when I was in junior high I had a devastating crush on my gen x english teacher, who loved Toad the Wet Sprocket. so I bought and memorized every Toad the Wet Sprocket CD as a 14-year-old in 2005. became a Toad head. one of the lowest-return cultural investments I’ve ever made
Institutional drift seems so common that perhaps we should assume it's the default. Instead of taking institutions at their word when they point to their long and impressive histories, we should treat them as identical with what they've done in the past year.
it's not that the problem frequently arises it's that when it does my only option is to strap a flamethrower to a nonrobot dog and this just isn't reliable enough

I have worked in the public sector for around 12 years. My role is impacted by the staff reductions. I don't agree with the way it is happening in every agency. It's horrible for those impacted & I sympathise with them. I'm not a coalition voter. But I support the cuts. Why? -…

Boomer versus Gen Z employment discourse is super punishing but as a millennial I want to say one thing: IMHO neither side did anything wrong. That is, it seems reasonable both 1) to set tests for applicants and 2) for applicants to decline to do such tests. Both are AOK IMHO.

Frankly a touch worried that the "hell yeah rock on" public law vibes have completely disconnected from the doctrinal skeleton of "yeah read words in context and defer to the Crown on politics, courts on adjudication and Parliament on everything"

A complaint of a rat's foot being found in a bit of supermarket garlic bread got a lot of press. But the sold bread had been pre-cooked, and was cooked again at the house. The foot was uncooked. An obvious conclusion ought to have been drawn earlier. 1news.co.nz/2024/04/24/cas…

@StuartBDonovan When I did work on suburban hotels in Bris in the 80's the only stipulations were that they were removed from housing to prevent nuisance, and have massive parking lots.... what could go wrong?
The worst thing about NZs' arts community - and the James Wallace letters proved this - is how much they indulge sleazy old men. If Todd's one sin is not spending enough time around these people, as a voter, I can live with that.
I'm pretty concerned about the potential for misuse, especially in the longrun - the committee seems relatively unaccountable, will obviously never go away, and 10^26 flops may be present in personal computers eventually. I'd be less concerned if any AI models were actually good
So it appears that bars can't operate in suburban areas due to noise and they can't operate in central areas due to proximity to other bars CAN SOMEONE WHO IS GOOD AT PLANNING PLEASE HELP ME MY CITY IS DYING. AND BORING.

the craziest housing discourse I've seen on this app was two days ago when the same person described upzoning as both "colonialization" and "economic coercion". I'm still reeling. If someone offers to buy your property, then you can just ... choose not to accept it? True story.
The mind boggles ... I hope this was an error in some AI that produces these warnings, but suspect erroneous humans are to blame...
