Other when it first opened, and there was a popo sitting at the bottom in front of the speed trap; every time I’ve gone to Kapiti that steep downhill traffic has been going 110kmh.

On the uphill, nobody does (or ends up doing) 100 unless they’re EVs, motorcycles, ir anything else with torque.

Then the crops grow, and they’re all full of microscopic glass fibre. Then the foodstuffs are shipped to the world. Then the foods are eaten and the GF joins the microplastics in our bloodstream.

Not necessarily unsafe, but similar for vans too. With nothing in my RWD vans cargo bay it’s quite easy to break traction. Especially on cold tyres.

Yes, I think so.

• the gibberish audio,
• gate number “♾️”
• everything moves with a localised parallax effect
• the wallabies torso and tail is weird
• the gangway has weird ribs half way down it

“Antelopes are safe, We’re not going to eat you” says the “crocodiles for eating antelopes” party.

Fewer bombs, but more litter.

I bet there would be a carve out for anything particularly unsafe, like high voltage equipment or whatever.

Cue: the new Braun toothbrush, now with a 450v battery system for ultimate cleaning power.

Dig it. Dig it. Love cannot attach itself to binding ugliness.

It’s hard to not see it.

There’s usually only one or two brands in each category that can be found elsewhere.

If it’s not a disguised “home brand” it’s an exclusivity deal, and if it’s not an exclusivity deal, it’s probably 50% or more, more expensive.

This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

Why a second? Your first couldn’t have been any more than 5 years old.

In the UK, if a the registered owner is unable to name the driver, or unable to provide a satisfactory reason why they can’t, it’s a £1000 (~NZ$2000) fine.

I’m pretty sure some people might use company owned vehicles to get out of demerits, but it’s expensive.

More PE teachers.

We’ll have an entire industry of PE teachers, rostered nationally to ensure PE is taught, and genitala are inspected.

In NZ we can transfer fines to other people, why not demerits? Other countries handle it fine.

Don’t want demerits for when you’re not driving? Don’t let dickheads drive your car.

I’m not 100% caught up on NZ driving penalties.

But my understanding is you can only get demerits in person, from another person, at the time, on the side of the road.

This seems like a flaw. I can cope with a low-tier speeding fine easily. $30? Shit, that’s “don’t buy a coffee that month” territory. I can just not do that all year, if I get caught speeding by a camera every month it’s not great but it’s handleable.

Demerits? I’m not fucking with that shit. I can’t offset them with lifestyle changes. Too many of them and I’m up shits creek.

But you’re not getting demerits from fixed cameras or camera vans. Ie, all the speed cameras on motorways. You’ve got to be speeding enough to get pulled over. And if you do, it’s still up to the officers discretion.

Without the mandatory hours, why even have a restricted class?

What’s the difference between our law abiding citizen ‘NightShiftNate’ getting his restricted, waiting 12 months with no driving (because he only needs to drive at night), then applying for his full.

Or NightShiftNate just getting his full immediately after getting his restricted?

I’d argue the latter is better, as it gets him on the road straight after his training is fresh in his mind, and confidence is up.

VW can’t use the factories they have.
