Not like it's a quick game where a few extras reviews would disrupt the flow. Every Out should be pending a quick review.
I'd be ok with 2 each but they did it for a reason

I like it, it introduces a new element of judgement to the game i.e. when to use your review. NZ wasted theirs.
If you think there's some dodgy decisions in this, try watching some club cricket."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

DRS factoids:
Only clearly incorrect decisions are reversed; if the Third Umpire's analysis is within established margins of error or is otherwise inconclusive, the on-field umpire's original call stands
Each team can initiate referrals until they reach the limit on unsuccessful reviews.[29] This limit is two unsuccessful review requests per innings during a Test match, and one unsuccessful review request per innings during a One Day International. From 2013 until September 2017, the number of reviews available for a team in a Test innings was topped-up to two after 80 overs. From October 2017, if the on-field decision remains unchanged because the DRS shows "umpire's call", the team will not lose its review"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Any of the gin connoisseurs on here dabble with Roku Gin (I'm thinking Tar may be the man due to the same company owning a Japanese whiskey company)
Tried it over in Mallorca and it was the most expensive gin in our hotel at 14.90 for it and a tonic.
I quite liked it but Mrs Lao Lao was very taken with it and in a semi drunken comment decided 'This is my new favourite gin, so you're going to be broke going forward' - I think that sentence adequately sums up married life in very simple terms.
I presume it can't be any/much more expensive than all the other premium gins we have? Haven't been arsed looking to see if it's available in Ireland yet.

floated the idea to GAB one time about a gin club, couldnt work out logistics about how we get a group of 7 or 8 to try same bottle every month, or go in other direction and have a snake like list and one person sends a bottle to next on the list. Probably too expensive to send bottles around the world, but amazon delivers most of them these days I guess.

I don’t think it’s actually as solvable as it appears tbh.
I’d really like to see the end of it. But I don’t know how to change the rules tondo so, safely.

Congress Party (I'm fully aware you'll never have heard of them but they have been the dominant party in India post-independence. Ghandhian).
Check out the 'ideology' section. Social democrat.
Not Communist.
You are literally making shit up. And when your entire 'argument' is dependent on that, it makes your argument shit too."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

It's about how much democratic rights slow down all decision making. It's such a slow system having to give everyone a say, and that's a real cost in poor countries.
Ireland was poor, now we're rich. By your logic every poor country should drink a load of Guinness. They'll be be rich in no time!
Also the question about which system is better is slightly more complicated than comparing GDP

In Hitchs defence, not every dictatorship has been unsuccessful for both the economy or the people.
Singapore has been a very successful first world country under Lee Kuan Yew and subsequently some of his family members who have ruled since.
They have incredibly low crime rates, very high standard of living and even hosted discussions between NK & US.
It's the exception and I don't know enough about India so I can't say if their democracy is smoke & mirrors but the type of benevolent dictatorship applied in Singapore has clearly succeeded.
