I also don’t like getting them, but I’m also getting thinner on top and it looks worse if I let it grow out. Bad times.

This is a really good idea if you’re in a position to be putting any cash savings aside. In a perfect world everyone would have 3 months of expenses in cash savings, obviously that’s not always realistic, but if you combine that with an offset or revolving credit then you have the benefit of having that safety net while still saving the interest cost on that money. Our offset mortgage saves us about 100 bucks a week, a good chunk of that is just my provisional tax sitting aside waiting to pay the IRD.

Tech has an abundance of people who really need to be right in an argument. I’ve had this same argument with a developer at a client company of mine. Just couldn’t let it go when I said I was comfortable with the Jetbrains suite and used their language specific tooling instead of VSCode.

Same here but with WebStorm.

Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There’s a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can’t remember what it is.

I’ve seen tags used well in general communities, like country specific ones especially. /r/newzealand was strict about their post flair so that people could filter out politics or shitposts if they didn’t want to see it but still wanted to engage with the other content.

Yeah zwave tends to be standalone as the Zwave Alliance owns the rights to the protocol and they test everything for conformance, so it’s more expensive. I just don’t like sticking random iot stuff on my network.

I use a bunch of zwave gear so I got one of these https://activeautomation.co.nz/remotec-z-wave-to-ac-ir-extender-zxt-600

Yeah if the West Island wants to take on our superior culture then I say give them a chance.

I’ve used it to write marketing copy and emails, but always as a starting point rather than as a final product.

I can’t be evil in games aye. I feel too bad!

Yeah my wife is playing on a 1080ti plus a 2012 era intel cpu and it’s still fine in 1080p. Great game.

Awww yeah, first time I got in first with the daily thread.

I don’t have anything interesting to talk about but I like reading about everyone’s days. I only have to do a half day of work today to hit my hours for the week, so that’s nice. Gonna play more Baldurs Gate when I get home, such a good game.

USB-C and USB 3.1 comms can create a lot of RF noise which could manifest as lag. I saw this on a laptop with an external hard drive, when the backups were running the wifi died.

I just finished Tears of the Kingdom last week. No spoilers, the final boss fight felt like a dragon ball Z episode. The health bar busting out of its usual bounds and hitting the edge of the screen was a “shit just got real” moment for me and the kids, lots of hype. I didn’t think I would see anything top Breath of the Wild in this generation but glad to be wrong.

I live in the far north and they’d be better off increasing the heavy rail capacity to get all the fucking logging trucks off the road. Will fix some of the pothole problems too - they created that mess by increasing the weight limits on large vehicles under the last National government, now they get to winge about Labour not fixing it. Standard right wing strategy.

Mine was about 1/4 moss the last time I mowed it. Looks like about 1/2 now.

I’m old. I’ve been playing Dota2 as my primary game since 2012. It works out to about 500 hours a year or so, which is still a lot but yeah.
