Perfect application for early Spatial Computing. Whether the app is any good? No idea.

📺 Bad Sisters

Just finished Series 1, and waiting a bit longer to start Season 2, so I’m not kept waiting! What took me so long? No idea. Just great.

JP .. totally psychopathically horrible .. and all 5 sisters … the same yet very different. Great show.

The history and growth of humanity is a result of the introduction of more and more ‘self correcting mechanisms’ and less ‘dogma’.

"To be real clear - I am NOT an Airline Analyst. I haven’t even played one on TV. But I do tend to look around and question claims that seem spurious. (And in my time down in New Zealand, I do hear a large number of claims made that do not seem to add up)."

🖇️ My take on Chris Luxon. If you don’t know the name, that’s because he’s no Jacinda Arden .. though he holds her office in Aotearoa
