5·1 month agoLmao.
Using floats for nearly anything in a finance platform should be grounds for immediate dismissal.
1·1 month agoTrue. They’re not unique to EVs, but was a bit of a shock after a small hatchback and a van.
Biggest maintenance cost on our EV so far was a $1000 tyre after a puncture.
They’re so much more expensive than regular car tyres.
It’s the balls that get you.
B.b.b.b.but It allows anyone without artistic talent to learn use AI prompting to produce something that they could never create themselves (without practice).
We’ll ignore how this makes the “prompt artist” completely reliant on a handful of corporations.
Iirc, It was a national problem. Not just Tesco.
Nobody in the supply chain was being overly cautious about what their suppliers were providing them. Resulting in horse meat being found in loads of places.
18·2 months agoThe ban was specifically in the context of toys.
We banned toy magnets. Magnets for other purposes are still completely legal.

New Zealand seems to have an aversion to accountability.
The amount of places I’ve worked or people I’ve talked to whose employers throw money at consultants to act as a buffer when things go tits up is absurd (doubly so the amount that get fired when they’re not reporting back what the employer wants to hear).
But with that ingrained culture, surely it must create an opportunity? Be a middleman for projects. Be the person to cop the blame when budgets blow out.
As soon as the supply deal ends, Kapiti ice cream is going to be made from milk from everywhere but Kapiti.
And we’re still going to have it on our shelves, and we’re going to be charged a premium for Kapiti ice cream from Poland.
Put a crumpet in yer bum, pet.
Alternatively, it’s a queue of people.

But don’t worry. Orbital Prime is only $999 a year and includes unlimited deliveries and six return trips to land. (For now)
It might be more efficient per acre, but it’s less efficient per person-hour.
As the weight goes up, the stress on the skin goes up. But the skin doesn’t go any stronger.
So you need to feed, support (literally) and manage them round the clock to control their growth and stop them from splitting and allowing pests and bacteria inside.

2·3 months agoInoperable weapons are treated as though they’re operable in New Zealand if modifications could make them workable again. The pistols were judged by gun regulators to be potentially operable and were destroyed, New Zealand’s Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told AP in a statement Tuesday.
What we don’t know is how inoperable they were.
They could have been made as a monolithic display piece. But wouldn’t surprise me if they were fully working “ghost guns” with a few parts missing.
Piss off. I haven’t said shit about your Note.
I agree. Sandwiches are a member of “misery foods”. Especially cold ones.
Can they be good? Yes. But equally, there is usually a more appealing alternative available. Unless you’re in a place of misery.
Eg:
- a small airport.
- a hospital late at night.
- pret-a-manger
- rural train station

My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.
With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.
Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.
I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.
