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…
Same two products for a year with no problem. Since adding a hyaluronic serum underneath, my sunscreen rolls into little rubbery balls within a minute, worst around my nose and forehead. Waiting longer between layers…
One deployment out of about forty takes roughly twenty minutes for old pods to disappear on every rollout. terminationGracePeriodSeconds is the default 30. The rest of the cluster rolls in seconds. on a stuck pod shows…
Boneless skinless thighs, six of them, in a sauce, low for six hours because that is what the recipe said. They are not raw and they are not exactly tough, but they shred into dry stringy fibres and taste like nothing…
Roughly 11,000 kWh a year, south facing roof with no meaningful shading, utility rate around $0.19/kWh and net billing that credits exports below retail. Every payback calculator I can find still assumes the 30%…
Tool takes . Maybe one call in six arrives as instead of , and my Zod parse throws, and the agent then spends two more steps apologising and trying again. The schema comes out of . Looking at the emitted JSON I see the…
On prem tool sold to internal IT teams. Some customers run it against three enormous hosts, some against thirty small VMs, and I currently charge a flat per instance fee which means the three host customers pay the same…
I priced up a shirt I want to make and got to roughly the cost of a decent ready made one before I counted a single hour of my time, and that was with mid price cotton from a chain store. My partner has started making…
Passed my test three weeks ago, riding a 125 in town and doing maybe 60 miles a week. Every shop has pushed me toward a different brand and the range they've shown me runs from GBP 90 to GBP 600. I have GBP 250 and what…
I have about twenty containers up and I honestly use four of them. Before I add another thing off a list somewhere I would rather hear what survives contact with real life, and specifically what people wish they had…
In development I get a real stack trace, in production the client just gets a generic message and a digest number, so I am debugging by guesswork. There is a mix of expected failures like a duplicate email and genuinely…
In the flat right now: golden pothos on a shelf, a ZZ plant, a peace lily, a spider plant, a small monstera, and a supermarket bouquet on the table that I think has lilies in it. The cat is eight months old and has…
One tab per month, each with about 300 rows and the same block of eight formulas at the top summarising that month. Every time the business changes a category I edit eight formulas twelve times, and I always miss one.…
I stripped a flea market skillet back to bare metal last month and I'm four thin coats in, oven method, wiping until it looks completely dry before it goes in. It's brown and slick ish. Someone in my house is now…
