I was wondering if any NSW historians (or historians of NSW) could help me. I'm currently working with electoral rolls from 1930-1934 which divide electors up by 'Subdivisions'. I'm trying to figure out if these are the same as the Local Government Areas used in the 1933 Census. Thanks! 🗃️ #history

Questions you can answer

Those who self-host their Fediverse server: any downsides/issues I should be aware of? I'm debating moving to a GoToSocial instance. As far as I can tell, I'll be able to move all followers and whatnot with an acceptable loss, but I'm guessing there's more to it than that
Bay Area peeps: I’m looking through my sample ballot and want to know your opinions! What are your thoughts on the Regional Transit Measure (RTM)? I feel like two opposing things are true…🧵
I love it when actors play against type and show that they are not one-trick ponies. Which actors have surprised you when they took a role that is different to what they are generally known for? #film #films #movies #Cinema #QuestionOfTheWeek #filmfilepod
any AI-positive UI/UX designers nearby? Please chime in #ui #ux #ai #aiagents
So we've had years of AI coding, billions spent in terms of money and man/computing hours, are there any genuinely great AI coded aps yet? Not pre-existing projects now with AI and new bugs, not AI driven retro game ports built on other people's code for other systems that are completely unoptimised and likely never will be, I mean new thing completely from scratch built by AI that people view as a shining example of what it can do.
If I am old and I miss adobe/macro media fireworks for interaction design prototyping, what should I be using today?
The vibecoded Red Alert 2 recomp doesn't show a cursor or seemingly register my mouse clicks on the main menu. Whatever. I'm really interested in trying out that completely modular controller, the Beitong Pangu. Unfortunately, the only controller with rear paddles that ReWASD supports for remapping is the Xbox Elite Series 2...and my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller hasn't been able to hold a charge for several years now. I'd love to get it repaired.

I've never done ANYTHING competitively, games or otherwise. Thus, I don't really understand those controllers with 8,000 hertz polling rates and similar. On that note, will I have a better experience using a mouse with a high polling rate on a high refresh rate display? I'm using my Logitech MX Master 3 on my online PC, but given the out-of-support (on Windows) GPU that I have, my monitors are only running at 60 hertz right now. Still, given how I like many types of consumer electronics...and that the controller stick modules kinda look like mechanical keyboard switches, I find competitive controllers to at least, be a little bit interesting. I saw a YouTube video in my subscriptions comparing the latency wireless dongles across MayFlash, Brook, Gulikit, 8BitDo adapters, and similar. A DualSense Bridge on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W was also featured in that video.
Question for #btshelp - at one point in a FESTA document, Hoseok described the maknae line as his pillows and blanket (I think). Does anyone remember which FESTA this was and can point me to it?
#WordWeavers October 8th Which character is most likely to make a terrible decision for a very good reason? In the current WIP? Rosa since she hates segregation, and as her namesake she will stand up against it. In all of my works? Dr. Robert Green. He got to university without blessing of his tribe to study the whites because "one must understand the enemy to conquer them." Of course his tribe never abandoned him, but some members still hold a grudge on his decision.
Writers of Bluesky! What is the single biggest roadblock in your current WIP right now? Plot hole, stubborn scene, or pure word-count fatigue, drop your draft struggles below or send a DM. I want to hear about it! #WritingCommunity #WIP #WriterLife #AuthorsOfBluesky #AmWriting
Does anyone have any tips on how to make traced line art out of a BUNCH of video frames without an iPad and stylus?

Anyone know who designed the JT-731 Broadhorn? I'm making a solo video on it and always like to mention who made the ships in those, but can't seem to find anything about this one. I would assume Doug Chiang, Benjamin Last, or *maybe* Brian Lee, but I'd rather know than assume.
Anyone have a makeup for absolute beginners tutorial they'd like to recommend?
Is a trail cam worth it for a backyard? I've seen the same bobcat twice carrying its lunch and a coyote with half a tail multiple times. Neighbors have been spotting black bears.
I should make a #Metaljouney like @derthomas did. But I'm not sure with which band I should start. Please some recommendations :) #metal
Do “24 hour” pharmacies actually exist in the UK? All of the ones listed near me either (a) don’t exist, as in: appear to be a Google Maps data error, or (b) are in 24-hour Asda stores, but close at 8pm.
Does this count as manifesting? Within a few days of posting this, while I was still reviewing the suggestions from you lovely people, the app I was using updated with a complete overhaul. Now it works! Thank you all for your help! #Meds #MedicineReminder #Apps #Medicine
okay genuinely what is happening I’m having to follow ppl I SWEAR I already followed back days ago. am I actually going crazy? has this happened to anyone else before? :/
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a work environment when people said “out of pocket” when they were working off aite. Does is still mean “getting paid to day drink?”
Who can give me a URL to a quiz so I can learn what kind of potato I am?
Is anyone of you at least working on some interesting or novel tech project? Or did literally (almost) everyone just stop? (Hobbies included) Still kinda shocked that there was not a single project on upwork for something of that kind. #it #tech #projects
hey is there a version of yimbyism where municipalities just build housing instead of giving tax breaks to developers and landlords? #yimby #nimby #housing
We know the rare 20th Century Fox Archives logo? The one was a still graphic (drawn) render. What if it was an on-screen logo by Flip Your Lid, then Blue-Sky Studios, and later Picturemill in 20th Century Fox Archives to either 20th Century Studios Archives or 20th Century Archives? What would YOU pick? Crafted on ChatGPT & Gemini.
People who feel they actually save time by coding with AI: what are you actually making? Every time I'm convinced to dip my toe in this environment, it can't solve any problems of a mildly esoteric nature - that is, anything I might need help with.
would free credits change your stack? i'd still want the paid bill to make sense. anthropic's new startup offer includes $1,000 in api credits for approved companies. that's room to test a small product, though i'd price the same workload without the subsidy before getting attached. would you experiment or fund what already works?

May I ask: have any of you played with the deepseek harness? I’ve heard that it’s pretty good, I tried it one time and it seemed to be pretty accessible although I should probably try it again. What was cool was when I pressed the tab key it would give me a lot of verbose information about what I was highlighted on which I personally liked. Like it even told me how many tokens a turn used and stuff like what the heck?
I need a 25 foot DisplayPort cable for reasons. Does anyone here have experience with a cable that long? Any recommendations? 
#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 7 Does your editing process tend towards addition or reduction? Both. The first rounds are always addition as my early drafts are incomplete, like scaffolding or a line drawing. I add details which bring the story to life. Later go throughs are about trimming excess words or duplications, revising to make things clearer, etc
WANTED. ALIVE. if you know these people please introduce me to one or more of them? I would like to write a song about them. WANTED ALIVE.
by Paul Lehr couldn't find a title. I think this has a spooky feel? Maybe it has the same sort of aesthetic as a sort of 60s - 70s science fiction that scared me when I was a kid. It's dark and there are evil-looking implements being used and idk I don't get a definite good guy sense from this character - that could be the cape and helmet of an evil alien villain. Weird energies flying around that don't seem normal, and maybe a vision of hell behind them. I'm spooked! 🤣 #art #scifiArt #evilVillain #probe #helmet #hellscape #space #spooky
New author on this blue app and already wondering if I’m doing this right. Am I supposed to post about my book? Talk about writing? Share random thoughts at 2 a.m.? Writers who have been here for a while… what actually works on Threads? I’m taking notes.
Given an either/or situation, who would you vote for?

Do scenes from musicals count as music videos? 🤔
long shot, any lawyers in the fandom knowledgeable in US trademark law that would be willing to field a question? I'd like to get some advice and it would be great to have someone in or near the fandom to check on a thought. not urgent; "choice between two options" kinda thing
What's the trick to a meal being satiating? Is it the right ratio of carbs, portein and fats?

So is #rfc5424 aka structured logging well supported these days? I can't find much on support for it, only people saying that "lumberjack is next" but that also doesn't seem to be supported well either. What's a decent protocol for remote structured logging these days?
for anybody that's used niacinamide or hyaluronic acid, have you noticed any differences after using it regularly? and how long after starting did you begin to notice?
Anyone else see Widows Bay? The scariest episode for me is Patricia’s self help journey. I too am a self help girlie who ends up in cults. It was chilling seeing myself reflected. But of course hilarious? #widowsbay
is there a cool discord server thats focused on trans women who want to play fighting games and has a sizeable european community? tehe
Is there a standard "I made this with AI" content warning that we can encourage people to use, so I can filter them out and save the disappointment of finding out halfway through reading about a project? I guess if others choose that as a method, that's up to them, but personally I have very little interest in reading about it from that point onwards. The enthusiasm just drops away sharply for me once that comes out. It seems more and more common in #RetroComputing atm unfortunately.
#academicsky what kind of in class assessments do you use as midterms and exams?

Content warningWon’t someone discuss the Iliad with me?!
Ok is anyone on here into the #classics or #hellenism? Cause what is the deal with Achilles? Like, he seems to operate in a totally different social context from everyone else. 1. He’s the only man who expresses any sense of like “why would I fight in this war? My life has value” 2. When he does fight he’s fucking bonkers 3. Then he does these games where he resolves all these conflicts peacefully, makes sure everyone feels valued, which doesn’t seem like a thing anyone else sees as worth doing Or am I misreading? Totally possible. But he seems like an enigmatic figure to me, not just an angry pouting rage-aholic. Also if there are good scholarly discussions of him as a character I would love a source or two! #literature #ancientGreece
