Right plant people, will putting pea mulch over wild flower seeds stop them germinating or is this a sensible (tm) thing to do?

purserj,
@purserj@aus.social avatar

@jonoabroad do you remember where you planted the seeds? If so you can make small holes in the mulch for the new growth

I will now commence cooking in the hotel room. The dish is pasta arrabiata with some roasted capsicum, artichoke and sundried tomatoes stirred through.

So I've been gifted an Oculus Rift S. I've already tried it with MS Flight Sim and oh my gods wow.

Anyone have any good recommendations for VR Sims or games?

@franksting this is of course assuming the thing would actually get built and not abandoned halfway through

"I'm not a DNS guy"

Dude, we're all DNS guys. That one isn't optional. DNS isn't a paediatric neurology specialty, it's a medicine degree.

@geordie it's not a degree it's the leaving certificate from high school

Colleague comes over with a portable hard drive that has photos on it.

Plugs it in. Nothing happens.

Slight panic as they are worried the disk has packed it in.

I try a couple of different USB ports. Nothing.

Look at the device closely.

It's a battery pack.

re last boost

Machine learning driven translations can be an amazing tool.

Going to get a bit shouty now

THEY ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR HUMAN BEINGS!

If you're going to use tools like AWS Translate then you sure as hell had better be putting an expert human approval in the process BEFORE that translation hits anywhere public.

If you don't and people get hurt then you should be sued into the ground

A question on Reddit was "what is someone who's been exposed as a fraud/insane who still has a massive following?" and I said Jordan Peterson and gave a bunch of reasons why he's one of the worst human beings to ever suck in breath that would've been better in someone else's lungs, and one guy replies "I'm curious, have you ever attended any of his lectures or watched them online?"

GOT ONE!

Oh for fucks sake.

RBA says unlikely to see real income growth until 2024 AND signal it might raise the interest rates again.

Because that trick always works.

It's Friday, which means that it's time once again for my Retro Game of the Week.

This one's based on a movie licence. Well... two of them. Also a comic book.

But shockingly... it's NOT trash!

And we wonder why men feel entitled when they do stuff like this at work with no consequences! Radio host claims comedian exposed himself: “Harmer, 68, claimed that one ongoing prank of Dunn’s was to expose his genitals to her while they were broadcasting live on-air.”

Absolute brain genius areas here

tl;dr: Academics use case studies from Google AGI in submission to parliament re Big 4 consultancy firms.

Case studies are completely made up and are probably libelous.

My watch is so desperate is just said " Great! You're active again"

I've been sitting here for an hour.

I stretched.

That's not active, is just not dead either.

Calm down.
