I haven't gone really hardcore into it, but am slowly collecting a "stash". I've been stocking up on extra cat food and litter for a while. I am also gathering canned goods and recently brought 3kg of rice, a first aid k

I am a bit of a folding bike enthusiast in that I love foldable/small means of transport in general. I've been tempted by a few folding bikes over the years, but in the end after looking at display models, reading reviews, etc, I

I've never done it myself, but I know quite a few people who have left companies I've been at and then come back. In all cases the companies were happy to leave the door open from the beginning. For me it is a sign of a good compa

Looking at the webshop, I don't understand how they can justify these prices. Yes the object is cool, but in its physical form as sold here it would pretty much function as a fidget toy. Is it somehow expensive or very difficult to man

I think one should always listen and seek out advice, but in the end always go with our own gut. As we gain experience, we will get better and better at filtering out which advice is better ignored and which should be implemented in some fo

Maybe not a very useful answer, but for me it was the Narnia books when I was around 6. I already liked reading before then, but that was mostly simpler booms. Narnia really opened my eyes to a whole new level of wonder with reading and sol

When moving to Europe from Australia I just filled out a small form basically saying "I won't be living here anymore" and have not had to look at an Australian tax form since.

I felt the same way when switching from a company I liked and spent almost 8 years at to someplace totally new, in a brand new discipline that I was really excited about but didn't have much hands on experience in. It was very anxiety-

Oh yeah it's sealed, in the sense that all the caps are in their original sealed plastic packaging in the dark gray case. The original plastic packaging on the PCB and back-plate itself is not sealed, but I don't _think_ it ever w

Same here, although I go through phases of high and low activity. When I was learning to code I would write daily blog posts about problems I ran into and how I fixed them. At first I was unsure, since I thought these things were just too b

Really cool (and expensive) rabbit hole. My first mechanical keyboard was a Razer Blackwidow with Cherry MX Blue switches. Next, I bought a blank-key Das with Cherry MX Brown. Since then I've used an Input Club K-Type, a Tesoro Duranda

Not paranormal, but unexplained: When I was a kid I was very sick with some kind of very severe immune reaction. While trying to figure out what was wrong with me, the doctors discovered that I have tachycardia. After the immune reaction we

When I've worked with Perforce it was quite common to double check who has the file checked out and lock when necessary, especially for content creators. And to sometimes use exclusive checkout on certain file types or directories (tho

I don't really understand the use case. Why would anybody pay $5 for a 30-day graded quiz rather than just Googling what foods are toxic to dogs or asking their vet?

This is one of those debates I'd have totally gotten into a few years ago and now just cannot be bothered. I have my own set of testing approaches and preferences that _usually_ work, but sometimes something else makes more sense and t

I was signing a rental contract a few years ago and pulled out my own pen. The landlord stopped me and said: "..Is that an erasable pen?" It was one of these Frixion pens. Didn't even realize what I was doing. It was funny in

That is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I was thinking of something a little less impressive: As a child I got very sick at one point and had to be in the hospital. After being discharged, my mother had to keep monitoring my tempera

I really try not to relax and put in a proper effort to wrap up anything I have in progress and do a proper handover. Sometimes this results in a bit of additional overtime for my own peace of mind.

What an interesting anecdote. I wonder if mentally-induced fever that is _not_ associated with high stress levels could do something similar, or if a certain level of mental anguish is a prerequisite in addition to the fever itself.

For fiction, I use Goodreads and Reddit to find books similar to ones I've liked. I also like going to physical bookshops and looking at interesting covers or back cover summaries. I then buy the book on my ereader (or get the physical

Thanks for doing this. Just a few small pieces of feedback: It is not immediately obvious that "Send request" is also to be used for people _offering_ shelter, until you scroll down to question 4 in the form. Suggest either reword

I don't really listen to anything. Sometimes I try and sometimes it works, but usually it just ends up being distracting. But having said that, a couple of weeks ago I tried working in my building's laundry room and found the soun

I don't have any particular rule for it, it depends entirely on the PR. If I feel confident that I can review the change without running it locally, I don't do it. But if I feel that my review might be compromised by not seeing th

That's an interesting sentiment, to ask people who aren't Russian and do not live in Russia to come protest on your behalf to overthrow your dictatorship. Do you think foreigners coming into Russia to protest (or violently riot, a

I apologize in advance for some emotion that'll come out in the rest of this comment, but I feel the need to say it. I wish Russian people would then stop telling me all about how most Russians are against Putin and hate him, and then
