Just rig it so the pad explodes when the drone does. Or give the operators bomb collars, Battle Royale style. Problem solved.

In New Zealand, it's is specifically illegal to threaten to kill someone - writing it down, naming the person, and describing how is all sufficient. Even if it's Phillips Arps.

I'm not suggesting that anyone in this thread would in fact kill luxon if they had a chance, but the pigs are loving cunts really.

The greens have three jobs going at the moment: https://careers.parliament.govt.nz/search/page/0

Two comms support, one in Auckland, one in Welly, and a senior policy advisor based in Welly (despite "senior", these advisor roles are still relatively junior in the scope of public sector jobs, most people who do them are in their 20s).

Posting because there was a goon interested in working for the greens and I can't remember who it was.

Got some engineer friends who've commented on this, there's a lot of title inflation going about due to everyone's career drive and obligatory 'promotions'. Apparently senior engineer means little, it's 'pricipal' who's the lead of the team. Gotta ask some friends if it's the same in the coding world.

'senior engineer' (or the equivalent 'senior developer') means "someone who has advanced in their career enough to be able to read, google, and understand error messages"*. higher levels than that are more loosey goosey - a dev with some people management responsibilities might be called a team lead or something similar

don't call developers "engineers" though. it needlessly strokes their already-colossal egos

it's like that at the consultancy i work at as well - "senior" essentially just means you're not new to the company but aren't bringing enough cash in to warrant an actual promotion (principal) that bring benefits with it.

The engineers are literal engineers, designing mechanical machines for a big company. Fuckin' everyone I know is an engineer (the guys) or a medical doctor (all the women), it's really skewed my perception of things.
