Your replies have been so good, I'm bumping this whole thread.
Fucking A grade internet fight, lads - don't stop now!
No I love it - that's why we're here.
I learned something today and hope to gently explain it to my degenerating/conservative father (but let's not get into that kettle of fustercluck!)
If anyone else is struggling, this reasonably basic article helped me https://sciencenotes.org/genotype-vs-phenotype-definitions-and-examples/
Thanks for 'coming out' about it. Without doxing yourself too heavily, would you mind to share more about the industry in particular or measurement of these practises? Dip you know if it was common (and when was this?)
I know for sure that we can't trust companies to act in our best interests (if anything, its a hostile relationship), but I guess I'm curious about your inside perspective. Has that jaded you much at all?
Funny the fictions we contrive for ourselves in our own heads.
There's a real need to get ones world view/beliefs and the insecurities and inner critics in line in order to survive it seems.
That's my latest conclusion, anyway. Distraction and drinking haven't really helped. Shocking, I know...
John Deere more like!
edit Oh shit, I never saw that before... And conti tyres, too
I totally sympathise, but like goatse, I kinda have to try it for myself to see what all the fuss is about.
I made it my flat mates wallpaper once - that was NOT appreciated. I was a dick in my 20s, it seems
This is great and amazing. We are our own worst enemies with the absence of rigour we apply...
This is a great idea at first glance - I've certainly had a few usb sticks come apart on removal
Yeah, butt stuff with an audience was pretty weird.
They were all lovely though, so it was okay. Man, that'd be a weird job!
There's nothing wrong with over thinking a shitpost, right?
But that doesn't cover the round storage we call compact discs. It's just nonsensical
How does this line up against the paradox of tolerance, though?
I'm just thinking out loud here, but a watered down fascist-accepter is perhaps the lesser evil compared to one who's completely intolerant of possible fascism?
I'm honestly not trying to call you out or point the finger, and not interested in a big argument about it, but ... Actually, I'm probably over thinking it and you probably threw the comment out there on a whim?
Riding into work yesterday, somehow while upshifting my chain slipped off the smallest cog onto the frame and hopped off the jockey wheel in the derailleur - all very drastic, but it suggests to me the derailleur twisted?
Historically getting down out of the 9th or 10th gear would need 'a little extra thumb' past the shifters click, that now seems to be the case for the top few gears - but the rest of the 11 speed cluster works great still
Does this sound more like I've worn the cogs somehow or twisted / bent the derailleur?
If it was bent, I thought it would affect all shifting...
It's a shimano HG 11 speed with their reasonably recent chain that's supposed to be really long lasting (possibly intended for e bikes? Mines an old analog, mojo geometron)
I should really double check what the parts are (being a Muppet), and get a photo of the alignment, but I'd love to be able to something on my own before wheeling it into the LBS
The sector regulator has applied to the Gambling Commission to suspend SkyCity's operator's licence for alleged breaches of host responsibility rules.
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.
The plug has been pulled on a $500 million development at the former Air Force base at Shelly Bay.
With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...
Thoughts?
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...
