I edit legal adjacent copy and our house style says v for case names but vs. in sports and marketing, with no explanation offered. My Latin dictionary gives versus as a participle of vertere, to turn, which does not…
I've been posting weekly build updates for about five months. Two of those posts had the actual database schema in them and a screenshot of the thing that makes my tool different a diff view for two versions of a config…
Same app, same components, upgraded from v3 to v4 and the emitted stylesheet more than quadrupled. Nothing about the UI changed. I have read the output and there are thousands of utilities in there that no component of…
Single, early thirties, income just under the surcharge threshold, no ongoing conditions. Everyone tells me to get hospital cover 'before you turn 31' and the reasoning always slides between the tax surcharge and the…
Rear ended twice in four years, both times stationary at a light, and both times it came down to my word against theirs on how hard and how fast. So I am buying a two channel setup, budget around $300 fitted, and my…
8oz straight sided jars, 464 soy, CD 10 wicks, 8 percent fragrance. The first hour burns clean, then somewhere around ninety minutes the flame gets tall and starts throwing black, and by hour three there is a grey halo…
Shooting seriously for about eight months. A three hour walk gives me maybe 300 frames and two I actually like. It feels wasteful and I cannot tell whether it means I am shooting too much, culling too harshly, or…
Bought a young sheng cake on a recommendation and it is aggressive: bitter, drying, and it gives me a strange hollow feeling if I drink it before lunch. Everyone says it mellows with age. Are we talking one year, ten,…
Broken in boots, about 120 miles on them. Every hike past six miles I get a hot spot on the right heel that turns into a blister if I ignore it, and the left foot is perfectly fine. Same sock on both feet, laced the…
18g in the stock double basket, 36g out, and the shot takes 38 to 42 seconds, which by every guide I have read should be over extracted. It tastes sharply sour with a bitter edge underneath. I have gone three steps…
35km a week, four runs, all of them somewhere around 6:00 per km because that is what feels comfortable, and my 5K has sat at 27:4x since November. I am 41, no injuries, sleeping fine. I am not chasing a big number, I…
We are both fine with the idea of talking to someone. We are not fine with committing to an open ended weekly bill when nobody will tell us how many sessions this normally takes. Every practice website says contact us…
It runs but takes two full cycles to dry a normal load, and the repair quote is 180 for a heating element and thermostat. A plain replacement without any smart features is about 600 here. We do maybe five loads a week…
A neighbour dumped about six kilos of small pickling cucumbers on me and I have no cellar, no garage, just one fridge shelf I can clear. I have already ruled out water bath canning because I do not own a canner and am…
Two cats, carpeted flat, and I vacuum Tuesday and Saturday with a sealed HEPA machine. My partner wants to spend about GBP 250 on a purifier for the living room and I think that money would do more sealing the sash…
Same asking price, both surveyed. The old one has a roof nobody can date and single skin bits at the back, the new one has a warranty with a few years left, thin walls and a render finish I do not understand. Neither…
Sat down and added it up for the first time in a year. Hosting and database $74, object storage and bandwidth $31, error tracking $29, product analytics $0 for now but about to tip over the free tier, transactional…
1,900 signups since January, 8 ever paid, 5 of those cancelled inside 60 days. Currently 3 paying customers at $19/mo. Free tier is deliberately generous: 200 documents a month, every feature except the API and team…
New job means a lot more flying and my current bag is a six year old $80 nylon thing with a zipper that catches every single time. A coworker swears by his Tumi, and the ones I looked at sat somewhere in the $500 700…
78kg, lifting three times a week for about a year, not trying to lose weight quickly. One calculator said 95g, one said 125g, one said 160g, all from the same height, weight and activity level. I currently eat around…
CS student, £1,000 total including a screen, and my current laptop is seven years old and takes eleven minutes to build a project that should take three. I move rooms every academic year and I work in the library maybe…
I'm 54, monolingual English, and my son's in laws speak no English at all. I can put in 90 minutes a day, five days a week, and I'd like to hold my end of a dinner table in about two years. Every article I read tells me…
Ryzen 7 7700X, B650 board, 2x16GB DDR5 6000 kit in A2/B2, EXPO enabled. About one cold boot in four the BIOS reports the full 32GB, the rest of the time it says 16GB and Windows agrees. Reseating the sticks fixes it for…
Replacing a failed system on a small lot and the only spot the excavator can reach puts the tank about 55 feet from the wellhead, with the field maybe 85 feet out and slightly downhill. Installer says it meets code here…
One US domestic trip and one to Europe each year, usually with a connection. The driver is the thing I am worried about, storage at home is a hallway cupboard, and I would rather not spend more than the cost of a decent…
