It’s illegal to use your own here, only allowed to rent one from which ever company has the monopoly to rent them out in your area. Or can’t use them at all as there isn’t anyone renting them out in your area.
Of course because there is no legal option to use your own many just do it illegally.
I would be more accepting of escooter rentals if it wasn’t the only legal option to use an escooter in the UK. It’s fucking bullshit that they are essentially given a monopoly on renting a method of transport.
Yeah, I ride a bike a lot and escooters usually are treated the same as far as road laws go where they are allowed. Can’t think of when I have had to jump a kerb.
Then fuck with a few stored procedures. Swap the data in a few random rows each time it’s called. Scatter changes like that around.
Seems like it’s time to go for solar to have protecting from the grid…
Pretty sure not telling the nazi is still a lie. But an example of when it is ethical to lie.
Dumping databases is such a small brain move. That costs what, half a departments overtime for a few days? Nothing.
Deploying consistently poor quality code costs far more. That can double the size of the support department and keep them going for years. Costing far more to the organisation.
It cost you how many tokens to make that login page?!
My last job started pushing harder for stuff like this. Every week the CEO saying how we need to use these AI tools more and not enough people are doing it.
They even gave us bullshit tasks that were a complete waste of time and an AI tool to do it faster. You know what is more efficient? Not doing it at all!
Pretty sure I am having microsleeps by Monday afternoon
I normally see the cardboard covered in some kind of mulch to hold it down. Hopefully once my compost bin has started to be productive I will be able to use that at least which should help a bit.
If that happens I will be so excited that I will stand as a tripod waiting for the results.
Don’t have a lawnmower, but usually just below the surface layer of leaves they are already like confetti.
Previous owner used tarps and the weeds grew through. Plastic strands of tarps are all over my plot because of it and where the edges were fraying a lot.
That doesn’t seem to stop corporations assuming their software is still theirs even when an LLM wrote a lot of it.
Suppose it depends on how it comes, but wouldn’t it be pretty bulky to carry if you wanted to cover a large area?
Would dead leaves be any good? Could just take loads of those from the floor around trees in parks and fill the bags on my bike. About 70L between them. Still think it would take a while to cover an allotment though.
Also got a compost bin but while nearly full it’s going to be a while to rot down.
I think chip drop can be massive volumes though. I don’t have enough space for a huge drop. My allotment is off the path and the site would require someone being there to take the delivery to unlock the gate. Both make chipdrop impractical from what I can tell where they want a place that is available to dump any amount at any time.
Recently got an allotment. No dig or not seems to be a fairly big one right now. It sounds nice but I don’t have the same Amazon addiction as some people so I don’t have 100m² of cardboard that I can lay across the plot.
Buying a shitload of cardboard and mulch isn’t an expense I am interested in right now. Over time I do want to move towards more perennial and larger plants so there won’t be much digging required anyway other than when replacing something. Or tubers/bulbs that you have to dig to harvest and plant anyway.
Handouts shouldn’t even need to be required. Go to a 4 day work week. Maybe even 3 day.
Bring housing costs down and people can spend more of their wages on things that actually matter to the economy too.
Some jobs are never coming back. Sure, some companies may have been over zealous in making redundancies. But there are plenty of things existing AI tools have replaced.
It doesn’t have to do 100% of your job. If it does 20% of it cheaper than your wages then they can reduce your department by 25% and tell you to work harder because you should be thankful to still have a job.
Still waiting to see all these new jobs it creates. Last I heard stats for the UK it’s just reduced the number of jobs. If we were to successfully demand a reduced working week then it could end up ok. Currently they are taking all the benefits and we are seeing none of it.
I have a better backup system in place for my factorio saves. Script syncs the live copy to several places on the network along with compressing a timestamped copy to an external HDD which stores a bunch of copies. Then manually I might trim them down every few years or so as I don’t really need 3 different copies from March 2024 still.
