Mega Thread The Questions Thread - Part III

[drd23]

I’ve seen one post on that topic in the For You section on my Twitter, but maybe that is because I’ve muted Elon

The weird discourse that seems to have made my algorithm is an argument on whether people should know what The Odyssey is/should have read it

Do you have any behaviours garnered and perfected during the Covid lockdowns which have become part of your daily life?

As an introvert lockdowns were right up my alley. But before at least I did go out fairly often. Since covid, apart from my overseas trips that I have done I rarely go out these days. But that just might be called getting older.

 

[Over The Post]

I think as Twitter shrinks into itself, smaller "issues" can swamp the algorithm.

Musk writes some half-baked weirdo racist bullshit and people start fishing for responses purely in order to make money off their blue tick account.

1. Have a AI write a script that takes in the feeds of accounts with high response rates.
2. Have the script process those in an AI, looking for the most likely veins to mine for reactions.
3. Have the AI write responses and post them.
4. Make 12c off of a post.
5. Repeat 100,000 times per month.

What’s the go on people charging their ev’s at someone’s house. Do you charge them for it or let it slide?

Presumably it would be an emergency or they wouldn't even ask in which case it's fine to help a friend out. If it's someone trying to scam free power they wouldn't be the kind of people I'd be friends with in the first place.

I have an EV and I would only ask to charge at someone's house if I was desperate. It's easy enough to find an EVIE station or similar to do a proper charge.

Got a tight arse family member from the wife’s side coming round and can almost guarantee he’ll ask.

Park your car and leave it charging while he is there. I don’t know how they work but can it be plugged in without it charging

Start talking about intermittent power outages you've been having lately and then kill the power to the house at an opportune moment.

If they are from more than 150km away then I could understand them asking. Any less than that and they could charge at home.

If they are staying multiple nights then maybe. It costs you $5, make them buy your dinner one night.

FTR I've never charged at someone else's house, it's easy enough to charge at home.

About 5 years ago a guy I worked with would drive his EV into work and charge it up.
He got told to stop it after a few times. Cheeky bugger.

Anyone noticed a recent change to Coke? Bought a couple of bottles over xmas and they taste watered down as ****.

The Algorithm.

I'm at a loss to understand it.

In the last 6 hours my twitter feed has become a huge race war primarily US and Canada vs India. I think it was triggered by Musk bemoaning the lack of engineering talent and being promptly ratioed by posts like "you mean the lack of engineering talent prepared to work 80-90 hour weeks for 9-5 wages" and "no white males can get an interview let alone a job"...

It's just gone haywire. Anybody any ideas? There were NONE of these posts yesterday or even earlier this morning.

Twitter has been cooked for a while now.

A lot of my feed is tweets from people I don't even follow.

Anyone use a smart watch for its ECG function? If so which watch do you use and would you recommend it?

I bought wifey a Withings Scan2 (I think that’s what it's called) she says the ecg function is good.

Thank you!
They’re one of the brands recommended by my cardiologist so I’m looking into them.

Does it do a continuous ecg or is it something you turn on when you want to use it?

 

[Billy ray]

Is new years eve and day the only two days a year the term ‘revellers’ is used ?

It continuously monitors heart rate but you have to turn the ecg on and off.

Got a text from Magistrates court of VIC. Quick google and it's a legit text. Obviously been given the incorrect number. Do I just ignore this ? (Never been to Victoria in my life)

You might need to contact them I had the council send debt collectors to my place because they had an address down wrong in their system.

 

[peternorth]

When you do stop saying happy new year to people?

I get a text from NAB whenever some campaigner called Illias has a credit card payment overdue. I called NAB to have my phone number removed from their account and they can't search their database off a phone number so wouldn't do anything about it.
