🎢 🎀 I had my first big drill job
Dug it deep and felt alive
Worked the shaft till my hands went numb
Was the summer of tunneling in '69 🎢

Please remove this from the internet. Like honestly, we don't need this, and by making and sharing AI videos you're killing the planet. I feel physically ill.

Watch: Winston Peters refuses to wear high-viz in tense exchange with rail boss The Minister for Rail had a tense exchange with the CEO of Auckland’s City Rail Link over a request to wear a high-viz vest during a site visit and test train ride. He eventually put it on, but only a...

As someone who works with choo choo trains, Winny is being a silly sausage. When working in a rail and construction environment you gotta follow them safety rules.

Just be glad they didn't make you put on a hard hat with chin strap, my man.

Office of the Privacy Commissioner | Biometric Processing Privacy Code 2025

And one last thought: NZ privacy commissioner has released guidelines about biometrics and my read is Auror will be hard pressed to adhere to the 13 rules.

Curbing creepiness – This is not a grift

Been writing about Auror and surveillance for a while and do not like what they’re doing. Zero stars.

Me too, but if someone were to send me a packet (or even better a pallet) I would have to button up the ol lab coat, fire up the ol Bunsen Burner, and do some gosh darn science.

I am the Oppenheimer of cookies.

We tried that in our alpha testing phase and the drones which carried the 180kg mechanical arms kept on running out of battery and dropping on innocent civilians like anvils in a Loony Tunes show, except with significantly more legal liability than Wile E Coyote or Acme Corporation ever faced.

Look, if you want to send me some I’ll build up that data set. Unfortunately, I live in a land devoid of biscuit culture because they invented Tim Tams β€” which everyone knows are inferior to ChitChats β€” and just gave up.

Pains me to have to say this, but after conducting a very scientific test and consuming an entire packet in less than 1.5 hours I can conclusively say Squiggles are not as good as they used to be.

Also, if only there was some kind of transportation that was public so folks didn’t have to rely on individual cars so much.

"ginger group" is a term, means a sort of informal group. I don't think the term is appropriate to the FSU and can think of other terms like "bunch of knobs".

Haven't had time to digest the Privacy Commissioner's report yet, but the summary seems to suggest they done good on the code which you can read here:
