The target for NZ is Rattus Rattus and the Brushtail possum, they are the main predators that raid nests for both eggs and nestlings. The technique has so far been tested in mice but they are not the first concern. Stoats, weasels, feral cats are all issues in NZ but the rats and possums are the big targets since they don't just go after adult birds. Hedgehogs have been seen raiding eggs, but they prefer slugs and the population is small so they might be able to live alongside the native species with no major impact.
Another big problem is actually German Wasps, they eat the honeydew that the birds need, significantly harming breeding success.

which they don't have, so this is only going to end up with frenzied REEEEEEEEEEEEEEing from one group or another. It is going to be hilarious if you don't give a shit.

Why waste time turning air into water when we already have the holy grail of turning air into alcohol?

When you come from a lower income you are quite possibly the first and only person from your family to go to University, or maybe even finish high school. Even after doing well in High School you have no clue what to expect, and no reference points. The idea that even as a graduate you may be paid more than your parents combined is hard to get your head around for doing something you enjoy studying.
Having to do part time work to cover the costs your parent cannot doesn't help, but more than anything else there is the nagging doubt that you shouldn't be there and should go do manual labour and retail like your family was raised to do. You wonder when you will get caught and told to go back where you came from, so you tend to keep your head down and not make best use of the support systems the Uni already has in place for everybody.

You just got to be a stubborn bastard and keep at it, but any encouragement does go a long way since you just don't know how the system works.

It is built on predicate logic and algebra. Anybody who successfully learns to be a competent programmer knows a lot more maths than they realise, they just have not learnt it as a discrete topic that they are able to name the parts of. It is maths, unless you want to go old-old-school and lump it back into philosophy, then you can call it arts.

Totally, the smallpox mutated dinosaurs are going to be unstoppable.

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

fuck beta!

Can we get a shock collar for timothy, to encourage him to RTFA a bit closer before posting summaries :) Just a little shock... not too often...

But seriously, I was here at the start and I would like to have a reason to come back to /. It got taken off my start page and into a once a week catchup folder a few years ago. Can you take Taco out of cryo storage and reboot him? Mind you, the patch list would be a total bastard.
