I already own a body I can dedicate to it and a laptop that is fine. The decision is roughly between a tablet based booth that sends digital files and a camera plus dye sublimation printer setup that hands people a…
Fine, colour treated, shoulder length. I started a protein reconstructor after a bleach session and used it twice a week as the bottle says. Two weeks in, the ends feel like dry hay, they snap when I comb, and my waves…
Car loan, £11,400 left, 4.1% fixed, four years remaining. I have £300 a month spare beyond my regular investing. Emergency fund is full at six months. Mathematically I know the expected return argument, but 4.1%…
A 60 person company wants to buy the $89 a month plan. Their procurement sent a spreadsheet with 74 questions covering encryption, penetration testing, incident response, employee background checks and business…
Watch on the wrist and a chest strap paired to the same watch, recorded both for a fortnight. On steady runs they agree within a beat or two. On 400s and on anything in the gym they diverge wildly, and the wrist number…
I have been reading papers for a hobby project and none of them look anything like the diagram I was given at fourteen. They have five experiments where the fourth clearly changed what the second was about, and methods…
Survey came back with nothing dramatic beyond one damp patch in a back bedroom and a note about the gutters. Budget is about £2,000 for the first year on top of moving costs, and I have basic tools and most weekends…
I have a struct holding a and I want a method that returns an iterator over the records matching a predicate, without collecting into a new Vec. Every attempt ends in either a lifetime error about the closure, or the…
B2B tool, $2.1k MRR, 34 customers, gross margin is fine because it is mostly Postgres and a small box. I have about 9 months of personal runway saved. Single income, no dependents, mid 30s. My instinct says quit and…
Postgres with a Redis backed queue. If I enqueue inside the transaction, a rollback still leaves a job that goes looking for an order that does not exist. If I enqueue after commit, occasionally the process dies in the…
Two adults, small kitchen, one free shelf. The slow cooker does chilli, pulled pork and stews and I have never once been unhappy with the result. Everything I read about sous vide is steak, and we eat steak maybe twice…
My city library card gets me Mango for free and I'd been paying about $8 a month for something else. Two weeks in, the free one feels more conversational and less gamified, which I like, but there's no streak and I've…
No audience anywhere, no list, and I am not going to become a person who posts threads. Writing is the one channel I would actually keep doing. But everything I read says a new domain cannot rank for months, so I cannot…
Same month, same site. The two analytics tools are 36% apart and I can't reconcile them. My own database is the only thing I'd swear to, but it only knows about people who signed up, so it can't give me a conversion…
Seasoned a new 14 inch carbon steel wok on the hob following instructions heated it until it blued, wiped oil, repeated four times. It went a nice bronze colour. Weeks later the surface still feels tacky to the touch,…
Started the trip filtering a litre in about ninety seconds, by day four it was taking five or six minutes and my hands were cramping. I backflushed with the syringe every evening with filtered water. The sources were…
Trying to flag rows: in F2. I get a result in F2 and absolutely nothing in F3 downwards, not even blanks. If I drag the plain IF down it works perfectly on every row, so the logic is right. What makes ARRAYFORMULA give…
Coming from BEM, so this may just be a me problem. I have a card element whose className is 38 classes long including four responsive variants and two hover states, and it takes up three lines in the editor. It works.…
Ring says I average around 38 minutes of deep sleep a night with total sleep around seven and a quarter hours, and every article I read tells me that is low. Subjectively I wake up fine, get through the day without…
Read heavy internal dashboard. Roughly 2 GB today growing slowly, 30 req/s sustained during working hours, mostly indexed single table reads with two or three joins on the heavier pages. Writes are maybe 1% of traffic.…
I've got gym access twice a week and rings at home for the rest. Realistically the only time both fit is Tuesday and Thursday evening, back to back, around 75 minutes total. Right now I do squats and rows first because…
Bought a bushy ficus elastica six years ago. Same east window, same 20cm pot, watered when the top few centimetres dry out, fed through summer. It is alive and it puts out maybe four leaves a year, and it has slowly…
We have been quoted for eight sash windows and full replastering of two rooms and both the number and the timeline are roughly triple what I had in my head from watching too much renovation television. Partly I want to…
Two pairs, winter, and every run leaves them orange to the laces. Hand scrubbing takes me twenty minutes a pair and I'm doing it three times a week. My machine has a cold delicate cycle with a low spin option, and I…
Winter, parked, nothing running but a 12V compressor fridge and a small ceiling fan on low. I go to bed at 100 percent and wake up around 20, which is roughly 160Ah for maybe fourteen hours. The fridge is rated 45W.…
