In terms of continental plates, as I understand it, Zealandia straddles the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates, so if this map were split by major continental plates, New Zealand’s north and south islands would be split.
But I’m not a geologist.
If it were divided by continental tectonic plates, it would be welcome news for Southern Asia and most of the Middle East, but terrible news for New Zealand, Iceland, and the Caribbean.
A gold hat on a volleyball could replace the royalty at a fraction of the cost.
I’ve seen people dismiss this as purely praise for Slater (about whom I know nothing), but it’s very hard not to read these statements from the tweet:
Great pick by @realDonaldTrump.
He likes that Gail Slater was given a prominent role. Fair enough – the ping of Trump’s account seems pandering, but it’s not exactly a million-dollar donation to his inauguration.
10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.
Implies Republicans look to promote small businesses against tech monopolies. Demonstrably not the case.
People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.
Suggests the Trump Admin are the bastions against Silicon Valley giants. Completely laughable.
They didn’t make a turn into a crossing. It turned onto the tracks.
Just to be clear for others, it did so at a crossing. That’s still obviously not what it should have done and it’s no defence of the self-driving feature, but I read your comment as suggesting it had found its way onto train tracks by some other route.

@Vincent@feddit.nl was dead right in their comment here - you can escape out of the search by tapping Esc twice, at which point you’re back to the URL. Panic over!
Great news, thanks! And likewise, I’ll give it a chance. Ideally I’d be able to get to the URL from the omnibar with an extra click, to get the best of both worlds.
Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I’m after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.
I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it’s going to be really annoying. I’ll suspend judgment until I’ve tried it, I guess.
Funnily enough, Brontornis does now most frequently get placed in Anserimorphae alongside waterfowl, whereas it was previously most often thought to be a terror bird (though I should say there’s still plenty of debate). It’s thought to be heavier than any terror bird at possibly as much as 400kg - where the average horse apparently weighs 500kg.
Being extinct, I assume no one ever told it how to get to Sesame Street.
Funnily enough, “We’re we, here fuck, we’re shit, queer up” is a much more satisfying chant than “We’re here, we’re queer, we fuck shit up”. The rhyming works better.
First place goes to the chant from the annual mustache parade, though.
Is a human a type of ape? No.
“A reference community for data and sources,” if you can make sense of that. I’m not sure I can.

That will work for now - although in my experience the performance of newer OSs on older hardware is not great. Soon, however, new releases of macOS won’t support Intel processors. Tahoe, later this year, will supposedly be the last.
