Northland Puns

Now they're getting it. It was intensely obvious to me that Intel was extremely undervalued at 9-10x PE as a key provider in the growing cloud and edge space already, and even a moderately successful GPU lineup could add billions of dollars of growth to the company.

Still looks cheap af to me, and it provides a yield. I'm going to keep getting it here, I think 2023 will be a big year for them.

Look at Microsoft and Satya to see how a good CEO can turn around a company full of smart people that were just mismanaged for a while. Looks like Pat is more open to Intel embracing other ISAs, using other foundries, and selling capacity in their own foundries, even licensing x86, this flexibility is all good to me. Much different than the whole x86 or bust mentality that led to busts like Larrabee.

There are zero vaccination spots available to be booked on book my vaccine. Even if it is a month out till we can get them done, it should be able to be booked you would think. I live in an area with like only 70 something % vaccinated. Stink that we can't get the kids done till much later.

I know it's a bit of a longshot, but any help would be much appreciated. The reason for the rather niche request is that I'll hopefully be getting Lachie Munro on my podcast where we look back at a match and chat about it, so I was hoping to find a match he played in. I know the Reds vs Blues Semi-final from 2011 is on YouTube, but I was wondering if there were any other options.

Beach closed as "iwi saying the area's low vaccination leaving locals too vulnerable to Covid". Can't say I blame them.

But about halfway through, one of the residents saying "We're unvaxed out here. We don't believe none of that nonsense."

Seems the message just won't get through to some.

Did it take anyone else by surprise to hear the Police Commissioner reveal the Government’s made it legal for iwi up north to stop your car?

Yeah, me too.

So I checked it out.

Turns out, they did change the law.

Two weeks ago, on November 20 — a Saturday — they inserted a new bit into the Covid-19 Health Response Act granting the power to “close roads and public places and stop vehicles” to members of iwi organisations.

It’s there in black and white.

This means you don’t have a choice anymore to ignore what you might consider a vigilante roadblock.

If you pull up to one of those iwi checkpoints up north, or anywhere really and Constable Hone Harawira pulls you over, leans in your window and demands to check your vaccination status, you don’t get to choose whether you comply or not.

You have to because it’s the law now.

The Government will spin this by telling you it’s still technically a police checkpoint because there must be a police officer there.

But I’m sorry, having an officer in your window asking you for your test results is very different to having Constable Harawira making demands while a single copper sits next to their trailer 20 metres away playing on their cellphone.

What I find particularly objectionable about this is that we’ve been talking about this for days and asking the Government for clarity on what’s going to happen and at no point did anyone in Government tell us they’d changed this law.

Not when the Prime Minister was asked on Tuesday.

And not when Chris Hipkins was asked on Wednesday.

And not in any other interview since last Saturday when this topic came up.

If you don’t volunteer it and it’s relevant you’re hiding it.

So much for the most transparent government, huh?

This is shady as all hell.
