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 don’t want to defend England’s housing building, but the Y axis not starting at 0 is visually misleading. Here’s a very rough correction:

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.

You were right the first time - they’re CRISPR-edited gray wolves engineered to exhibit the physical traits they found in dire wolf DNA.

There’s an 80-gene difference between dire wolves and gray wolves, and they’ve modified 14 of what they felt to be the most variant differences.

It’s still fascinating and tremendously difficult, and probably the best we can hope for in a very long time, but I don’t feel Colossal are being totally honest in their presentation.

The EFF have a bit more general information about location data brokers. Well worth a read.
