I have two full bags of pulled bindweed with roots and a barrow of grass that flowered before I got to it. My pile is a two bay pallet setup that gets hot for a week after a big build and then coasts. I would rather not…
Shooting street and travel, currently on the kit zoom which I find slow and honestly boring. 600 to spend, used market is fine. Torn between a fast 35mm prime, which everyone calls the classic street focal length, and a…
Large diaphragm condenser, treated with two foam panels behind the mic, singer about 20cm away. Every take has a honky midrange thing around what sounds like 300 500Hz that I end up carving out with a big EQ cut, and…
It runs all day on my laptop, prints a line when something changes, and occasionally it just stops doing anything without an error until I kill it and restart. Ctrl+C also produces an ugly traceback which makes me think…
About 6000km a year, wet winters, roads get salted from December to March, and I currently pay a shop for everything including punctures. I am trying to decide whether buying tools and learning is worth it or whether I…
1920s house, lath and plaster ceiling in the front bedroom. Three separate hairline cracks running roughly parallel, each about a metre long. I've filled them with flexible filler and repainted twice over two years and…
Tuesday morning, in a meeting, phone face down. Customer emailed at 09:40 saying the app was returning errors. I saw it at 11:15. It was a database connection limit thing, fixed in twelve minutes once I looked. So the…
Same card component, two contexts. In the sidebar it is 240px wide and needs to stack. On the main page it is around 900px and should be a row with the meta on the right. I already have a hook in the codebase from…
34, moved city eight months ago, and I know almost nobody here. The two places I am regularly around the same people are a climbing gym and a dog park, and both feel like places where saying anything could easily be…
Short urban rides, 30 to 50 km/h most of the time, and in August a textile jacket at traffic lights is genuinely unpleasant. Friends who commute swear by an armoured base layer under whatever they are wearing to work. I…
I've been buying whatever bag is cheapest and someone at my gym told me the cheap stuff is 'cut with filler'. There's about a 4x price spread on the shelf between the plain bag and the one with a testing logo on the…
I have a components folder where roughly half the files start with 'use client' because they use state, and a getSession helper that reads cookies. Importing that helper into one of those components gives a build error…
Brood box is full, eight of ten frames wall to wall brood and stores, and there is clearly a flow on because the brood box gained weight. Put a super of fresh foundation on four weeks ago with a queen excluder. The bees…
Page has been up for four months. About nine hundred visits a month, twelve trials, three paying. One of the three is someone I used to work for, which I feel weird about even though he pays full price and found it…
Two adults, first time in the country, no language, and we are comfortable with spreadsheets but drowning in options for trains, regions and where to base ourselves. The quote is for an itinerary and booking…
Solo design work, currently five active clients plus two on retainer who go silent for a fortnight and then need everything on a Tuesday. Delivery is still fine but my mornings are pure context switching and I have…
Five of them are S3 to Redshift copies and one kicks off an EMR job. They still run every night and nobody currently here can safely change a line of them. Team is three engineers and we already use Step Functions…
18x18x24 with a drainage layer, substrate barrier, about three inches of coco and sphagnum mix, springtails added at setup, and a large piece of cork and a driftwood branch. Two weeks in there is white fuzz creeping…
I loved the hot classes I took last winter and at £18 a drop in I can't keep going twice a week. I have a small spare room, an oil filled radiator, and a cheap humidifier I bought for a cold. Has anyone genuinely…
Twelve days in mid November, planning Tokyo then Kanazawa then Kyoto, with about $2,000 for everything on the ground. I can read exactly nothing and my worry list is eating dinner alone, getting on the wrong train, and…
I do virtual assistant work on the side and it pays fine, but the day I stop, the money stops, which is the whole problem. I have about six months of evenings and roughly £3,000 I am willing to lose. I have already…
Right now I pay for none of it: free password manager, free mail, no VPN, no custom domain. I am willing to spend around 120 a year total if it buys something real, and I would rather pay for one thing properly than…
I resigned Tuesday with a written offer for 96k. My manager came back Thursday with 108k plus a title bump, effective immediately, no other conditions mentioned. I like my team here and the outside role is a slight…
Glasses wearer, 45 minutes each way, and getting a full face on and off over glasses twice a day is wearing me down. Modular obviously solves that. I'm told they're heavier and noisier and I'd like to know by how much,…
GET and POST to the same API work fine from the browser. PATCH gets blocked with the usual message about the preflight response not passing the access control check. If I hit the OPTIONS endpoint with curl I get a 204…
