LinkedIn used to have this feature called Find Nearby. It allowed you to connect with people near you and it worked really well during large events. It used Bluetooth too. They rem…

I have a Miele dishwasher in the US. It works great, but normal clean cycle is 2h37m :( it takes forever. Comes out clean though! I run it on sanitize (baby bottles) with just pods…

I have the same problem and have still not found a workable solution. Only one there seems to be is to basically rerun 12 years of math, which is really unpleasant because I know 8…

IRCnet and EFnet still have some activity. Especially #worldchat on IRCnet for generic chat still has fair amount of activity.

Wouldn’t you be measuring the interaction with the ordering device? How can I rate the experience if I didn’t interact with the Barista yet? One of my general problems with tipping…

They sell those! They are used frequently in rescue settings. The can is basically a big cubical heavy plastic bag. Your alternative is of course to fill some plastic bags from you…

I’ve given friends sets of Wera tools. Many people really appreciate high quality screwdrivers or hex keys.

This seems to focus a lot on the word usage too, which is useful. Would be great if this combined with PowerPoint Online with Speaker Coach somehow. Then both deck, pace, clarity a…

Moving abroad does it too. Often with even less questions.

Welp at least he doesn’t have any scaling issues. Scaled down to the minimal set.

This was my first PC ever. Such nostalgia. I still remember the games it came with. Magic Theatre and Hyperman were amazing. Cool project!

Working for one of the hyperscalers as an architect, this is exactly my finding too. RHEL is the standard, everybody runs it. Exceptions are for SAP (SUSE) and some container workl…

It is not in the TD Center, its at CIBC Square. Been there for 3 days early April, it’s a really nice office, with lots of space. Views are great too, you can see all over the city…

s/book// and you are still pretty accurate.

They were told to censor or be sued. They removed any postings of war after that. Novaya Gazeta is a newspaper critical of current Russian affairs.

More echo chambers that we don’t need and no one is asking for.

So they should make better cars that do not have this problem. Which is what everybody else seems to do (except for Dacia).

Not all German roads are perfect. Plenty of high way that’s a bit bumpy (although they are fixing it). Especially after the snow and ice periods.

They acted upon a complaint from dating apps and as such is scoped to those only.

US law requires your bank to collect and verify your identity and crosscheck against a series of loste. It is part of the Patriot Act post 9/11. Unfortunately for most banks this m…

It depends heavily on your employer. Mine pays the insurance but there is a deductible. That deductible is a bit more than what it is in NL but my monthly costs are zero. It works …

NL -> DE -> US for a FAANG, my net income has tripled. Cost of living is similar. Worth it from the view of financial security. We enjoy the US, especially Washington but will prob…

As an EFnet admin: EFnet ;-) IRCnet is still around too with some very active chat channels (e.g. #worldchat). The networks are much smaller nowadays though.

The way they solve this at a huge pumpkin patch out in Snohomish, WA (not Craven) is by having a member of staff walk down the line and tally up before people hit the register. The…
