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…
I want one small always on box for a side project a tiny API, a database, maybe 2GB of files: and I have been burned once already by a plan that quietly turned into a bill in month thirteen. I don't mind paying…
22 kg mixed breed, six years old, currently on a mid range kibble he has eaten happily for four years. Bloodwork is normal, coat is fine, no itching, no gut issues: so I am not solving a problem, I am reacting to every…
I have a stats card that fetches its own numbers with . I wrapped it like this: On first load the entire page goes blank and shows the route level spinner for about 700ms, then everything appears at once. I expected the…
I sit down at 20:30 planning three hours. By 22:00 I am reading changelogs and moving trello cards around instead of writing anything. People online describe four productive evening hours routinely and I cannot get near…
Two of us, six weeks, internal ops tool for about 60 staff. Roughly 40 operations: lists with filters, a lot of forms, some bulk actions, a couple of CSV exports. There is a decent chance we get asked for a thin mobile…
Six months in. A card with a nine month interval came up yesterday and I had absolutely no idea. Not a hazy memory, nothing. It shook me because I thought the whole point was that this stops happening. Is this expected…
A guide that has ranked in the top three for its main term since 2023 fell to positions 8 12 over about nine days in June and traffic went from roughly 1,400 to 550 sessions a week. No changes to the page, no changes to…
Bengaluru, working from home four days a week, 78 kg, 1.75 m. I've been through two ₹8 9k mesh chairs from online marketplaces and both failed the same way: seat mesh stretched, armrests went floppy, all inside eighteen…
Coffee goes in at home, I want it drinkable four hours later at the desk. The flask lives in a rucksack with a laptop and gets dropped onto tiled floors maybe once a month. My last one was plastic bodied and cracked at…
Budget is about 200 for everything including storage. It lives on a bookshelf in the living room so noise matters, and it needs to be on all the time. Usually one stream direct playing to a TV, occasionally a second…
Been baking a year and this only started in the last month, which is also when my kitchen went from 20C to 26C. Same recipe, 75 percent hydration, strong white flour. First two coil folds are fine, dough is smooth and…
Gravel setup, 40mm tyre on a 23mm internal hookless rim, tubeless with about 60ml of sealant. On dry hardpack corners at 25 psi the front lets go of a burst of air and I lose maybe 3 psi each time. The bead is seated…
Ten year old indoor cat, threw up three times between 7am and noon. First one had food in it, the last two were mostly clear liquid with a bit of foam. Since then she has eaten a small meal, kept it down, and is…
