  • The Department of Conservation is very good at controlling rats, possums and stoats. It's harder to control cats (and dogs) because of irresponsible owners.

  • Conductor size is about current, not voltage, so I would expect 120V plugs to be bigger as they need to be rated yo 20A to be as useful as typical 240V/10A plugs.

    Australia/NZ style plugs are much smaller than (and IMO superior to) the UK plugs despite both being 240V/10A

  • Not even ACT are foolish enough to challenge the might of the feral wallaby population

  • The Maori brought pigs and had farms. The "noble savage" trope is racist.

  • But cats are smaller too which either makes it easier for the Kiwis or more like the Australia/emu situation.

  • That has to be a reason to not use an iThing, right?

  • Guinness 0% and you might be onto something. It is really good.

  • Have you ever made sounds by wobbling a board? It's like that but the magnet is better at wobbling the board precisely.

  • You shoot the dick in row 27 who took someone's window seat and made a scene about it then throw him to the bear.

    If that's not enough you start lining up the people who magically don't hear the boarding-by-rows instructions and the request to raise their seat so the person behind can eat.

  • Many Kiwis came home from other countries during COVID and this bump in people leaving is partly just returning to normal.

  • I don't think you understand.

    Not doing the activity that requires protective clothing is safer than doing the activity with protective clothing.

    For westerners motorcycle riding and leather jackets are luxuries so it seems the vegan solution would be to not ride and not buy leather.

  • Heh

  • For the western world motorbikes are largely a luxury. Don't do the luxury thing AND don't wear a dead animal seems like a reasonable position to take.

  • It's all hallucinations. Sometimes the hallucinations are close enough to reality to be useful. Sometimes they're close enough to be plausible while also being wrong. Sometimes they're fucking ridiculous.

    This "AI" technology is shit because it can't tell the difference.

  • This is a silly take. People are less likely to say no on the phone than they are to click no on a survey opt-in popup. And I am not even sure that Steam does a pop-up, users may have to go find the option to join the survey.

    So there absolutely is a sampling bias. How significant it is and how/if Valve attempt to control for it doesn't seem to be public information but it is definitely there.

  • My first reaction to reading that line was that Linux numbers are likely inflated by sampling bias.

  • I'm using tumbleweed and getting my NVIDIA card to work was some effort but only because I was an idiot and didn't run the SUSE update tool that would have fixed everything for me :-/

  • I think most people would be ok with "AI" that actually did something useful and perhaps wasn't an unsustainable resource hog. The problem is that the current thing called AI doesn't do anything useful.

  • It's ok to be ignorant. It's not so great to defend rather than remedy your ignorance.
