We’ll find out, I guess.

There is something funny about him just bypassing them, to be honest.

Steering it wasn’t the issue, it was how to actually take control from the autopilot.

Except it was a different failure mode to what they were concerned about.

Third incident, this is the second major fuck up in recent time.

And I was on the boat for the first one.

The title is actually pretty close, it sounds like nobody knew how the helm system worked, nobody had been trained, and people were frantically pressing buttons trying to get control back.

Also, the vessel was doing freight only crossings and taking the long way across the strait via outer Queen Charlotte sound, because Kiwirail didn’t trust the boat, in particular the transmission.

I’m sailing across the strait Saturday, wish me luck!

That system sounds like a bit of a nightmare to use. And worse to turn off.

This was the south coast cleanup trip.

My legs hurt. Amazing scenery though.

Someone’s loaned me a mountain bike, I’ve been out after work a few times this week. I’m saving up to buy my own one soon.

I like April fools, it’s good to remind numpties that they are, in fact, numpties.

I do think the article should have been shorter though, I was just skimming through at the end. Concise writing is a lost art.

Labour’s transport spokesperson wasn’t able to be reached, and it remains unclear if there even is one.

That was a great throwaway line.

The amount of corporate speak in that article is off the charts.

Awesome news, and very cool technology as well.

The answer to that is probably because there’s no suitable category for this property on the site.

You’re very hung up on that detail, but it’s probably as simple as the listing not having a category for a property like this.
