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.…
My mother has kept one in the door of every fridge she's owned and replaces it every three months like clockwork. I've done the same for years without ever checking whether it works. Is there anything behind it, or is…
node 20, deploy artifact is about 14mb zipped and most of that is one large sdk plus a date library i use in three places. cold start sits around 1.2s and warm requests are 40ms. before i spend a day on bundling i want…
I assumed I had bought a year of cover and then a renewal notice arrived at month five with a rate about twelve percent higher. No claims, no tickets, same car, same address. Is the six month term standard practice and…
says requirement already satisfied. Running my script says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named requests. I am on Windows, I have Python from the store and also one from python.org, and at some point I made a venv and I…
Bought a decent sized sword six weeks ago, it dropped nearly every original leaf within ten days. New growth is coming but the leaves are half the size and a washed out yellow green, with the veins staying darker. Inert…
Shocked the well with chlorine in April following the usual procedure, ran taps until the smell was gone, and the orange staining in the toilet tank and on the bathroom fixtures cleared up. Three weeks later it was back…
I've got a comm unit already and the stock speakers are useless above about 80 km/h, so I end up at maximum volume, which is both distorted and probably not great for my hearing. I wear earplugs, which I know is part of…
Acoustic guitar and one voice, spare bedroom with a carpet and a wardrobe, and I want to release the songs rather than make demos I apologise for. I already own the laptop and a pair of closed back headphones I like. I…
Reminder feature. User picks a time, we send a push. Roughly 5,000 a day spread over 24 hours, and they can be edited or cancelled right up to the moment they fire. Option A: a Durable Object per user holding an alarm…
Coming from Next. Building a marketing site plus a small dashboard section in Astro 5. I've got a nav with a mobile menu, a theme toggle, a newsletter form, a pricing calculator and an FAQ accordion. Right now each is a…
Australia, Brisbane, first purchase, aiming for a deposit of around $110,000 and currently sitting at $71,000 in an ordinary savings account. My marginal tax rate makes the salary sacrifice angle look attractive on…
Mid level, two promotion cycles a year, told next cycle twice by a manager who has now left. The new manager inherited me four weeks ago and has no history to argue from. I like the company and would rather not leave to…
My niece asked how planes stay up and I have about ten minutes and a kitchen table. Every explanation I find either says air goes faster over the top so pressure drops, or says the wing throws air downward. I do not…
Cleared 2300 on a card I had had for nine years, then closed the account because I did not want the temptation. Two weeks later the score is down 19. Everything else is the same, no missed payments ever, one other card…
Five months into a new city, no friends here yet, two free evenings a week and most weekends. Introvert, and I am after one or two people I could call rather than a big circle. There is a board game night every Tuesday…
Marathon build, currently four runs a week, long run has grown from 14 to 22km over about seven weeks. Every long run past 18km both calves get progressively tighter until they feel like wood, and I end up walking.…
I make maybe six garments a year, mostly cotton wovens and the odd knit tee. My finishes are zigzag or pinked and they hold up fine, but they look homemade inside. A serger is about a month of hobby budget and my sewing…
Front opening glass tank, full screen top, two inches of LECA under three inches of substrate, and a decent amount of standing water in the drainage layer. I mist heavily in the morning and it reads 90, and by early…
Four year old lab mix. Started licking the left front paw about two weeks ago, now the fur between two toes is stained and the skin looks pink and damp. I have checked between every toe with a torch, no thorn, no cut,…
850 fill, rated 2C comfort, and I've been cold twice now on nights around 3C. Not dangerously, but awake and shivering by 4am. Sleeping in base layers on a 3.2 R value inflatable, in a single skin shelter. I'm a cold…
Only the left side, only in the bottom third, and only under load, bodyweight squats are completely fine. It's a distinct pinch right at the front of the hip crease rather than an ache, and it goes as soon as I come up.…
Around 1.4 million split roughly seventy thirty in favour of the 401k, no Roth conversions started, and no pension. I understand the theory of every option and what I want is which one people picked and what they found…
Crop sensor, 50mm equivalent, portraits at f/2. On the camera screen everything looks tack sharp. On a 27 inch monitor at 100 percent the eyes are just slightly soft — not motion blur, more like the focus landed on…
