I am thinking about replacing battery by myself. It is a bit complicated, but there are guides to do it. Or maybe I get new SE when they get upgraded.

I am still using iPhone 5S, 16GB and it still works great. Marketers did a great job convincing people that they need to renew their phones every two years (or less)

I am making wine for 5 years. During this time I was subletting small part of another winery, but now it is time to move to my own place. Winery can have many different forms, mine is going to be oversized garage/small warehouse. I hir

All of my journals are paper and I do have few of them. One is strictly work related, another one is for travel, next is more like work ideas/things to do. They are all dated and it is just simple stream of what is going on in my head

Biggest thing seems to be writing non-trivial GraphQL + Rails backend. It was quite interesting work: there is still not really much best practices for this combination, so just to make it work in a Rails way did take some time and trial an

It is hard to give advice to people who make it on top of some hill. For me the burnout happened when I was just your typical grunt developer working on string of unsuccessful startups and boring freelance gigs, doing this line of work for

Yes, I am not sure how common are those gigs, but I did quite a few projects in development agency. It was usually in situations when projects went bad, I had to examine code structure and timelines to see why it went this way.

Subsidising farmers is double edge sword, it do inflate the prices of everything you are supposed to buy with that money, be it tractors, land, fertilisers and such. Dealers know how much you are going to get from government and they want s

Yeah, I spend each winter contracting for funded startups and the vision of new tractor implement or some new gizmo makes it easier to work on the stuff. I guess the big part of better lifestyle is just giving up on ambitions. You know that

I did bought few small vineyard plots 5 years ago. It is good lifestyle, especially as I live in the city and commute to countryside few days a week. It is hard to make living this way, you have to spend astronomical amount of money just to

That must be location dependent. In my area there are no fungi problem with walnuts and I get consistent crop every, biggest problem is spring frost.

by dejv 9y ago

You can even buy OEM battery replacement kit and do it by yourself for about half of the price. It is quite straightforward. I am still using same model as well, but I am going to upgrade this week as I've got some weird issues lately.
