Full time job, one small child, and the realistic window I can offer is about ninety minutes on a weekend afternoon most weeks. I keep reading that beekeeping is a light hobby and also that you must inspect every seven…
US citizen, fully remote job, planning about a year of a van plus short rentals across states. I still have a car loan, I need an address that satisfies my bank and my insurer, and I would like to vote and file taxes…
Small bakery, about £14k through the till in a normal month, two part timers. Some months I take £900, some months £2,600, and twice I've taken nothing because a mixer died. My accountant keeps saying set a fixed figure…
I see the phrase used for three completely different practices and I cannot tell which one people mean when they say it worked for them. One person posts a monthly revenue chart, another posts a changelog entry every…
Bought a two person tent on the strength of a 1.1kg figure, weighed the box contents and got 1.49kg including stakes, guylines and both bags. The difference is basically my entire summer sleep insulation, so I would…
Term starts in three weeks and the entire course is one PDF. Last time I tried this I made cards straight from my highlights, ended up with roughly 2,000 sentences with a word missing, and abandoned the deck by week…
I've resisted for years because I suspect I'd wear it for a month and then it lives in a drawer, which is exactly what happened with a fitness band in 2019. I'm not training for anything. I'd mostly want notifications…
Four or five mornings a week, mostly following the same two video teachers, and I feel stronger and less stiff than I have in years. What worries me is that nobody has ever looked at me doing any of it, so if I've built…
Ten year old dog, intermittently stiff in the back end, and the vet examined him briefly and came back with an estimate for imaging and bloods that came to just over six hundred. She may well be right, and I am not…
I sat and watched it for a week: sun lands about 8am and the neighbour's fence plus a lime tree take it just after noon. Four tomato plants went in there last year and gave me six fruit total, which felt like an insult.…
Glass teapot, a fairly robust Assam, water straight off the boil, five minutes. It is perfectly clear when I pour the first cup and looks milky by the third, maybe ten minutes later. Two completely different black teas…
Same annual revenue either way on paper. I am one person, I write the code and answer every support email, and I have maybe 25 hours a week for this after my job. The product works for both a hobbyist audience and a…
It ran fine last autumn, sat all winter with fuel in it, and now it will not start. The shop quoted a diagnostic fee plus a carburettor clean, a blade sharpen and an oil change, and it comes to about 140 with a two week…
US, H 1B through my employer, who has said in writing that they do not mind. I want to take maybe five hours a week of design contracts, small stuff, a few thousand a year at most. Everyone at work has a confident…
Continuous record for the whole act, no chance to walk up and change anything mid show, audio comes off the desk, and I am zoomed a long way in from the back row. Budget is about 1500 used and I already own a mirrorless…
Audible click in the left shoulder as the bar comes back down from lockout, roughly at eye level, every rep. Right shoulder is silent. No pain during or after, no loss of strength, and I can press the same weight as…
1536 dim embeddings, cosine, ivfflat index created back when the table had maybe 20k rows. We are at 820k now and the same query that used to be 40ms is 3.1s at p95. Nothing about the query changed. 4 vCPU / 16 GB…
Five song EP, tracked at home and the recordings are decent. My mixes are fine in the sense that nothing is broken, and they never sound finished. I have enough money for exactly one of: paying a mixer, paying a…
Fifteen percent azelaic, every evening, eight weeks, no other changes and no irritation. The redness around my nose might be better or I might want it to be better, and I took no photos at the start, which I now realise…
I taught my kid to ride last month and told her the wheels act like gyroscopes, because that is what I was told. Then I read that this is mostly wrong and now I do not know what to tell her. If it is not gyroscopic,…
Bought 200 shares two days before the ex dividend date and held through the record date, and the dividend never landed. Support told me to check the record date, which I did, and I still do not follow. I am clearly…
I redid the silicone where the bath meets the tile. Cleaned out the old stuff, wiped with alcohol, let it dry, applied a bathroom silicone and smoothed it. Four weeks later there is a hairline split running along the…
Installed a three pound package in late April on all new foundation. Fed sugar syrup for the first month and then stopped when the dandelions came out. By mid July they have drawn six frames of the ten and the queen is…
Consistent pattern now over maybe fifteen songs. I finish a mix late, think it's the best thing I've done, come back two days later and it's obviously harsh and over compressed and I can't understand what I was hearing.…
The strip over the trenches has been noticeably greener than the rest of the lawn all summer, and since a heavy rain on Tuesday it squelches when you walk on it. No smell that I can detect and nothing is backing up…
