As a kiwi, I'm sorry you guys only have a binary choice.
My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:
Harris- only good by comparison Won't make the major changes necessary not very funny
Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back
Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?
"I'm fine."
The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.
Find and participate in activities run by Reserve Bank of New Zealand
May as well participate since we are lucky enough to have a voice in this country
Whenever I hear things like this, I ask 'What's the problem they are actually trying to solve?'
Most of the time there is no problem, it's a solution looking for a problem. In this case, it seems like the only problem to solve is:
Today, New Zealanders still cannot make instant payments electronically to other people, unless they are both with the same bank."
I'm pretty sure that could be solved with a middle-man app instead of a 'digital currency.' Venmo exists in the US, something like that?
I'm sure we have had similar.. TradeMe has Ping which "Make payments safely with Ping. Pay or get paid instantly – using a credit or debit card, or Ping balance." .. so, yeah problem already solved, instant payments.
The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.
I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.
You're over-reacting. It's probably only death at worst. Most likely 40 years.

Pretty easy to find really...
Lutris can be pretty handy for many things..
I don't have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:
- I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn't work.
You'll be able to get better answers. I'm pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is 'find something open source that is not as good but works.'
There should be an app or something for this..
Good point.
Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations.
I don't recall entirely but I'm pretty sure it didn't know that. Also, I don't think you can 'torture' or 'imprison' computers.
She couldn’t trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines
So, death is justifiable then?
It's an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it's goal at any cost, so.. I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.
Hard question because I watch so much horror..

I love the passion for your can opener! I'll definitely take a look at your recommendation.
In return, here's a pepper grinder my ex-chef dad raves about that seems to be pretty tough:
!(OXO Good Grips Radial Grinder Pepper Mill, 0.385 lbs, White)[https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Lewis-Pepper/dp/B003L0OOQM/)]
Probably unconventional now, but one of those old can openers. Not the turning ones, the manual single-piece ones. Every can opener I have had dies after a year or two, but this one has been going strong for like.. 50+ years.
I... actually can't tell if you're taking the piss or if that's a real episode.
I have so many questions about the whales.
Terrible weather, bucketing rain, not too cold, low visibility in fog / low cloud. Close proximity to mountain bike park. Full day of sliding down trails, getting covered in mud. Absolutely miserable, wet and dirty all day, struggling to maintain traction up the hills, frequently sliding out. Evening spa / hot pools to relax the muscles with a beer.
That's heaven.
I have heard multiple times from different sources that building from git source instead of using tarballs invalidates this exploit, but I do not understand how. Is anyone able to explain that?
If malicious code is in the source, and therefore in the tarball, what's the difference?
Pretty sure you could count not freezing to death, having a space to keep your things safe, health, stability etc as a value output.
I'm not saying anyone should, just that they would have ample legal funding if they did...
Still haven't seen any prosecution for when they blocked the motorway either.
TL;DR
An Australian pharmacy will continue to send lower-cost diabetes equipment across the Tasman, despite a cease and desist from a medical manufacturer.
...
“This is $130 that my whānau, and many other whānau, could have in their pocket each month,” she told them.
...
manufacturer Medtronic had sent David Jones Pharmacy a letter threatening legal action if the company continued to supply Kiwi customers with the sensors.
...
The pharmacy was “not a legally authorised distributor of Medtronic diabetes products in New Zealand”
...
“We have chosen to ignore [the letter] as it was built upon unsubstantiated accusations,” Le said.
...
“It creates a massive inequity for families who don’t have the financial means to pay a weekly amount, and it’s also a contributing risk to longer term health outcomes.
“It's really expensive to keep them alive. By not funding [sensors] you are risking the lives of kids who don't have that layer of privilege.”

I fucking hate this bullshit. Hong Le is a hero.
Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman's house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc
So before conviction, when you're being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I'm wondering, what happens?
If you're found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?
This makes no freakin sense to me, and it's driving me bonkers. Censored for work purposes obv.

PING site.com (1.1.1.1)

What?? Ping, You JUST RESOLVED site.com, why can't you resolve it now??
Why does the addition of the protocol break DNS resolution?
It's CentOS 6.10, quite old..
/etc/nsswitch has:
hosts: files dns
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.
After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon
Installed, created config, and enabled service:
systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service
I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.
I'm sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.
Had someone contact me because a browser interface was 'down' and it was actually a cert issue. It surprised me that in an IT context, this person didn't have a basic understanding of SSL certs. They didn't even know how to add a cert exception.
It got me thinking, what basic ubiquitous things am I a dumbass about outside of IT?
Ive seen lots of 'fun facts' compilations, but it would be better to get a wide range of subject suggestions that I can spend 30 minutes each or less on, and become a more capable human.
Like what subjects would plumbers consider basic knowledge? Chemical interactions between cleaning products and PVC pipes?
What would an accountant or a landscaper consider to be so basic its shocking people can live their lives without knowing any of it?
For most areas of expertise, its difficult to know even what the basics are to start with.
A terrible stench in Lower Hutt is getting worse, prompting concerns ahead of the arrival of singers Ashanti and T-Pain for the Juicy Fest festival.
But what if they hit the brown note?
Any explanation on how this happens?

Footage showed the contractor drilling through a wall, but rather than put insulation into the wall via that drilled hole, he simply filled it back-up again.

The Day Before folded just days after its launch, but you can grab two much better survival games that keep on surviving for 33% off.

I have a file with content like this:
item({ ["attr"] = { ["size"] = "62091"; ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg"; ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z"; ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0"; ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg"; }; ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ"; ["with"] = "email@address"; ["when"] = 1701804697; ["name"] = "request"; });
I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?
Thanks!
A recent article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/301022706/prepare-to-find-another-70-a-week-to-get-by-in-2024-asb
says: ..if households decided the worst was over and started to feel more confident about spending, it could push up inflation
But I thought it was the opposite;
More spending means more demand means more supply, which means production costs go down (due to economies of scale)… so inflation goes down?
But saving means less spending, means less demand, means less income for business, means costs go up.. so inflation would rise?
The bank’s economists noted that because the figures were for an average household. Some would pay less but those with significant debt could end up paying notably more.
Alright guys, here's my game plan.
Start drinking.
Really, build that daily habit until you're spending at least $70 per week on alcohol.
Then just stop drinking next year.
Problem solved!
The Te Whau Pathway, is one step closer to becoming a reality after construction resumed today, on a section of the pathway in Te Atatū.
I realised this feeling is why I have such an issue avoiding caffeine, even more after starting on ritalin.
It's that, "I'm really starting to feel awake and capable now" feeling, sometimes a light tenseness in the back of the neck.
What is going on here, neuronically?
Also a time when I really crave nicotine. I'm trying to quit the nicotine so if I can understand this feeling, I can make a strategy to avoid it.
