@nprofile…gyq6 Stay away from iRobot. The way the charging contacts are designed means ours needs human assistance to start charging itself about 60% of the time after returning to base.
Our previous Xiaomi had no problem with that and also the fact it mapped from scratch every time meant it didn’t spend an hour fruitlessly searching for a way into a room that had the door closed, as the iRobot tends to do.

@nprofile…gyq6 True. Although in reality he dresses in a style deliberately echoing combat fatigues as a subtle reminder of who he represents.

@npub1zg9…nh26 Yeah same when we went to Pendulum. TBH I'd prefer tobacco smoke. Vape juice smells like someone jizzed on a box of donuts.

@npub1zg9…nh26 I lost mine when our son was about two. I was giving him and his friend horsey rides in the surf at the beach. We have two photos taken about 30s apart. It's on my hand in one, and gone in the other. Our son is now 17... one day I'll get a new ring...

"... no progress on climate change mitigation..."
Does turning around and walking the other way count as progress?

From today’s live blog on RNZ:
‘The ACT Party says it would allow builders to opt out of council building consents to improve the quality and cost of housing, if elected.’
Opting out of consents sounds like a *fantastic* way to ensure quality.

@npub1y0e…mm9n @npub1xkg…gph9 If you're buying things from places where it so dangerous to spend your money that you think crypto coins are a good idea, then "real money" isn't the problem. It's your choice of where to spend it.
So, well you already know the original version of the proverb about the fool and his money.

@npub1y0e…mm9n @npub1xkg…gph9 Although in some cases financial regulations can be a problem, the fact is that all these rules were developed over literally thousands of years to help detect and prevent both mistakes and fraud. Your "alternative financial system" with no regulations also by definition means no protections. Just look around: hackers stealing millions in other people's crypto coins is a day ending in Y.
A fool and the fake money he bought with real money are soon parted.

@npub1vyt…mgjn @npub182e…hqvp @npub1j8f…kpuz Nobody is suggesting writers don’t work hard or that they are not critical to the success of their industry - merely that the same can be said of other workers in other industries too, and that there is a discussion to be had.
Billionaires are *everyone’s* enemy, not just script writers.

I'm in 2 minds about this to be honest. On the one hand, I can see why they don't like that. On the other hand, my previous employers also made millions off my creative efforts after I left the company, but I don't expect them to keep paying me forever.
Perhaps the problem is that the model is broken and they just need to be paid a decent wage up front instead of a pittance plus expectation of perpetual income after.
