I thought the reefs fell into depths well beyond divers.
The tanks are probably intact, there will be a few, hydraulics, fuel and oil.
A mate removed the fuel from the Mikhail Lermantov back in 86 without losing more than 100 litres he estimated, which they easily cleaned up. Took six men four months living above the wreck and that was shallow.
Not sure if robotics can operate at that level and anyway, the length of hoses would be a problem.
Beyond our Navy sadly because I'm sure they would like to do what they can to protect the seas and shoreline.

Difficult operations by the sound of it.
Companies like Svitzer are expensive but are experts in this type of expertise.
Did a pretty good job with the Rena from what I have heard

Privatisation killed renewables (behind a paywall)

New figures bolster the claim spending on new renewable electricity projects by Meridian, Mercury and Genesis collapsed after they were listed

Insanity for a tax cut for the rich

Don’t recall the previous Govt losing a Defence Force asset when they were in power - they couldn’t have been that bad then!

Going to be pretty disastrous to create a maritime disaster in another country. Hope it can be contained and kept to a minimum. Lot of spotlight on the area at the moment with the Kings arrival soon so very embarrassing

110% corrupt. If this was the greens, labour or maori the lynch mobs in these forums would be running rampant

Checking the record on Firearms Minister's Q+A interview

Nicole McKee remains confident she urged the government to close a so-called loophole in gun laws before the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attacks.

What about you mate? I worry for you. Before the turks came you were Worried3Death, then you went back to being Worried2Death. Next you’ll be Worried4Death. How are you feeling watching it all unfold?

Been getting pretty worried about the Iran/Israel situation this week, expecting the IDF to take out Iranian nuke facilities or oil plants. Well it would be the US military doing that really, let's face it. Hope it doesn't escalate beyond that. I'm always worried about Xi moving on Taiwan too, and what the US response would be, and what it would mean for us. We just sunk a quarter of our navy fleet on a Samoan reef, that doesn't bode well.
As for NZ politics, eh what can you do about neoliberalism, Labour will be back to save us in a term or two.
Ever studied Göbekli Tepe bro? Have you watched Hitler's speeches in English lately. Not long until the Pacific Cup, then it's a long wait until the trials. Bit worried we haven't signed another half.

Archaeologists Found A Site Older Than Göbekli Tepe | Gaia

Excavations at Boncuklu Tarla Turkey’s Mardin province began yielded what may be called an 11,300-year-old mini Göbekli Tepe — a Neolithic-era temple with three well-preserved monolithic stele structures

www.gaia.com

Something happening here, what it is isn’t exactly clear to quote Buffalo Springfield but when I googled it, this came up. Starting to think this all might be connected with Turkey here and the hijacking of the site in which I just mentioned in your wellbeing. I think we might be getting closer to the truth

What does the voice sound like? Is it like those Korean films with the American accent and the mouth is moving differently to the words?

Haven't seen them but heard they’re pretty big on X, I'm sure it was all perfectly reasonable when you hear it in English. They got James Earl Jones to voice them.

Not a fan but I could imagine it would be hard to put the energy into the delivery that he did for the translator

I know. It’s a conundrum, on one hand players probably like how we keep things in house. On the other hand rumours are fun to talk about on the forum

The business community has no time for Seymour’s culture wars

Surveying the big survey of business leaders reveals something that should have been blindingly obvious.

Keeping this off track, but I remember watching the first Kickboxer movie about 10 years ago and my Chilean flatmate at the time was shocked at how "high" JCVD's actual voice was. Apparently the Chilean voiceover that he grew up with was super deep and macho

Yay NZ Politics.

Luxon’s lack of popularity amongst business leaders shouldn’t come as a surprise, most know what he’s about. I recall a bloke once saying he knew Christopher back when he was just Chris. At that time he was Air NZ CEO & hated anyone shortening his name. Obviously the move into politics required a shortening in order to be viewed as a man of the people (which he most definitely shouldn’t be viewed as).
