I can get to the gym four times a week but I genuinely only have 45 minutes on the floor, plus warm up on the way in. Two years of training, intermediate numbers, main goal is getting stronger on squat bench deadlift…
Packet of crackers, sugars line reads 0.4g per serving, carbohydrate line reads 22g. I assumed carbohydrate and sugar were more or less the same thing so I do not understand where the other 21g is coming from. Same…
Every single time, I get stuck with one person for 25 minutes and then the event is over and I have spoken to nobody else. Last week it was a supplier telling me about his boat. Nice man, no complaints, but I went…
First real project: pandas, matplotlib, and one library whose docs mention needing a compiler. I have 40GB free on the laptop and no strong feelings either way. Every tutorial assumes I have already chosen. What…
I want a camera for the commute, mostly for insurance reasons after a close call last month. I've read that adhesive mounts and drilling both compromise the shell, and I've also read that's overblown. Budget isn't the…
Balcony faces west, gets sun from about 1pm until sunset, and the surface temperature out there was 38C last August. I am growing tomatoes, chillies and a courgette in containers, and I need to buy pots this month.…
Two clients on retainer, roughly 25 hours a week, $6.2k. The product is a smaller version of something I built for one of them, it's been live seven months, and it makes $210 MRR from 14 customers. The gap is so wide…
My pack is sold as 40x25x20cm which is exactly the limit for the airline I fly most, and empty it drops into the sizer fine. Packed it bulges at the front pocket and the top handle, and twice now I've had to squash it…
Web app is working and I use it daily. Two things left on my list before I would call it launchable: team accounts with shared workspaces and invites, or a React Native app so people can log entries away from a desk.…
Two mics into the same recorder. The boom is clean, the lav on the subject has a steady low hum through the entire take, and it gets slightly worse when he turns his head. Same lav worked fine in a different room last…
My idea is a weekly digest of new listings in a niche marketplace. Doing it by hand takes me about 90 minutes a week: search, copy, write short notes, send. I have six subscribers, all people I know. Writing the scraper…
Started a job I worked hard to get, better pay, nicer people, shorter commute. Three months in and I feel completely flat about it. Not unhappy, just no spark at all. I keep waiting for the part where I'm excited to be…
Shortening a pair of raw ish denim jeans by four inches for a friend. The original hem has that chain stitch roping which she likes. Keeping it means folding a lot of bulk up inside, and four inches is enough that the…
Two wheel drive half ton, empty bed nine months of the year, and the back end is light enough that it steps out on packed snow at embarrassingly low speeds. Budget about USD 1,200 fitted for a set of four in a common…
Picked up an unmarked skillet, probably 10 inch, for six quid. Cooking surface has orange rust over most of it and there are small pits, I can catch a fingernail in maybe a dozen spots across the middle. No cracks, sits…
I walk the same route at the same time and I have a little thermometer on my bag. At 2C last Tuesday my breath came out in big clouds, and at 1C on Thursday there was basically nothing. Same jacket, same pace, same me.…
I write four or five pages of meeting notes a day and have about 120 pounds to spend, once. I keep flip flopping between a single nicer pen with a gold nib and a handful of solid steel nibbed ones so I can keep…
Bone in short ribs, seared, then braised in a covered dutch oven at 160C for four hours with liquid coming about halfway up. They were fork tender in the sense that they fell apart, but eating them was dry and stringy…
Two stroke string trimmer, maybe six years old. New plug, and I have confirmed a fat blue spark against the head. Fuel is fresh 50:1 and I can see it moving in the primer bulb. It will not fire even once, not even a…
I can follow epsilon delta proofs when I read them but I cannot produce one. The step where the proof says let delta equal epsilon over five feels like it came from nowhere. How do people actually find that number, and…
I have 12 test cases. Every prompt change I make moves the pass rate by 8 or 16 points, which even I can tell is just one or two cases flipping rather than a real signal. So how many do people actually run with? Is 500…
One frozen fruit and oats smoothie every morning, soup occasionally in winter, that's the entire use case. I've killed two cheap blenders in four years and both times it was the plastic drive coupling stripping, not the…
We passed an npm auth token as a for months. We've since moved to BuildKit secrets, but images built during that window are still in our registry and shows the value in plain text. How bad is this in practice, and is…
Twelve year old collie cross. We moved him from wet to a dry senior food about three weeks ago and he is now emptying a 1.5 litre bowl most days when it used to last two. He is also asking to go out once in the night,…
I get three lunch breaks a week and 45 minutes each including changing, so realistically 35 minutes under the bar. I want to get visibly stronger and I'd also like to put on some muscle, and every programme I look at…
