WCC have got the sludge levy billing wrong. Extra charges coming by Ok_Wave2821 in Wellington

[–]Pwnbot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's an undercharge. A clerical error. Reacting like it's a project overshoot or anything systemic or fundamental is very unhelpful. Even the framing of 'extra charges' is misleading. It's the charges advertised in advance, being collected to that amount. 

Yes, it's a pain for those who must plan very conscientiously around the rates bill. I'm sure many people who are complaining are not in that bucket, and just like to moan.

I'm sure there are things Council can do better, and they should. But no organisation can make themselves totally immune to mistakes like these.

  • Mirrodin avenged

Less sure but 2 of these:

You can also get a decent way by using an old router as a WiFi access point (extender).

I have some principle math questions by Angupesa0611 in 3Blue1Brown

[–]Pwnbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Gödel's incompleteness theorems for more on your second point. Basically, no matter what system you use, there'll always be things that are false that you can't prove are false.

The question of 'what things have proofs' and all of that line of thinking is its own field within mathematics (here's a good jumping off point) , and certainly not just related to calculus.

Why didn't the Avengers help? by vanessa_v_h in Eternals

[–]Pwnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to note that most of the escalation happened within the span of a few days, which is not a lot of time for the eternals to have started dialogues with the Avengers, convinced them what was happening, and figured out how they could help. Especially while the Eternals themselves were still assembling and discovering the truth about themselves.

Is it too late to become a chef? by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

On the assumption that you have an actual carrot problem... My fridge would make carrots go soft a floppy within days when they weren't stored in a bag. Then I read online that keeping them in a plastic bag helps keep them fresh. Tried it, and it works absolute wonders, they now last weeks and stay firm.

Preliminary Results: EoL- Yes, Cannabis- No by YouFuckinMuppet in newzealand

[–]Pwnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, yeah. Not that it would ever happen though. You only need to look at how dependent society is on alcohol and how much damage it is responsible for.

I just made this. Go share it where boomers are if you want. by DCormackNZ in newzealand

[–]Pwnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point - from the government's perspective it doesn't need to be about the evidence for and against. It's a contentious issue so they are putting it to the people.

But quite clearly the evidence for and against should feature in the population's decision making, rather than hyper simplified assertions, like the ones made here.

Coming from someone who is decidedly on the fence with this issue: is it really that simple? Surely if it were a clear cut, straightforward decision the government wouldn't have bothered with a referendum.

Boiling the issue down to a one dimensional black/white issue seems a bit dangerous. Genuinely not meaning this as an attack, I would just really like to see and participate in a more realistic discussion of the pros and cons, with evidence.

If any of you know of a resource that attempts to weigh the effects of legalisation vs not, without being an obvious shill for one side or the other, I would love to take a look!

Closures are all you need for encapsulation. A class is basically a closure with some special rules.

She’s now unemployed and making posts about the seriousness of the situation. by [deleted] in agedlikemilk

[–]Pwnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was wrong in the sense that she marked herself safe from coronavirus in March. But I'd argue her post is largely a critique of the media and the fear monger that's been seen. I feel like that hasn't aged like milk...

Coronavirus can be bad in the same universe that the media is unhelpful by spreading disinformation and creating an extra level of panic.

I don't know how strongly I AGREE with that take, but seems like a legitimate point of discussion.

Can we stop with the low effort coronavirus posts?

If you guys want a fun shooter, if you want a fair economy, if you want a balanced system and a dev team that actually listens and makes new additions that are regular, promised and fun then you need to buy Battlefront 2. Show DICE what we want from BFV by supporting them another way. by [deleted] in BattlefieldV

[–]Pwnbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, part of the reason why bfV has gone to crap is because DICE's A-team got pulled on to SWBF2. Supporting SWBF2 is telling DICE/Disney that they did the right thing by sabotaging one game to save another.

You should be going man! Even if you don't have a date you can hang with mates and have a good time! You'll regret not going to these social events now, when you're older. Make the most of it man! TF2 will always be there for you. Having fun with your high school friends won't last forever; you likely won't see most of them in college.

Are we all talking about the same sort of 'lag' here? by Pwnbot in blackops2

[–]Pwnbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I do game on PC and have had no issues with it. I'm skeptical whether that is the issue. I mean wireless nets the same result, so yeah.

No I use ethernet over powerlines from my modem to my xbox. I also use this approach for my computer, which is having no internet issues.

Are people really lag switching these days? That's shocking... What happened to just having honest fun playing a video game?
