Roughly 8,000 rows, 15 columns, mostly SUMIFS with a few INDEX MATCH and some conditional formatting. Every time I type in a cell the whole thing freezes for about 20 seconds. The file is only 4 MB. Is this normal at…
Launched at 12 a month, raised to 19 six months ago for new signups only. The first 40 customers stayed on 12 and about 30 of them are still active. Financially it is fine. Operationally it is a mess. There are two…
New job starts at 07:00 in four weeks and I currently get up at 07:30, so I need to be waking at 05:45 and not feeling destroyed by week two. East facing room with thin curtains, so in summer I am already getting light…
Pattern is always the same. Sunday evening is my longest block, I finish something around 22:30, ship it because it feels wasteful not to, go to bed, wake to error emails, fix it at 6am, then do a full day of work on…
Gasket mount, polycarbonate plate, linears, PBT caps. Sound has a hollow ring behind every keypress, like there is a small room under the board, and it is worst on the right hand side away from the daughterboard. Tape…
I've matched with maybe fifteen people for Italian on exchange apps. Four replied, two had a good first chat, and then both fizzled inside a fortnight. I can do two evenings a week, I'm B1, and every partner so far has…
Bought four secondhand 12TB drives from a seller who described them as pulls from a datacentre. They arrived, all four report between 39000 and 41000 power on hours, which is roughly four and a half years of continuous…
Marketing site and login live on , the actual product is on . Both https, same certificate, same everything. After login the cookie is visibly set I can see it in the response, I can see it in devtools on . Navigate to…
We split rent and groceries from a joint account and keep our own current accounts for everything else. Every app I've tried wants either one merged household view or two entirely separate subscriptions, and my partner…
US, employer plan, and the deductible is roughly double what I had before with a narrower network that my existing specialist is not in. My spouse has a plan at her employer that looks better but her open enrolment was…
12V diaphragm pump with a 60 litre tank. With everything closed the pump kicks on for about half a second every eight to ten seconds, all night, which is both annoying and clearly not free electrically. No visible drips…
Two accounts at a big four bank, an offset, and a card with a smaller lender. I've been using something that scrapes and it's flaky. I understand there's a properly regulated data sharing system here now and I'd rather…
I am 34, everything tax sheltered is already full, and the rest goes into one broad market index fund in a plain taxable account. I am tempted to move maybe 30 percent into individual dividend payers, honestly for…
I portion ribeyes at about 1.5 inches, seal them, and freeze them flat. I would like to drop one in the water at 6pm with no thawing step. Everything I read says add some time, which is not a number. Does anyone have a…
Stood in a queue behind someone ordering at Panda Express and noticed the shrimp dish carries a surcharge over the standard entrees even though the box is the same size. Same thing happens at burrito places with the…
34, leaving an ops role for data analytics, nine months of expenses saved, no dependants. I am not looking for encouragement, I am looking for the signal people wish they had read earlier and ignored. If you switched…
I used MyFitnessPal for years and drifted away when barcode scanning went behind the subscription, and everything I have tried since seems to want a monthly fee and a personality. Android, and honestly I only need…
US, system was switched on in November 2025 and I filed the 2025 return this spring. I expected the credit to arrive as a refund and instead the software applied a chunk of it and carried the rest to next year, and I…
Started about a week ago. With one shower going the pump cuts in and out roughly three times a minute and you can hear the pressure switch clacking from the kitchen. Pressure at the tap swings noticeably while it does…
Cabin bag only, two adults, fourteen days, and we are the kind of pale that gets through a lot of it. The 100ml liquid limit means I can maybe carry 300ml between us if I give up the entire liquids bag to sunscreen.…
Serverless Postgres, picked specifically because my traffic is bursty and I liked the idea of paying nothing overnight. Autosuspend is on with a 5 minute timeout. Bill went from about $19 to $61. Compute hours for the…
Fieldwork done, data analysed, and I have written 4,000 words in five months. I open the file, read one paragraph, feel physically sick, and close it. My supervisor is kind but busy and I've been telling him it's going…
One key at about 45 degrees, a bounce on the fill side, backdrop roughly 2 metres behind the subject. Exposure is correct, white balance is correct, shooting a standard picture profile rather than log. It still looks…
I want the database file to live on machines I own and nowhere else, mostly because I do not want to be a line item in someone else's breach notification. That is easy on two laptops and impossible on a phone, which is…
Fitted new organic pads and new rotors on a hydraulic setup. Braking power is fine but there is a loud howl on the front, especially at low speed and when damp. I bedded them in with about twenty hard stops from 25 km/h…
