About 8 kg to lose, eating in a moderate deficit, and I'm ravenous in the evenings which is where my week reliably falls apart. I've been using a cheap concentrate. People keep telling me isolate is better for cutting…
Small tool for people who run seed swaps and small nurseries. No list, no followers, no budget. I found a Discord with about 3,000 members where these people genuinely hang out, lurked for two weeks, then posted in what…
I build a dict outside the loop, update two keys on each pass, then append it to a list. At the end every entry in the list is identical and equal to the last row. If I print inside the loop the values are correct on…
Three weeks in and my heart rate spikes every time a message notification comes in, because my first thought is always which one is this and what did I miss. The work itself is fine, both roles are well within what I…
I do site surveys and my notes get rained on maybe once a month. Currently using a standard blue that turns into a watercolour the moment a drop lands. Pen is an extra fine steel nib and realistically I clean my pens…
I have an offer for a 12 week paid internship at a research group outside the university, roughly the same money as a semester of TA work, and I have to answer in three weeks. The alternative is the guaranteed fifth…
Two boneless breasts, about an inch and a half thick, bagged with a little oil and salt, held at 145F for four hours because I was out and could not pull them earlier. They were not undercooked at all, but the texture…
I start a maths degree in September and the first module is Foundations: logic, sets, relations, proof technique. Everyone in the year above says it broke them, and not one of them can tell me what specifically broke. I…
House drops to about 18C overnight and I keep the bedroom cool on purpose because I sleep badly when it's warm. The problem is my feet stay cold for the first forty minutes and I'm clearly lying there awake because of…
It sits on a shelf indoors, writes clips to a USB stick and I have honestly not logged in for over a year. Now I am wondering whether to preemptively replace it before it fails at a bad time, or leave it alone on the…
Every podcast I listen to tells me my provider is selling my browsing and that a VPN fixes it. I work from home on my own connection, bank on my phone over mobile data, and travel maybe twice a year. Money is not really…
Field service app. Two of us, about 40 screens, and technicians work in places with no signal, so edits have to survive being made offline and sync later. Right now everything server shaped lives in TanStack Query and…
First time in South America, my Spanish is about forty words, and I have $2,500 for the ground portion after flights. A small group operator quoted $1,900 for ten days plus a single supplement, which is most of my…
New users land on a dashboard that is completely empty until they import something. About half never import. The two options I keep going back and forth on are: seed the account with a realistic sample project so the…
Small tool for internal API docs. Eight paying customers at $19 a month. Two of them, both at companies with a security review process, have asked whether they can run it themselves. One said their infosec team won't…
Every test in the file dies with . The part I cannot get my head around: the const already is above the mock. Moving it further up changes nothing. Vitest 3, TS, alias resolved through the vite tsconfig paths plugin.
Someone at work is giving away an upright from about 1920 that has been in a garage for two years. Alternatively I have 900 saved for a weighted digital. Second floor flat, neighbours on both sides and below, and I will…
Opened a project I abandoned in December. Install fails, a native dependency will not compile, the lockfile references versions that have moved, the CI config points at a runner image that no longer exists, and the…
US, conventional loan, about $291,000 left at 6.1% with 26 years to run, and a $40,000 windfall I do not need for anything else. I would rather keep the 26 year term and lower the payment than shorten the term, because…
Five months of weekly revenue and traffic posts. Two weeks ago a near identical landing page appeared, same structure, same angle, name one letter away from mine. There are three now. One of them is buying ads on my…
It sat directly beside a south facing window for two years and looked great. We rearranged the living room and it is now on the other side of the sofa, same room, maybe four feet back and slightly off to the side.…
About thirty accessories, an Apple TV as the hub, and everything works today. The two things pushing me are a Zigbee sensor that refuses to join anything Apple and automations that cannot express what I want, like…
Down quilt rated 30F, pad is R4.5, sleeping in a base layer and socks. Two trips now where the low was around 40F and I was cold enough at 3am to put my puffy on and still shiver. Straps are on and clipped under the…
Twenty gallon low tech, set up 22 days ago, inert gravel with root tabs and a cheap clip light on eight hours. Everything is covered in a soft brown film, glass, plant leaves, even the heater cable. It wipes off with a…
Three different hotels in a row, same pattern. The call runs fine for eight to twelve minutes, then video freezes and audio robots out for thirty seconds, then it recovers. Speed tests look fine, 40 down, so it is not…
