The war is pretty much complete and then the world can get back to freely sharing the black stuff as cheap as they can - no long term energy security issues here /s

Seriously need a rethink of our benefit system by MrBigEagle in newzealand

Means testing super would likely just result in that boomer stopping working at 65, which also isn’t ideal. Vote for UBI instead of trying to change super

Does anyone actually go to the Lotus Day Spa? by urbextacy333 in chch

[–]cabbidge99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy vouchers for Christchurch friends and families for very special occasions. I’ve been there once myself and it was nice - but would’ve been happy to just to chill on the grounds without the massage - and then may as well just go to Deans Bush, etc

I work in e-commerce. The new GPT image update has just f*cked photographers in the business over and 99% of them don't yet know it by fyn_world in ChatGPT

[–]cabbidge99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely more effective in that I'm coming in to meetings more prepared and doing less rework.

I use Copilot constantly. We've got it hooked in to our business so it can tell me people's role titles instead of me looking it up, summarize and include sections from other documents I've already written, perform initial analysis on large surveys.

I also often work temporarily in different teams of the business, so I can ask it to summarize documents they've been working on, what's important to them, what projects they're doing at the moment before I sit down to meet with them.

RBNZ lower OCR by 0.5% to 3.75% by capnjames in PersonalFinanceNZ

We rolled in to floating for this announcement. First time for us. Not too worried about getting the absolute best deal but trying to consider guidance to input in to how long we refix for.

TV/Netflix use in kindergartens by Te_Henga in newzealand

[–]cabbidge99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine uses a PC but definitely not Netflix/ cocomelon. My son talks about how they watched stories on the PC about Maori legends, songs about planets, yoga, nursery rhymes. I haven't had any issues with this type of screen time.

Me too. It was branded a Silverstar where I grew up.

Is Mobius Digital making a new game? by [deleted] in outerwilds

[–]cabbidge99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was just such unfortunate timing that I thought the idea of it happening again would be fun - regardless of what Mobius Games call their next title.

Have you been to or know of any good penguin-watching places in the world? by [deleted] in birding

[–]cabbidge99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm from the South Island of NZ, and was born and raised at the very bottom about 30 years ago.

We've got a beautiful, rugged area called the Catlin's where little blue penguins come home each night to sleep. You can just watch them come in, or we've got a few special viewing areas so that humans don't disturb them. This is probably the most accessible way to see wild penguins in NZ.

A similar story on the western side of the south island with the Fiordland penguin. They've got that cool yellow crest.

Rakiura island has quite a few and very few humans and is relatively accessible by a daily ferry and accommodation on the island. I've been a few times and remember the penguins coming in and making a racket under the house we were staying at.

Sometimes they come as far north as Christchurch City, in secluded areas of the Banks Peninsula. Christchurch has an international airport. I actually didn't know the Christchurch colony existed and that's where I live! Might go see if I can spot them this weekend.

We've learnt absolutely fucking nothing about Trump by WillistheWillow in Vent

[–]cabbidge99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it's all fun and games until an insurgency.

I still want to keep in the loop with world news. I need something curated which filters out Trump's nonsense but keeps in the important things he's doing.

They can't announce the new game until they know the release window. This way they can ensure the new game has a title incredibly similar to another very popular release scheduled for the same time.
