I love it, this is really exciting research.

I guess on one hand no one really debates generational trauma or abuse being perpetuated so it makes sense the reverse is also true.

I still find it encouraging though

I guess one of the central arguments (that we don't actually need to prepare for the worst case scenario) isn't wrong but we really don't know what to expect when this all goes to shit. Are they really hoping they can put their head in the sand doing the bare minimum and then go to the courts when it wasn't enough?

Personally, I've no confidence that we've accurately mapped the worst case scenario at all - I fear it'll be much worse than we imagine (but I'm that far from starting a suicide cult, so don't take my advice! )

Now look here... Is not meant to be actually thought about, just be impressed dammit!

Surely it's DNA from all cells??

Reading this post and peoples comments got me thinking about neuroplasticity. There's lots in life that nudges us towards neurodivergence - I'm fairly confident I'm diagnosable just from working in IT for decades. Back when I started and was more customer-facing, I was far better with people and could easily break down what's happening for laypeople.

Now that I've zoomed out and gotten far deeper technologically, I feel like I've adapted into the ASD / ADHD realm

Thanks for the explanation, that's really shit, unfortunately

I like this spin, well done

This is perfect. Really washes away the burn of the last round of 500, too

 

This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?

bandcamp

It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc

 

A sign for cyclists indicating to perform a hook turn with graffiti "abolish all forms of government"

Dunno why, it just seemed funny

 

I just skimmed through the leaflets and realized they got almost as many as lab/nat.

Who do they think they're fooling?

 

I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?

God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...

The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.

As. If.

 

With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...

Thoughts?

 

I've been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I've seen - this game is really deep!

I'm still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I've only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I'm not even sure how I did it!

I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they're completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might've been a mistake...

Are there some tips I'm missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I've rebought the same thing several times when I can't get it working!)

Cheers

 

So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.

If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?

And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?

Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?

I've hidden this 'cos it's a dupe and the other has more accurate conversation

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

 

I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.

I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.

Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse

My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)

 

So, I spent most of the day troubleshooting a website that drastically slows down when 'a browser looks at it funny'...

Usually it behaves fine - it's not the volume of requests, my teammates think it's something about the kind of requests. But they're struggling to get the logging properly configured.

I'm an EUC engineer (p.o.s. website requires IE11 and ActiveX controls - yay healthcare!), so mostly helping on the sidelines, but I'm looking for some 'supportive' suggestions...
