I have about 100k in a flexible currency and exactly one trip planned this year, so this is not a long game for me. Booking with cash means keeping the points for something I may never book, and booking with points…
New job is business casual, the climate here has four real seasons, and I own jeans, t shirts, one coat and a pair of trainers. I have roughly 1500 to spend over about six months and I would rather not blow it in the…
Windows 11, external webcam plus a USB mic on an arm. Roughly one call in three starts with the webcam mic selected, usually after the machine has slept or the USB hub has re enumerated. I have set the default in Sound…
Two evenings of searching turned up three competitors. All between $15 and $25 a month, all with changelogs going back years, all with customers who post screenshots of the thing working. Half my brain reads that as…
Ten speed drivetrain, about 4000km on the chain and cassette. Shifting is perfect across the big half of the cassette but in the three smallest cogs it skips under pedalling load, roughly once every few pedal strokes,…
Small B2B tool, 14 day free trial with no card required, 40 signups over two months and not one has paid. About half never came back after day one. I have no idea whether the product is wrong, the price is wrong, or the…
Running about 50km a week, target easy pace should be somewhere near 6:20 based on my recent 10K. Every single easy run I start at 6:15 and by kilometre three I look down and I am at 5:35 without feeling like I sped up.…
One medium dog, about 300g of kibble a day, so a 15kg bag lasts me the better part of seven weeks. The big bag saves real money but I have started wondering whether the last third is worth eating by the time we get…
small app, about 1,200 users, no change in traffic or signups. reads went from roughly 2m a month to about 80m over nine days, starting the day after a release. the usage dashboard cheerfully confirms that the reads…
Streetlight straight through a thin curtain, renting so I cannot fit a blind, and blackout curtain clips helped about half. Budget £40. I have tried two flat masks: one slipped off within an hour, the other stayed on…
No desk, no dining table, and the kitchen counter has about 40cm of usable space. So the build is happening on the bedroom floor, which is carpet, in winter, in a flat where the radiators are on constantly and…
Two bikes, a hallway with a radiator in the wrong place, and currently I pay the shop for everything including punctures. I would like to get to the point where routine maintenance happens at home, but I do not want a…
She walks home from school and I'd like to be reachable without handing her a phone for another couple of years. Requirements: calls and messages to a short list of numbers only, location, no browser, no app store, no…
One litre glass press, 70 g coarse, water just off the boil, stir at one minute, plunge at four. At four it tastes weak and a bit sour, so I tried eight and got something drying and harsh at the back of the throat. I…
Five months since I came back from burnout leave. I'm in bed by ten, asleep quickly, up at eight, and by eleven in the morning I'm ready to lie down again. The GP ran bloods and everything came back normal, which I'm…
I've been on 40kg for five weeks. 3x5 at 40 is hard but doable, and 45 is a wall, I get one rep and the second stapled me last Tuesday. That's a 12% jump and it's obviously too much, but the smallest plates in this gym…
Different people, same shape. Six good months, then I start finding them irritating over small things, then I go quiet and busy until they end it, and I feel relieved for a fortnight and awful after. I am 33 and I would…
About 1,100 sq ft of unfinished basement, concrete floor, humid climate, no standing water but the joists have started to smell. The 22 pint unit I bought last year runs almost continuously and holds it at roughly 62%,…
Magnesium, zinc, iron, a multivitamin and a calcium tablet, all at once with coffee, because that is the only routine that has ever stuck for me. Bloodwork showed low ferritin so the iron is the one that genuinely…
Signed a design partner in March. Ops lead at a 40 person logistics company. Weekly calls, extremely engaged, gave us a detailed spec for a bulk import plus approval flow we didn't have. We built it. Six weeks,…
Shoulder season backpacking in the mountains, nights around 0C/32F. Budget is roughly $250 350 and I'd like to stay under about 900g. Last trip I borrowed a bag marked "0C" and shivered from 2am onwards, so clearly I…
Three sessions a week, rings and a bar, everything logged. Strength has genuinely moved: dips with 10kg added, first clean chin up hold: but the tape measure says 33cm on my upper arm the same as it did in November. I…
My current car has an inspection due in about two months and I already know it will not pass without more money than it is worth. I get roughly one free weekend a fortnight to go and look at things, buying used, private…
Heavy clay, about six hours of direct sun in summer, and the only tool I own is a spade. I want to eat something this year rather than spend the season building infrastructure. Budget is roughly 150 for everything…
I own all four and currently pile them all into the evening because I read somewhere that actives are night things. Skin is oily combination, no irritation, but also nothing is improving after about four months, and I…
