Not sure about this one, seems far less disruptive than protests in the real world, and forgery seems a bit extreme, false pretences maybe...

Quote:Just days before the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (Pepanz) conference began on September 30 in 2019 at QueenstownÔÇÖs Millennium Hotel, attended by delegates from around the world, the defendant sent a spoof email saying the event had been called off.

"We apologise for the inconvenience. We will endeavour to reimburse stakeholders for registrations, including flights to and from Queenstown where possible," she wrote.

"Our only recourse at this point is to completely reassess our approach to the basis of our industry, petroleum... But there is a silver lining to all of this: we will not be there to listen to that incessant chanting."

Penwarden admitted composing and sending the email to those scheduled to speak at the symposium but said it was simply satire.

This is hilarious. I must say this flag has kind of grown on me.

Has something in file system changed in Win10/11?  Used to be able to recover a deleted file if the part of the hdd that holds the file wasn't overwritten.

I just did a few test.  I had 2 jpg file, I delete one of them using shift-del and the other one I cut the file & paste it to an USB drive.

I immediately ran a few recovery software which they can see the deleted files, but all said the chances to recover them are low.  And the jpg file won't open at all after recovery.

Any ideas?  Or if someone has some file recovery software on hand, can they please try and see if that's the case?  Or is there a good file recovery software that you guys know that's good?  I've tried R-Undelete, Disk Drill.

Thanks

The Greens unveiled their wealth tax earlier; approximately 2 milliseconds later, the Nats started finger pointing & proclaiming loudly 'politics of envy' thus revealing to the entire country their complete & utter lack of even basic understanding of how difficult daily life now is for many in this country.

They either ignore or do not comprehend that across the country parents tend to go hungry sometimes in order to feed their kids; ignore or don't understand that for some the 'choice' comes down to whether to pay rent & keep the roof over their heads, or buy groceries.

Realistically, this could  more accurately be called 'the politics of fairness'.

I'm wondering just what might happen if every last person now affected by poverty to some extent was to vote Green in the next election.

 I'm not certain but I'm reasonably sure that there are more of us now struggling than there are wealthy people...

Just had a brief look at a UK forum I sometimes visit, & while they're all pleased at the news that Boris has gone they all suspect that he may try to return at some stage.

A wrecked public meeting in Hamilton.   This kind of conspiracist disruption will result in increasing numbers of closed-door meetings and decreasing opportunities for public input.   All part of Counterspin's avowed intention to disrupt democracy.

And just in case you don't know,  a 20 minute city or neighbourhood is one where the inhabitants' needs can all be met within a 20 minute walk or cycle from their home.   Many small towns already fit this description and just need some cycle lanes for safety.

If only - but I suspect there's more wriggling to come before that can happen. So very bizarre that anyone in this situation can still be eligible to run for President.
