I struggled with the Moonlander although it is a wonderful keyboard. I mapped it to a Colemak layout varient when I first got it. I was constantly discovering key combos that didn'…

I have the makedo and the screws are legit amazing. I never imagined that they could possibly work so well. It's one of those things I always recommend to other parents. The very r…

In Australia a company called REDcycle supposedly recycled soft plastics from all the major supermarkets. After a decade or so operating the business collapsed and it was discovere…

I've used NextDNS.io in the past and setup schedules to block the reddit domain during work hours. The problem that I found is that sometimes it's not just a place of procrastinati…

Pause and resume across devices even. Pure psychological torture. Close your laptop and then pick up your phone later and it resumes right where you last saw it. You immediately pu…

Oh wow, this is truely sad news. I only recently went down the homelab/selfhosted path and the majority of my containers were setup using tteck's scripts.

That's a great idea! I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it because I did the opposite for my toddler to let him know when it was okay to get up in the morning (otherwise he'd b…

I didn't know that "revenge bedtime procrastination" was a term but it definitely describes me. I have to set an alarm for bedtime, but I still struggle with being disciplined abou…

Something similar happened in Australia on a large scale. A soft plastic (single use shopping bag) recycling company called REDcycle which partnered with all the major supermarkets…

Ambulance personnel/paramedics very much do this, in Australia at least. They never run, never rush, and don't get sucked in to the panic and chaos.

I'm curious if people actually use the IR in place of their TV remote as in the promo. For me personally, I think the friction of having to fire up an app first would preclude me f…

I was very much in the Google ecosystem and although privacy became an increasing concern, the final push for me was the horror stories who had their accounts suspended or were oth…

Could these changes be attributed to smoke inhalation?

I played with the python PRAW package to scrub old comments a while ago. Even iterating through the different sorts (new/hot/controversial/etc) I could remove everything there, but…

I love the idea (as long as they are not rare out of print books). Then burn the loose pages of all the books you've scanned in a bonfire to complete the ritual. The books have now…

In addition to the previously mentioned places, it is grown in Tasmania, Australia too ( https://shimawasabi.com.au/pages/about ).

"Sir, you'll have to take your junk out or I'll have to ask you to leave"

I believe they're asking, "why go to the effort when 'euthanizing' them would be easier and cheaper?"

I'm surprised at the amount of negativity in the comments. I use several of the tools and they are great. They do one thing well and don't have the feature bloat that a lot of apps…

I only recently discovered his letter to Nora Barnacle professing his fondness of her farts. Quite possibly the funniest thing that I have ever read, although I did feel a tinge of…

We need a style guide for hand gestures.

The state run Perth Mint in Australia created a gold backed crypto 2019 and they are already trying to shut it down.

It's think it's very fitting. The dung beetle is the worldly embodiment of Sisyphus. Doomed to forever push a boulder uphill only for it to roll down again when he was near the top…

I used to believe that it was harmless and wasn't somthing that could lead to dependency, but browsing the r/leaves and r/Petioles subreddits has shifted that attitude. Not just th…
