I do not recommend eating them, though you're welcome to try.

Later to be extracted via the pier that was supposed to be for humanitarian aid. No way this precedent is going to backfire in the future. Geneva convention, schmeneva convention. /sarcasm Also worth noting that hostages and civilians would be alive and free with any of the ceasefire proposals both US and Israel have blocked. #freePalestine npub17p9zsde5arqh5wslxgrwah0a0nn6dy72lgjaukxpx4umeppww3esmfl2d3 Ika Makimaki Hey Oil companies, just a heads up: You listen to the Coalition of Corruption and come back to look for fossil fuels we can't afford to burn, and you are going to lose SO. MUCH. MONEY. You will also lose time, and resources. And then you'll be chased out, again. Ask OMV, Anadarko, Statoil, petrobras, chevron, etc. They've tried and failed. You are warned. #NZPol npub17p9zsde5arqh5wslxgrwah0a0nn6dy72lgjaukxpx4umeppww3esmfl2d3 Ika Makimaki So the day after one of the largest protests New Zealand has seen in the past decade, Minister of Corrupt.. er I mean, Oceans and Fisheries Shame Jones announces they are going ahead overturning the Oil and Gas exploration ban. Absolutely out of touch move from a government that will be lucky to even finish their first and only term in power. The people of Aotearoa were clear: We do NOT want more pointless destruction of the Taiao in the name of greed.
