In NZ (and probably elsewhere) it is against the law to impede the flow of traffic. Specifically if travelling slower than the speed limit you need to pull over and let other people pass.

Its a fine of ~$150, but hardly enforced.


I found a setting in chrome the other day that allows you to simulate the 3 types mentioned in the article.

Seems like there is more variation in chromes filters than the ones shown in the article.

BTW they look the same to me too.

In chrome: console > rendering > emulate vision deficiencies


Easy to abuse someone who's dead.


More likely a search or wiki index.

Eg. Phil Collins isn't shown in favour of a cricketer from the early 20th century?

Sometimes things are imperfect, not racist.


Yeah, similarly Dorothea Jordan, 17th century actress, is ranked above John O'Shea, premiership footballer, or Thomas Francis Meagher, originator of the Irish flag, leader of the 1848 young irelanders rebellion against British rule, and later US general in the american civil war.

If you're going by contemporary sources, I'd expect O'Shea to be on top, if we're including historical sources, I'd expect Meagher to be on top, unless Dorothea has some significant fame elsewhere than her city of birth


I didn't mean to imply it was racist, the western world contains many races.


I don't see anything in your post dealing with race, so not sure what that poster is on about.


The word 'racist' didn't appear until your post. It's a shame we can't discuss obvious language bias without you becoming defensive about imagined sleights.


Favoring a Western lens or English language sources is racist, whether the word was used or not, insofar as it favors white people and the people white people care about. You might disagree with that definition, but it's not like the commenter above is the first person to use it that way.


> It's a shame we can't discuss obvious language bias without you becoming defensive about imagined sleights.

Just wait a few years, I feel like this nearly-satanic-panic level of sensitivity will pass. Maybe a decade or so.


Oh God I can't wait that long. It's so hard to make friends in North America right now.


IMHO the golden years for making friends are the school years, peaking in High School and College. After that it's a desert compared to that oasis.

That said there's a cheat I've heard of for the terminally lonely extravert: Clubs and Volunteering. I haven't tried either myself as I'm an introvert and near hermit happy with my three super-extravert friends that only need to hear from me a couple times a year.

Then there's the ultimate cheat, get married and have kids. Totally worth it, IMHO.


Check out ACMI in Fed Square. They have a section of the "story of the moving image" exhibition on the evolution of video games (https://www.acmi.net.au/story-of-the-moving-image/videogames...).

AFAIR it's not exactly "consoles in display cases" like at powerhouse, but they probably don't have the kit


But government backing is risk mitigation...


In Australia and New Zealand other-bank ATM withdrawal fees are $2. International withdrawals depend on where you are but 3% or $5 (whichever is larger) is common. This is additional to whatever forex rate they give you.

It's only recently that newer banks are removing these fees.

However, accounts are generally free.
