Tecra has come to its end of life as an up to date Windows machine.

  ICE

Yells of "Gestapo" greeted ICE agents in Rochester New York; two workers were on a roof but the crowd blocked ICE from using their ladder to go up & arrest them.

  Politicians meddling with nursing
Posted by: Lilith7 - 07-09-2025, 03:53 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (5)

It seems like sheer idiocy
Health NZ have committed to  employ all graduate nurses, but for most or possibly even all, it may mean just 24 hours of work a week. Fgs what the hell IS wrong with this govt, are they quite determined to destroy our health system by every means possible & so move to a privatised health system?

They seem headed towards being a one term govt, & perhaps that's the problem; they've realised they won't be voted back & now want to do as much damage as they can before the next election.

  Housing falls far short of what's needed.
Posted by: Lilith7 - 07-09-2025, 12:28 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (18)

How very unusual for this govt.... Angry

Disgraceful. This shouldn't be happening, no one should be homeless.

 It wasn't always like this. It doesn't have to be like this.

Once upon a time decades ago, in 1935 " Then Minister of Housing Walter Nash told New Zealand it could not prosper or progress with a population that "lack[s] the conditions necessary for a 'home' and 'home life', in the best and fullest meaning of those words".

So basically saying that no one could prosper until all were housed. Which is a very different view to the present & some previous govts.
