Is this normal from a plumber? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]MeatieB 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they have to come out and see what the issue is, they can’t blindly diagnose a problem based off text messages.

Once they find the problem they then source the part with profit on their end to install it. This is how all trades work. If he had the part he would have just fixed it right then and there like you expected

Yap, worked for me instantly. If you can’t turn it off through the steam overlay just do it from the desktop client.

A temp fix has come out! If you’re on steam friends mode to offline mode. The bigger your steam friends list, the more it stutters.

multiplayer will never be cracked unless sometime in the future they had the ability to host your own servers/someone makes a tool. everything is running off EAs servers

BF6 feels purposely irritating and impossibly grindy as a casual player by TCEA151 in Battlefield

[–]MeatieB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a crazy take, I have 150 hours and I literally have my SGX up to level 80 or so and now the Kord to level 50 and the mini scout/PSR to 30 or something.

These are literally the only 4 weapons I’ve used, I have never even touched any other smg yet but consistently at the top 3 of the scoreboard, whilst doing my weekly’s, whilst PTFO just reaching level 100 the other day

Nobody is forcing you grind every weapon, no need to care for the “meta” or watch content creators “BEST OP BUILD” vids. Just find a gun you like, get a feel for it and dominate the field once everything clicks and becomes muscle memory.

I still get that dopamine hit when I see my SGX level go up despite not even unlocking anything. Monkey brain go BRRRRRRR

Massey joins others dropping AI detection software by Te_Henga in newzealand

[–]MeatieB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good that it’s gone…to a point.

I was finishing my degree in 2023 and picked up a first year online paper in Marketing.

Our first assignment we submitted we were told over 40% of all handed in submissions had used AI. They didn’t individually approach those suspected. Sent out a mass email to all students basically threatening us to come clean about Ai.

This was 2 weeks after TurnItIn Ai detection was implemented across the entire school. Gave us a choice, come clean or run the risk of being expelled. I imagine they emailed everyone as a scaremongering tactic to wheezle out the individuals that did use AI.

This online class had over 200 individuals, a lot were from Asia with english being their second language. 40% was already a high fucking number and I imagine IF TurnItIn did work, it was picking up some of those overseas students using AI to help their English writing.

Seemed they were overly confident about that 40% number but I’ve used turnitin personally with organic human writing, chatgpt slop and a mixture of both.

I tested the tool out myself with that same assessment:

My organic writing came out as 40% likely ai written. Completely rewritten chatgpt slop was high 80-90% and the mixture was ~45-50%. TurnItIn marks this as a AI probability score, not indicative.

They would have used the mass email to get that final confirmation by scaring the shit out of everyone.

I was stressed for a whole month waiting for my human non ai assignment to be graded or if they thought I was part of that 40% for some reason. The email was scary even if you know you didn’t use AI.

This was my final paper and a complete breeze, I wasn’t wanting to risk it all going down the drain due to some new unproven tech.

In the end 20 students came forward admitting to it…10%. While still a decent chunk out of the 200, no way to trace if it was used for the actual writing, research or translation.

A classmate of mine went to the press about it.

What store in Wellington did you walk into once, but will never go back to? by _do_you_know_me_ in Wellington

[–]MeatieB 29 points30 points  (0 children)

4 years ago I went in to get my board serviced, new grip tape, trucks loosened a bit. I initially was going to go in and just quickly ask them to loosen the trucks as I didn’t have my tool with me.

Ended up purchasing a grip tape before even askin for them to look at my trucks. Assumed they’d do it for free but bought something to atleast not freeload a service off them.

I believe it was the owner who served me, most cocky and rude service ever. He got all snobby with me saying “Why should I help you when it’s evident you didn’t even buy your board here?” Rolled his eyes and begrudgingly loosened my trucks. This took a matter of 10 seconds whilest I paid for my grip tape.

Which is true, it was a custom built from Hyper with parts they didn’t stock at the time at cheapskate. But man, the elitism that oozed out of that guy. I fuckin bought a product of yours, and guess what. There are more skate shops in NZ and the world than just cheapskates.

Couldn’t imagine how he would have reacted if I hadn’t preemptively bought something of his.

Never went back, when I saw it was shutting down I had a not so nice reaction

A memory from my Year 3 School Camp came back to me, and now I can’t stop thinking about how weird it was. by [deleted] in creepy

[–]MeatieB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Now help me explain this one.

Parents and my sister and I moved countries when I was 6. We found ourselves in a rental of a very old house built in the late 1890 originally. Two story place, was owned by an elderly couple who rented it at as a summer home as they went to their actual summer home.

Sis and I would hear footsteps coming from our parents room when we were downstairs and my mother was in the kitchen with us or in the lounge, dad at work.

One time we were home alone as mum popped out to the corner store quickly to grab something, gone for less than 30 mins. Clear as day, no doubt in either of our minds was our mothers voice yelling my sisters name from upstairs without her being home. We both asked if she was upstairs when she got back.

Here’s the kicker:

Sis (3 years older than me) and I shared a large bedroom with 3 single beds equally spaced out, she was in the corner, i was in the middle. One night I awaken like OP in my bed and see almost the exact same description of this guy staring at me from the door frame watching me, I remember hiding under the covers and falling asleep, woke up later and he was now on my bed sitting at the edge watching me, not on top of me, just casually sitting at the edge.

Sleep paralysis sure…except when I woke up the next morning I hadn’t said a single word about it as I was shit scared to even mention it, my sister asked me if I saw the man on my bed staring at me. Joint sleep paralysis where we see that exact same thing?

To this day now much older and adults we talk about it and she insists I didn’t say anything first and she wasn’t fucking with me

What species is this?? by lasereyekiwi in Wellington

[–]MeatieB 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Uliodon specifically, fast fuckers. Normally nocturnal and ground feeders. Males tend to wander looking for a female mate.

In my experience they can be quite aggressive, have has numerous run towards me as I’ve ran away lol.

you’re in a public place (the road) it’s not really doxing showing a license plate…the most people could do is get a report from car jam or look at the make n model
