Ever seen a #rabbit squeezing through a 10cm diameter pipe? Amazing how squishy they are! Featuring our 7 year old boy Jasper. #RabbitsOfMastodon #bunny

ProtonDrive isn't wonderful. To sync docs on Linus there is only a CLI interface. Now I'm never sure if my files are later on the laptop or desktop. Slowly working through the best way script this but I really, truly would expect them to already provide an example. I am a computer user […]

Good morning country where apparently it's more of a scandal for a political party to reach out to gangs and get them enrolled to vote in election season, than it is to have a literal convicted pedophile as party president. 🌅 #NZPol

It then went up to to 250 after I drove 13kms. However I have been driving very smoothly.

Photo of same car's dash. Range now shows 250 even though the car has been driven 13kms. Maybe its a perpetual motion machine?

Battery swapped, first powerup. The highest this car previously guessed was 120kms range

Every election should have a “none of the above” option and if that gets the most votes then they have to do the election again with new candidates

Busy day and now very tired. One Leaf off to the scrappie. One Leaf measured, inspected, supervised, approved and just waiting for the bureaucrats to tick a box for it to be considered officially fixed. One Leaf all lined up ready for its bigger battery. Tomorrow […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

Photo inside a workshop. Junk around perimeter. Center is rear of black Nissan Leaf with a pallet truck under it. Left is 40kWh battery. Right is forklift in a pile of absorbent sawdust. Also of note are 4 x 615mm tall axle stands. Did I mention that there's junk all around? Good. I'm working on reducing it...

Sad looking white Nissan Leaf with no headlights, grille or wheels & bumpers hanging off. It's on a trailer and is tied down through its open windows by yellow straps.

Forklifting... After I spent a short eternity a couple of months ago fixing its electronics my cheap old forklift was working OK. Up until today. Today it decided to spit a good couple of hundred milliliters of hydraulic oil out of its main lift piston. This went […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

Detail of main lift cylinder of my forklift showing piston in cylinder and scraper seal which is slightly blown out. I have sketched a handy red arrow pointing to the raised seal.

Here are four of my more notable observations from my weekly biodiversity run about Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ, yesterday. The steel blue ladybirds are back. These are Australians that have been spreading through the city over the past 6 years […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

My photo of a small, accurately named steel-blue ladybird walking along a stem.

A photo of an iridescent bronze beetle on a leaf. There are a few holes in the leaf from its feeding.

My photo of two kererū (NZ woodpigeons) up in a tree. They're big green birds with white breasts.

My photo of a young native mistletoe growing on a (lemonwood) tree branch. The lower left branch of the mistletoe has a couple of small fruit developing (the first time this plant has fruited).

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

While falling asleep to a podcast last night I was interrup by an ad. Not the usual Wise ad but one from ACT. It claimed crime was out of control under Labour but now the gangs have been put back in their place thanks to ACT's bold work. Do ads have to be factual and which authourity is […]
