Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

🇮🇳 has played home Test series of three or more games since 1933. 91 years & 65 series later, they’ve been whitewashed for the very first time. This is by far the greatest achievement in @BLACKCAPS history & one of most remarkable Test series performances by any side full stop.

This is what's going on and why your Eft-Pos ain't working.
⚡️🚨CrowdStrike Update Triggers BSOD Chaos On July 19, 2024, a global issue with CrowdStrike Falcon agents caused widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) boot loops on numerous endpoints. Reports of affected devices and servers experiencing crashes and being unable to resume correctly were noted across various countries including New Zealand, Australia, Japan, India, and the United States. The issue appears to be linked to a recent update from CrowdStrike, leading to significant outages and disruptions in both corporate and government environments. The exact cause and potential solutions are still under investigation, with no official confirmation of the root cause or any malicious intent behind the incident. CrowdStrike's Falcon security software update has caused a global issue, leading to a widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) boot loop on Windows endpoints. This has resulted in significant outages across various sectors, including supermarkets, banks, and broadcasters. The problem appears to be related to the csagent.sys driver, affecting a large number of machines worldwide. CrowdStrike's engineering teams are actively working to resolve the issue, and the company has advised against opening support tickets for this problem. #Crowdstrike #BSOD #csagent

I don’t live in the US and thus don’t vote there. I didn’t watch the debate but for the good of the country I continue to not understand why Biden hasn’t announced he is stepping down after this term and making it an open convention. I expect almost anyone else could beat Trump.

Huge scoop from @JeneeTibshraeny: Waka Kotahi costings show their transport plan has blown out by as much as $24 billion. Will force the Nats to choose between their rep for fiscal responsibility and breaking election promises. nzherald.co.nz/business/tran…

My reaction to hearing about Shane MacGowan's death was the same as my reaction to Lemmy's, which was, how the f**k did he make it past 60? Glad he did though. I life very well lived. Here's a fabulous anecdote about the great man from Kiefer Sutherland. Worth a watch.

Amazing! Lauren Boebert just tried grilling a social security adminsitration official on his staff being “incompetent”, and it spectacularly backfired LIVE. 🔥 Boebert: “You are allowing delinquent employees to sit on their sofas at home instead of actually getting to work and doing their jobs” SS Official: “Our employees are working whether they’re in the office or at home.” Boebert: “Are you monitoring the work that they are doing from home on a regular basis?” SS official: “Yes we are.” Boebert: “Every employee? Do you have the numbers? SS official: “We have systems in place to schedule, assign and track workloads…Real time understanding of what actions are being processed at any given time. Additionally, our employees are required to be accessible to their supervisors, clients, colleagues and external parties during work hours via a variety of different means” Boebert: “Then why has the backlog for social security backlogs increased?” SS official: “Because we’ve been historically underfunded.”

Be great if other parties jumped in, supported this and we tried for a common ground on the how and content and moved beyond politics on delivery. I.e don’t let ministry of ed control it. Labour launches financial literacy in schools policy - NZ Herald nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e…
