@OAbendale @GodsLibtard @postbopgf Prices are varying a lot by location, but I filled up last week at 2.40/L, 6.30 USD/gal
I get about 10L/100km — 23.5 mpg, but thankfully don’t drive that much nowadays
English
@magicmad11 @GodsLibtard @postbopgf 7.90 USD. Per gallon.
Why would anyone in Australia own a car. Omg.
English
Installing 8-bit numerical displays on the petrol price counter in 2005 because there's no way unleaded would ever hit 256
🐟@mwupfront
oh my god bruh
English
@GodsLibtard @postbopgf I think 7-Eleven (which is pretty widespread nowadays in Australia) probably just has relatively unified international branding
English
@GodsLibtard @postbopgf The person who posted it is Australian
It’s in Australian cents per litre
Equivalent it’s 7.90 USD/gallon
English
@Crafting_ranger @cryeyesviolet_ There are mastering errors
The final chorus of Out Of The Woods TV has a persistent buzzing. Second verse of Shake It Off TV has a high-pitched clicking
Style TV is straight-up missing elements
The vault is well-produced, but the re-recordings were clearly rushed
English
@cryeyesviolet_ The TVs, especially 1989 really showcased how little fans know about production because from a mixing and mastering pov, 1989TV is wayyy better than the og. Any "difference" was an improvement from a technological pov
English
she literally sounds the same on 1989 tv y’all just want to be different
𝙎𝙚𝙩𝙝⸆⸉@t4n00kl1ng
i don’t understand what happened with 1989 tv bc i’m hearing her perform these songs live post release and she sounds identical to the og recordings and im just like ok
English
English
@cryeyesviolet_ @0nceifixme13 Production wise TV clears the original
English
@EducativeFunds @LLulman15306 Even prior to LLMs, it used corpus-based translation, which is effectively the precursor to LLMs
Corpus-based tends to work better than a direct dictionary approach because it tends to handle semantics better, but it can be biased by the corpus (e.g. gender stereotyping)
English
@LLulman15306 @skycolonthree By the way, Google Translate is also now powered by an llm
English
@amgarratt @perritodlplaya @VerdeSelvans They introduced this at some point during the Intel era
I have the late-2019 16-inch MacBook Pro and it has that same behaviour
The only time the trackpad doesn’t click is while it’s shutting down
It does have the T2 coprocessor, which could be the element doing it
English
@perritodlplaya @VerdeSelvans Ah - looks like Mac Silicon only - my pro is still Intel!
English
@DGF_97 @goatecpro This is more about Mac broadly
MacBook Neo specifically will probably depend on workload
The i9 in my MacBook benchmarks lower than the A18 Pro, so it’s not incapable
But if you’re doing things that are computationally demanding, the extra headroom on the M5 Air could be useful
English
@DGF_97 @goatecpro This was a few years ago, so I had an Intel Mac, and ran Windows in Parallels
A few years later I also had to run Ubuntu in a VM. My lecturer for that subject had an Apple Silicon MacBook and could run an Ubuntu VM on it for the required software, so that seems to be doable
English
I beg you, someone please reproduce that on a Windows laptop with 8 GB of RAM.

@kilianhekhuis @JohnThomasPhoto @taipan168 Wait, really?
They must mirror it in RHD models
The only European car I’ve actually driven was a Volkswagen, but it had the indicator stalk on the left
English
@magicmad11 @JohnThomasPhoto @taipan168 I have never seen a car in Europe that didn't have the indicators on the right-hand side.
English
OMG never had my mentions so full of seppos who:
1. Don't understand that in RHD countries you change gears with your left hand; or
2. Have never driven in a RHD country; or
3. Think that the pedals are also swapped in a RHD country.
taipan168@taipan168
Since 85-90% of the population is right handed, driving on the left with the steering wheel on the right makes most sense, since you are steering with your dominant hand. I will die on this hill.
English
@JohnThomasPhoto @taipan168 I think broadly a lot of (mainland) European and American brands have the indicator on the left, and those are places that broadly have LHD cars
Whereas cars from Japan (locally RHD) have it on the right
South Korea is an outlier (LHD local market, indicator on the right)
English
@JohnThomasPhoto @taipan168 Depends on the car (brand)
I drive a Hyundai, and it has the indicator stalk on the right of the steering wheel, same as my old Toyota. But I did some of my driving lessons in a Ford Fiesta, and I think it had the indicator on the left
English
@kananesgi @taipan168 My fine motor control in my left hand is not great. If I try to write with my left hand, it’s fully incomprehensible and looks like it was written by a 3 year-old
I can change gears with my left hand. It is not difficult. The movement is mostly in the upper arm and shoulder
English
And what exactly makes you think I can't or don't drive with my right hand on the wheel in my LHD vehicles? That's a hill you can die on if you like, but I don't think you will because no one's going to try to take it.
And if you want to get scientific about it, LHD became the norm because most people are right-handed, and automobiles had manual transmissions. Trying to move your hand in a precise manner to smoothly shift gears requires superior motor-control and, thus, the dominant hand is preferable.
Now, can you admit the actual reason you believe this idea? I bet you won't...

@titanicfemme @yfcherries We do the same thing in Australia (hourly or annual)
Not even all of our bills are monthly
Rent is paid weekly
English
@yfcherries cause you're from north america? dont be north-america centered and then you will have a conversation using other metrics.
bills are paid monthly. that why most parts of the world answers the monthly salary.
English
i’ve never had a conversation with someone about pay using a metric other than hourly pay or annual salary and i’m not sure how it makes more sense to use any other metric
Ivy⸆⸉@idkwahatimdoing
Genuinely why do Americans either say “oh i make 20$ an hour” or “i make 70$k a year” BITCH HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE IN A NORMAL HUMAN PAY PERIOD DPMO
English
@idkwahatimdoing We do the same thing in Australia, because hourly or yearly rates are usually what’s stated in our contract
Hourly or yearly is how the pay rates are defined
And everyone you speak to in the same country understands what those metrics mean
(Plus, rent here is weekly)
English
@discoursediary @EleanoraStats Might be hard to do in an official capacity (not sure if Australian documents allow fadas, for example), but a really good resource for it is gaois.ie/en/surnames
It’s a database of Irish-language surnames linked with the anglicised forms
English
this is the 2nd non-Irish person to "um actually" lecture me on the proper spelling of my own fucking surname
the surname on my birth certificate is Folan, which is the English spelling. In Irish, the name is O'Cualáin. It's the same fucking name I'm just embracing my Irish side
English
@MenneckeOtto @EleanoraStats My favourite is that because a bunch of them entirely by ear, you get a huge variation where there’s sounds mixing at word boundaries (not to mention the impacts of h-prothesis). The surnames with the root Aodh (Ó hAodha, Mac Aodha, Mac Aoidh) can anglicise a bunch of ways
English
@MenneckeOtto @EleanoraStats A bunch of surnames anglicise multiple ways
There’s a database at gaois.ie/en/surnames (though for what it’s worth, that database does suggest something different)
English
@AskFareeha @chioziii who is hearing Anran’s voice and thinking “straight”?
