Easier: when they downgrade, set the subscription to cancel_at_period_end and let them subscribe fresh on the cheap plan. No proration to manage at all because there is no plan change, just an ending and a beginning.

Mild disagreement with the wait-and-save crowd. I saved for nine months for a nice electric and in that time I drank nine months of bad coffee, which is a real cost people never put on the ledger. Buy the hand grinder, use it for two years, then sell it for most of what you paid because they hold value absurdly well.

Mine leaked, and it leaked because I let a general builder fit it rather than a window installer. The failure was at the head flashing where the projecting box meets the wall, it took two winters to show up as a damp patch inside the cupboard, and the repair cost roughly what the window had. If you do go ahead, ask specifically who does the flashing detail and get it in writing.

Whatever you use, still write three lines yourself during the call. Deciding what mattered is the useful part of note-taking, and outsourcing that entirely made me measurably worse in meetings.

Don't add calcium supplement to the water or feed on top of layer pellets in an attempt to fix this. Too much calcium for birds who aren't laying yet causes kidney problems. Free choice oyster shell is the right approach, just be patient.

They look eventually, and when they find it that way you get a chargeback and a bad review instead of a churn. Depending on where your customers are you also may simply not be allowed to increase a recurring charge without notice. This is one of the few places where the boring compliant option is also the commercially better one.

So no digging at all on clay? I assumed I had to break it up first.

Ranked by what actually goes wrong on carpet: screws vanish into it, the case tips over while you are torquing the cooler down, and a long way behind those, static. Put the empty motherboard box or the case box flat on the floor and work on top of it, keep a magnetic tray or a cereal bowl for screws, and lean the case against a wall or a chair leg while fitting the cooler. Do those three things and the carpet stops being a factor.

Everyone I know who gave up did it in a hot August, now that you say it. Hose first, prettier things later.

Vent feather loss plus a sudden stop can also be a rat or a corvid taking them. Rats will take eggs and leave no shell at all. Put a couple of golf balls or ceramic eggs in the nest boxes overnight and see if they disappear: that tells you fast.

Add the control plane cost to your overhead maths if you are comparing to plain VMs. On EKS it is a flat 0.10 per cluster hour on a supported version, which is about 73 a month per cluster and goes to 0.60 an hour if you drift onto a version in extended support. That last part has surprised a lot of teams who thought upgrades were optional.

I went full polyculture after reading too much and by July I genuinely could not find the beans inside the squash. Two things I would do differently: keep everything you want to harvest repeatedly on the outside edges, and give the sprawlers their own corner. It works, it just needs more discipline than the photos suggest.

Check roost space too. Squabbles at the feeder often carry over from someone getting shoved off the perch overnight. Aim for at least 25cm of bar per bird and more than one height of perch.

mrr is recurring revenue only, so your mrr is $2,100 and the setup work is services revenue. that is not a smaller answer, it is a more precise one, and the correct way to say it is that you do $2,100 mrr plus around $3,000 a month of services with a pipeline. anyone who matters will respect the distinction and be suspicious of anyone who blurs it.

It's corrugated bitumen sheet. Cold to the touch in the mornings.

1 square foot per bird genuinely shocked me. That's most of a gable end for six hens.

Small garden argument for electric: it protects a fox from learning that your garden contains chickens at all. Once one has had a meal there it will come back nightly for months. But it needs a clear strip mown around it, which in 8 square metres you may not have.
