Re: Happy New Zealand!

Re: Happy New Zealand! Reply #26 – 2019-12-31, 15:39:44 Yeah, congrats NZ and Kiribati and the rest.Same as last new year, I am trying to find a live stream on YT that show the celebration fireworks in most places in turn. Right now I cannot decide if USA Today is better than NBC or not. Edit: The protesters in Hong Kong cleverly stole the spotlight holding the banner "Never Going Back".

Re: Happy New Zealand! Reply #27 – 2019-12-31, 21:37:30 They seem to share same limited feeds. It should be possible to do better. Anyway most of the world has entered 2020 already, and we haven't gotten to Europe yet (Russia and Turkey excepted). It struck me that the population growth in Africa will balance this out somewhat. The Americas will still be kind of a post scriptum, but at least there will be a significant number of people left when we get to Eurafrica. It would be an East Asian spike, a South Asian spike, but the biggest spike will be Eurafrica. Yay, us.
