TIL entry into US national parks isn’t free even for US citizens. Most countries pay for that stuff with taxes. Classic US though

I was the same, dishwashers seem mostly pretty crap at eashing dishes. I’ve had about 6 different ones over the years and they never seem to save much time because you basically have to clean the dishes before you put them in anyway.

But we finally got a good one. It wasn’t cheap but I can at least recommend this one: https://www.bosch-home.co.nz/en/mkt-product/dishwashers/built-in-dishwashers/underbench-dishwasher-60-cm/SMP6HCB01A

Now I just scrape food off but dont bother with a heavy pre-rinse or scrub (except for things like dried eggyolk which still never comes off without a decent scrub)

You just slide it out, turn off the inline tap, unplug it, plug the new one in, turn the inline tap back on, slide it in, you’re good to go. You dont need a professional for this, it’s a very basic job.

At least where I live? Maybe the US has weirder dishwashers?

Definitely best to keep steam away from the pubics

Why do y’all leave autocorrect enabled? Just turn it off already

IIRC postman has gRPC support, unlike httpie, but it’s also so awful. If you use the gRPC support, switch to Kreya instead

That blue pie slice is definitely not represented in the legend

I was distracted by the legend colours not matching the pie colours and the green pie not being round enough. Didn’t read the text obviously

Whenever my wife complains I look homeless and is willing to spend 20 minutes cutting it for me.

Which is roughly every 2-3 months I think. It’d be less often if I didn’t have a wife and had to pay someone to do it, that shit gets expensive.

Github has an option to show private commits in these graphs though

TERM is the default (15). 9 is KILL

Phone: great for mindlessly scrolling or the odd comment.

Laptop: for actually getting anything done.

I’d use a desktop but sometimes I have to work from cafes or something so I prefer just using a laptop all the time rather than two machines

I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.

It’s immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force

I don’t have space for a desktop computer - and I have a standalone house, it’s not like I’m in some tiny apartment, so I’m guessing this isn’t too unusual? I pull out the laptop when I want to play games.

It helps that I don’t play AAA games and a decent spec laptop plays what I want just fine

I have two. Early career I found the second one absolutely improved my productivity - perhaps by 50% or more - as it helped me multitask really effectively.

Now, later in my career I have had kids for a while. My multitasking went out the window when I had kids - I find it hard to juggle more than one or maybe two things I’m working on at a time. I suspect this was due to poor sleep - parents never seem to really catch up to sleeping full nights like before kids. Instead of multitasking on lots of small things I transitioned to more in-depth work where I can focus for longer periods on a single thing.

Now, I think having a second monitor is still useful but I can function fine without it. It’s maybe a 10% boost if that.

What else would you call an analog clock?

I’m 38 and still take 10s to read an analog clock.

I do still say half past etc though. I don’t really associate them with digital vs analog

Odometer readings

I’m a nerd. I know vaguely what RCS is because I had a discussion in 2019 with a friend about it. Do I have it? Do I use it? I have no idea. Is it an app or just a protocol that happens behind the scenes? I would assume the latter. My phone’s a few years old, isn’t everyone’s? Probably that means I don’t have it. No way to tell and I’m not going to bother trying to find out.

I’m so much more technical than most people btw

“and so” is perfectly valid as a conjunction for implying causation. “Thus” would be a synonym. It fits better than “and also” which doesn’t imply causation and so isn’t the right word.
