Analysis: Burning less coal to make electricity helped New Zealand achieve its biggest official annual drop in planet-heating gases since records started in 1990....
Thank you for that detail. I was aware that coal’s qualities differ from region to region (hence Huntly not burning NZ coal). But was ignorant of what regions’ qualities are.
In that context yeah, country or origin is an effective short-hand.
It is a five-minute-long video projection, which highlights the differences between te Tiriti in te reo Māori and Captain William Hobson’s 1840 English version.
Well, Te Papa could start by not perpetuating the myth of an original English treaty. There isn’t one, there are only drafted partials by Hobson and Busby.
The Treaty is only the Te Reo document written (translated from the partial drafts) overnight by Williams & son and its translation back to English.

The Landsraad has a sort of Mutually Assured Destruction pact. Any house that uses atomic weapons against another house would be immediately destroyed by all other houses. Paul uses atomics to breach the Shield Wall technically against a feature of the planet, not house Harkonnen, so there’s still political subtlety there.
Lasgun-shield interaction is indistinguishable from atomic weapons.
So deployment of this kind of weapon will ensure your own annihilation.
From memory, the lasgun-shield explosion is unpredictable and proportional to the size of the shield. So, a personal shield could produce a relatively small explosion, a house shield would produce a cataclysmic explosion.

So, Prometheus establishes Tyrell Corporation and Weyland-Yutani as competitors! Neat.
