I've resisted for years because I suspect I'd wear it for a month and then it lives in a drawer, which is exactly what happened with a fitness band in 2019. I'm not training for anything. I'd mostly want notifications…
Four or five mornings a week, mostly following the same two video teachers, and I feel stronger and less stiff than I have in years. What worries me is that nobody has ever looked at me doing any of it, so if I've built…
Ten year old dog, intermittently stiff in the back end, and the vet examined him briefly and came back with an estimate for imaging and bloods that came to just over six hundred. She may well be right, and I am not…
I sat and watched it for a week: sun lands about 8am and the neighbour's fence plus a lime tree take it just after noon. Four tomato plants went in there last year and gave me six fruit total, which felt like an insult.…
Glass teapot, a fairly robust Assam, water straight off the boil, five minutes. It is perfectly clear when I pour the first cup and looks milky by the third, maybe ten minutes later. Two completely different black teas…
Same annual revenue either way on paper. I am one person, I write the code and answer every support email, and I have maybe 25 hours a week for this after my job. The product works for both a hobbyist audience and a…
It ran fine last autumn, sat all winter with fuel in it, and now it will not start. The shop quoted a diagnostic fee plus a carburettor clean, a blade sharpen and an oil change, and it comes to about 140 with a two week…
US, H 1B through my employer, who has said in writing that they do not mind. I want to take maybe five hours a week of design contracts, small stuff, a few thousand a year at most. Everyone at work has a confident…
Continuous record for the whole act, no chance to walk up and change anything mid show, audio comes off the desk, and I am zoomed a long way in from the back row. Budget is about 1500 used and I already own a mirrorless…
Audible click in the left shoulder as the bar comes back down from lockout, roughly at eye level, every rep. Right shoulder is silent. No pain during or after, no loss of strength, and I can press the same weight as…
1536 dim embeddings, cosine, ivfflat index created back when the table had maybe 20k rows. We are at 820k now and the same query that used to be 40ms is 3.1s at p95. Nothing about the query changed. 4 vCPU / 16 GB…
Five song EP, tracked at home and the recordings are decent. My mixes are fine in the sense that nothing is broken, and they never sound finished. I have enough money for exactly one of: paying a mixer, paying a…
Fifteen percent azelaic, every evening, eight weeks, no other changes and no irritation. The redness around my nose might be better or I might want it to be better, and I took no photos at the start, which I now realise…
I taught my kid to ride last month and told her the wheels act like gyroscopes, because that is what I was told. Then I read that this is mostly wrong and now I do not know what to tell her. If it is not gyroscopic,…
Bought 200 shares two days before the ex dividend date and held through the record date, and the dividend never landed. Support told me to check the record date, which I did, and I still do not follow. I am clearly…
I redid the silicone where the bath meets the tile. Cleaned out the old stuff, wiped with alcohol, let it dry, applied a bathroom silicone and smoothed it. Four weeks later there is a hairline split running along the…
Installed a three pound package in late April on all new foundation. Fed sugar syrup for the first month and then stopped when the dandelions came out. By mid July they have drawn six frames of the ten and the queen is…
Consistent pattern now over maybe fifteen songs. I finish a mix late, think it's the best thing I've done, come back two days later and it's obviously harsh and over compressed and I can't understand what I was hearing.…
The strip over the trenches has been noticeably greener than the rest of the lawn all summer, and since a heavy rain on Tuesday it squelches when you walk on it. No smell that I can detect and nothing is backing up…
Same two products for a year with no problem. Since adding a hyaluronic serum underneath, my sunscreen rolls into little rubbery balls within a minute, worst around my nose and forehead. Waiting longer between layers…
One deployment out of about forty takes roughly twenty minutes for old pods to disappear on every rollout. terminationGracePeriodSeconds is the default 30. The rest of the cluster rolls in seconds. on a stuck pod shows…
Boneless skinless thighs, six of them, in a sauce, low for six hours because that is what the recipe said. They are not raw and they are not exactly tough, but they shred into dry stringy fibres and taste like nothing…
Roughly 11,000 kWh a year, south facing roof with no meaningful shading, utility rate around $0.19/kWh and net billing that credits exports below retail. Every payback calculator I can find still assumes the 30%…
Tool takes . Maybe one call in six arrives as instead of , and my Zod parse throws, and the agent then spends two more steps apologising and trying again. The schema comes out of . Looking at the emitted JSON I see the…
On prem tool sold to internal IT teams. Some customers run it against three enormous hosts, some against thirty small VMs, and I currently charge a flat per instance fee which means the three host customers pay the same…
