Is it because they keep replacing trains with busses?

I love that my entire bluesky feed right now is InternetNZ AGM shenanigans. Well done, team. Ya'll turned up for NZ 🫶

Aha, so linkedIn was telling the truth! Happy birthday @chrisjrn.fyi 🎂

Thank you for everything you do within and beyond the Python and tech community!

Lmao, what are these default, generated Docker container names

From now on, I'm pronouncing NuGet as 'Noojay'

Oh no. All the poor Australian visitors disboarding the first international flight to arrive in Dunedin in 5 years and getting ambushed by TV cameras, an army orange shirt wearing staff and volunteers, and a wall of the palest white kapa haka group to ever exist - who were, to be fair, pretty good.

This!

Polling data from Harris & Associates 1966. Q: Do you approve of what Freedom Riders are Doing? 22% approve 61%disapprove18%no opinion.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

My vote next election goes to literally whoever will bring in a CGT. Single issue voter.

Please, won't someone think of the housing market with bits of an economy bolted on.

Lol. Westpac Australia advertising to Kiwis now.

The inverse relationship between a persons hype for what LLMs can do and their understanding of what LLMs can't do.

Is there a name for this yet?

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

It's giving extreme Skinner vibes.

My New Cybertruck Got Me Flipped Off 7 Times In One Day, 'I Felt I Needed To Go Home And Hide My Truck From The Insanity Around Me' Is this the most hated vehicle on the road? One Cybertruck owner's firsthand account of intense Cybertruck road rage will make you question the current state of the world.

It blows my mind that its to be that ignorant, or maybe it's just lolbait. 🤷 Gave me a laugh.

😂😂😂 No words. Someone with too much money and not enough sense buys an overpriced - extremely well documented turd of a car from a billionaire oligarch who just spent the last 4 months shitting the nations collective pants and can't understand why people aren't lining up to pat him in the back.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

"Weather not as nice" was an understatement. As it turns out I landed into a state of emergency lol

I rate this hike. This and the Adventure park hikes are my go to "get out there and do something" local trails. Hmu if you want extra company on them one of these days.

I'm still in covid isolation. I need someone to bring me this.
