America has two authoritarian right-wing parties to pick from. One is less right wing than the other, but they're still both to the right of the major right wing party in my country (New Zealand)

Awww yeah, first time I got in first with the daily thread.

I don't have anything interesting to talk about but I like reading about everyone's days. I only have to do a half day of work today to hit my hours for the week, so that's nice. Gonna play more Baldurs Gate when I get home, such a good game.

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I live in the far north and they'd be better off increasing the heavy rail capacity to get all the fucking logging trucks off the road. Will fix some of the pothole problems too - they created that mess by increasing the weight limits on large vehicles under the last National government, now they get to winge about Labour not fixing it. Standard right wing strategy.

This but DotA 2 for me. 6000+ hours and I'm still trash.

🛠️ memes aside, I'm a software developer and I don't trust software-only systems with no fallback. Too many moving parts that can go wrong.

"Someone who doesn't want to be 100% a man or 100% a woman. Imagine gender wasn't a single choice, but a slider from 100% fem to 100% masc, and you could pick where it sat each day."

I'm missing stuff but that's how I would explain it to my nana.

I did it! Posting from the treadmill now 😅

Obviously!

I didn't put too much in my intro as I don't think I'm all that interesting and I didn't want people to think I was getting a big head. Short version of my relevant bio:

  • I'm a 15+ year veteran of the software dev industry
  • I run a small contracting company (a sub-5 person cooperative)

Hey everyone 👋

I put my hand up to give Ategon and snowe a hand with moderating this community. Looking forward to seeing the outcome from the community vote on what kind of content we want here.

Don't imagine you'll need to hear from me much but feel free to message me if something needs attention.

Had something like this and it was fine but in a late 90s house and in Wellington so the wind covered a lot of noise so YMMV.

On a windless day we could hear only hear the neighbours via the windows - out theirs and in ours. Nothing except a massive party would go through the firewall.

My cousin was taken off her mother because of the cola thing.
