My father-in-law does that with coffee. Fill a mug with milk, add two scoops of instant coffee, 60 seconds in the microwave at 800W, stir, another 10-30 seconds in the microwave, stir, drink. He won't have it any other way.

I am convinced that the bulk of online advertising money spent is just wasted. All it does is steal clicks and attributions for conversions that would have happened anyway .

I do the same. I use the stairs as take-off points. I regularly go up and down anyway, so I take whatever is on the stairs and put it away, or put it on the next floor stairs if it needs to go to the attic. Now if I could only get my wife t

That EU Sovereign Cloud will help nothing. The basic facts remain the same. Amazon is a US company and the US government can force Amazon to hand over the data using a secret FISA order. They can force Amazon to add a backdoor to get the da

Funny how the original article's advice and your article oppose each other. - OP says to always store a timezone with each date, yours says to convert everything to UTC (I agree with OP) - OP says to generate database rows for each eve

> The servers are currently in Germany With what company? All good if it's a EU company like Hertzner, but it can still give GDPR headaches if you are hosting on e.g. AWS in Frankfurt because Amazon is still a US company.

Germany is a lot less digital than the rest of Europe though. Germans by-and-large even refuse to use debit cards (pin&chip). It's so strange visiting Germany as a tourist and not being able to pay with my card in a restaurant for

Same way as they have always done. Identify suspects, get warrants, confiscate computers and other electronic devices, build a case, etc.

For anyone else as dense as me, I had to look this up. "Pan de Ayer" means "Yesterday's bread". Good story OP :-)

"There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works" I have no idea who said that, but I use it a lot at work when people want to cut corners with the intent to fix it later.

The main downside for me with using Bitwarden for 2FA TOTP is that I can't add more than one TOTP to a password. At work we use Active Directory so I can access a lot of sites with the same account, but all those sites have a different

"There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works" I have no idea where I heard that, but I use it often at work to ensure we don't ship temporary solutions but do it right the first time.

In The Netherlands you can remove asbestos yourself and bring it to the local trash collection and recycling center for free. You do have to get a permit (free, but takes a few days) and follow some simple guidelines for handling and packag

Are you sure those SD cards contain the full, installable and runnable game? Or do they just contain keys for some digital store?

TrustARC is also a really shitty one that tries to make you wait if you dare to opt out (and then sometimes even errors out halfway because "not all partners support SSL")

That's just because our current way of finding exoplanets works best with heavier planets. There could be billions of earth-like planets but we can't (yet) find them effectively.

There's a separate team that manages the Ubuntu PPA. I don't know how official they are, and what relation they have to the various Mozilla core teams.
