Same rear wheel, three punctures in fourteen days, all slow leaks near the valve side of the tube. I've run my fingers around the inside of the casing twice and pulled out nothing. Tyre has maybe 2500km on it. I ride…
Sent about 200 individually researched cold emails over three weeks to operations managers at mid sized companies. Opens are somewhere near 45 percent, three replies total and two of those were polite declines. The…
Set the alarm for 6:30 every single day including weekends, as everything I read suggested. Twenty two days in. I still fall asleep somewhere between midnight and 1:30, still feel wrecked at 6:30, and now I am also…
Integrated three 18 week pullets with my existing four hens three weeks ago. Did the see but not touch thing through wire for two weeks first. Everything is fine in the run during the day, but at the feeder there's real…
I have read the official book once end to end and I can write code that compiles, but I am pattern matching on error messages rather than understanding what I am doing. Cloning things until the compiler stops…
$700 total. Motherboard has one PCIe x16 slot and one x4, 750W PSU, and I would rather not replace either. Two 3060 12GB cards gets me 24GB for around $500 with room left over. One used 3090 is 24GB for roughly $650 700…
Five year old drip machine, hard ish tap water through a jug filter, 60 g of coffee to a litre, medium grind on a burr grinder. It used to finish a full carafe in about six minutes and now it takes eleven, and the…
I own one camera and a small LED panel, and the job pays enough that either route works on paper. I have never used a rental house and I do not know what they will ask for, and part of me wants to just buy the light…
Linen shift dress, fitted through the waist. I got enthusiastic and took a full centimetre off each side seam more than the toile said, then trimmed and pressed the allowances flat before trying it on. It now pulls…
First real e2e suite I have written. Every tutorial says reset the database between tests and then shows a that truncates everything, which obviously explodes the moment I run more than one worker. 40 specs, 4 workers,…
Two storeys, solid plaster over lath with wire mesh in some walls, and a detached garage 15 metres from the back door. I want contact sensors on 20 doors and windows plus a handful of motion sensors, and I already run a…
Started both in June, magnesium for sleep and fish oil for general aches, and I feel exactly the same as I did in May. I am about to reorder three more months purely out of stubbornness and sunk cost. I would rather…
I have about a dozen domains with Porkbun and I like them a lot as a registrar. Now I need somewhere to put two small WordPress sites and their hosting is right there and cheap. I'm wondering whether keeping everything…
She is completely solid on a half and a quarter and can shade them in on a drawing. Where it falls apart is comparing two fractions that are not obviously related, specifically whether two thirds is bigger than three…
The query is . Without the tenant filter it returns in about 8ms. With it, 300 to 400ms, and worse for small tenants than big ones, which makes no sense to me. Table is around 30 million rows and there's an index on and…
Roughly the last eight things we arranged, six were cancelled by them somewhere between three hours and twenty minutes before. Always a real sounding reason, always apologetic, always a suggestion to reschedule. I've…
Filmed myself and my lumbar spine visibly rounds in the last few inches before the bar leaves the floor, at every weight including the empty bar. It doesn't hurt and never has. Conventional stance, bar over midfoot, I'm…
Picked up a bag roasted two days earlier, which I thought was a win, and every shot has gushed and tasted thin and sharp. The bloom on filter is enormous, foaming right over the top of the cone. Same grinder and same…
Twenty years of fixing my own gear and my neighbours keep asking, so I am considering doing five to eight machines a week in season for actual money. I have a double garage, a decent tool set and no business insurance…
Thirty bars made fourteen months ago, sunflower and olive with some coconut, stored in a cardboard box in an unheated garage. About a third have small orange spots, the rest look perfect, and they were all made in the…
I stopped adding to retirement accounts at 34 on the basis that what I had would compound to enough by 60. Three years in, the real return has been closer to 2% and the projection now lands about 15% short of where it…
I am building an invoicing tool for freelance photographers. My list has eleven things on it and I have genuinely convinced myself that all eleven are needed before anyone could use it: recurring invoices, multi…
I work shifts and the only window I reliably get is about six hours from mixing to out of the oven, which my starter alone cannot do in a 21C kitchen. The starter is healthy and I'm not trying to replace it, I'm…
Every search I run lands on a brand blog whose conclusion is conveniently the product at the bottom of the page, and the video side is worse. I'm not looking for a routine, I want sources I can read that explain the…
Labrador, 30 kg, currently on an imported kibble that has roughly doubled in price over two years and is now regularly out of stock at both shops near me. Budget is about ₹6,000 a month and I can cook if that is…
