Yes, it’s injection molded. A process of injecting molten plastic into a form to produce an object made out of one single piece of plastic.

Pretty much every large volume plastic thing is made that way.

Lots of things could be “monobloc”. Cutlery, flower pots, plastic army men, etc.

But a wheeliebin definitely is not one. There’s at least 4 parts to a wheelie bin. Body, lid, 2x wheels. Probably closer to 8, as you probably have 2x clips for the lid, an axle, and some form of axle retainer. Even more if you count the individual parts of the wheel and bearings.

Dig it. Dig it. Love cannot attach itself to binding ugliness.

Dig it. Dig it. Execute economic slave.

Ok maybe not the best lyrics for a dating app.

You’re not gonna convince me of your rule if you break it.

It’s hard to not see it.

There’s usually only one or two brands in each category that can be found elsewhere.

If it’s not a disguised “home brand” it’s an exclusivity deal, and if it’s not an exclusivity deal, it’s probably 50% or more, more expensive.

Coupled with the image, I read it as”outside after work drinks”.

“Okay. Everyone went inside?”

What features do dishwashers have?

Literally every one I’ve used has had racks, two to three spiny water sprayers, a water intake, and a detergent basket.

I’m not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, the “modes” of a dishwasher are dumb as shit. No I don’t want reduced water flow, reduced temperatures, and a worse outcome requiring manual intervention.

But what is there to break? Suck water in, pump it out, spray it at dishes.

maybe there’s the occasional weird model, like Samsungs wall sprayer. But you can’t buy them any more.

This is cool.

After watching Alex Steeles videos on anodizing Ti, I had an idea of using stencil style masks to make art.

A pen plotter seems much smarter.

This is the sort of thing machine learning algorithms are pretty good at at.

Coupled with however many millions of interactions a day, you would have no problem correlating changes to your algorithm against increases in revenue.

But. It’s often not that impressive. Humans are equally good at noticing patterns.

All it takes is for one person at FB to see their wife or daughter delete a post, ask them “why did you delete that post” and take away from the response of “It made me look fat” to go “there’s a new targeted ad that’ll get me a bonus”.

In a similar vein, 80% of your banks anti-fraud systems isn’t deep learning models that detect fraudulent behaviour. Instead it’s “if the user is based in Russia, add 80 points, and if the account is at a branch in 10km of Heinersdorf Berlin, add another 50…. We’re pretty sure a Russian scammer goes on holiday every 6 months and opens a bunch of accounts there, we just don’t know which ones”.

Piracy numbers are used as a metric to benchmark a shows popularity.

Plus, if you use any p2p platform to get it, you’re distributing the work too.

Why a second? Your first couldn’t have been any more than 5 years old.

In the UK, if a the registered owner is unable to name the driver, or unable to provide a satisfactory reason why they can’t, it’s a £1000 (~NZ$2000) fine.

I’m pretty sure some people might use company owned vehicles to get out of demerits, but it’s expensive.

More PE teachers.

We’ll have an entire industry of PE teachers, rostered nationally to ensure PE is taught, and genitala are inspected.

Becomes the death jingle when you follow through.

EVs are getting their own lines of tyres (supposedly) designed to handle the weight, torque and address range concerns.

I’ve got the ability to manipulate time and space.

It’s called a bus, and patience.

In NZ we can transfer fines to other people, why not demerits? Other countries handle it fine.

Don’t want demerits for when you’re not driving? Don’t let dickheads drive your car.

I’m not 100% caught up on NZ driving penalties.

But my understanding is you can only get demerits in person, from another person, at the time, on the side of the road.

This seems like a flaw. I can cope with a low-tier speeding fine easily. $30? Shit, that’s “don’t buy a coffee that month” territory. I can just not do that all year, if I get caught speeding by a camera every month it’s not great but it’s handleable.

Demerits? I’m not fucking with that shit. I can’t offset them with lifestyle changes. Too many of them and I’m up shits creek.

But you’re not getting demerits from fixed cameras or camera vans. Ie, all the speed cameras on motorways. You’ve got to be speeding enough to get pulled over. And if you do, it’s still up to the officers discretion.

Without the mandatory hours, why even have a restricted class?

What’s the difference between our law abiding citizen ‘NightShiftNate’ getting his restricted, waiting 12 months with no driving (because he only needs to drive at night), then applying for his full.

Or NightShiftNate just getting his full immediately after getting his restricted?

I’d argue the latter is better, as it gets him on the road straight after his training is fresh in his mind, and confidence is up.
