I realise that this would normally be our silly season, but it seems a bit macabre with the northern winter death toll. But nothing really excuses Chris Bishop for being a complete dickhead in barking for immediate offshore testing for travellers from the UK. It is pointless. The government are a bit more sensible. They’re instituting an extra test at our border.
Young authors may be self-censoring because they worry they will be trolled or cancelled , according to celebrated writer Sir Kazuo Ishiguro.
Sir Kazuo, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2017, warned that a climate of fear was preventing some people from writing what they want.
He said they may be concerned that an anonymous lynch mob will turn up online and make their lives a misery .
He told the BBC: I very much fear for the younger generation of writers.
The 66-year-old said he was worried that less established authors were self-censoring by avoiding writing from certain viewpoints or including characters outside their immediate experiences.
It s sweet. I Got here 3/9 and all okay, so far.
The area is pretty depressed and ripe for some government intervention investment, but I guess in a relatively isolated small community of 5000, it s easier to pay the benefit than do the hard work.
Personally it s been a fantastic move. My house is on a 1/4 acre section, all paid for, so feel blessed I only have to pay utilities and rates (even if the $3600pa is way more than in Hamilton). Still pinch myself a couple of times a day, like when out on the deck and looking up, having forgotten the mountain ranges were there, or even just having a deck to sit on in the first place – I m easily pleased.
That is amusing. Prentious. Obvious as well.
I just prefer to keep people from looking at my desks. Cables everywhere (I currently have 18 USB ports active in the desk). Hardware. Test equipment. Coffee cups. Pens & hardcopy. Laptops. Flash drives and external hdds. Phones. Pads. etc
Instead, they look at the lights above me or (at home) at a mini kitchen.

Your workspace sounds like my workshop.
A litany of unfinished projects; flagon holders from repurposed pallets, a proof of concept star roller for making firework stars, containers of grape, willow and pine charcoal waiting for processing into biochar or aforementioned fireworks…, charcoal retort mark 2 nearly finished, remnants of quart bottles of home brew that became bottle bombs.
