Oh wow, this is a great idea. Can I ask what your prompt looks like?

I struggled with family member names too until I realized I can create shortcuts for them (usually just their initials). Now I just type the shortcut and it always works. Joy!

I was a victim of bank fraud a couple of years ago. My bank was totally at fault (I caught it, not them) and they reimbursed me in full. From what I understand, government insuranc…

Because bikes go the wrong way up one way streets, ride on sidewalks, don't use lights at night and run red lights whenever they feel like it. Think Brownian motion. If there are a…

I've seen e-bike collisions too. Unfortunately pedestrian's are still badly hurt or killed.

It's the same here in New York City. I've seen e-bike accidents and they are no picnic. The city does crack down on them from time to time.

Any bar or hotel has a public bathroom. Most restaurants as well.

I've done this. It can be hit or miss. Get a great team with a strong lead and you'll love them. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of opportunity over there so once you've trained …

On IOS there's Möbius Sync, which works perfectly with Syncthing.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. The Acella sucks if you have to depend on it. As does Amtrak. It's expensive and crappy. Public transportation is designed for getting people from the…

Most places deliver for free (or a minimal charge), so this isn't a big deal.

I live in NYC (Upper East Side in Manhattan) and I don't think I could live without a car. It's just so nice to be able to leave whenever you want. On your schedule, in your own pr…

You can use the iPad as a second monitor on Windows too and it works nicely. I also use my airpod pro's with my Dell Windows XPS and it's perfect.

I rented a Model 3 from Hertz last year and drove about 120 miles in it. Due to the super cold weather (like 12 degrees), plus the fact that I drove in the mountains in New England…

I've used Duet for this in the past. Works great by allowing me to extend my laptop screen with my ipad screen. https://www.duetdisplay.com/

This is a great idea. I've been wanting to move off gmail for years, I'll try this. Thank you.

Wow, I never heard of Betteridge's law before, but it makes perfect sense. TIL something new!

The issue is more that they don't care. They don't really need to track it so they don't.

Agreed - when I worked in the financial industry there was something called data lifecycle management. Since keeping data around indefinitely meant you could be held liable at any …

That happened a lot. Even worse, you'd buy a metro card, lose it, and find it only after it's expired. Why they would expire I don't know. Once it's expired it no longer works. You…

Hmm, RSS. That's something I tried and basically forgot about. What's a good way to find decent RSS feeds to follow?

Would you be interested in getting a laser printer? I have a Brother and it works very well. It doesn't come with a huge toner cartridge but I'm still on the starter and it's been …

Have you looked at the free tiers offered by AWS or Azure? It's a great way to learn without spending anything.

Property tax in New York City tends to be lowered because there is also an income tax. Try comparing homes outside the city.
