I'm in the UK and we bought our house direct. We needed a solicitor but not an estate agent. Saved a packet. Most people I speak to are too scared to go out alone in this way. If it became more of a regular thing it would take off.

Use Mermaid in draw.io. It renders Mermaid into native draw.io shapes that you can rearrange.

This is the real comment here. I've worked in all three, scrum, kanban and waterfall, and I know from personal experience that they all have their shortcomings and it really depends on what you are trying to deliver and how well your t

The precautionary principle seems like it's often misapplied and dumb and never really applied properly. We shouldn't discard a wonder material for lack of science.

You could literally use chatgpt to start posting on Reddit in order to promote a particular world view and convince other Redditors to the cause. Humans will do the rest.

Curation is the lifeblood of Reddit and some subs are insane in their quality and dedication. Maybe there are some in those subs who would contribute longer form content to Lifhacker in the future but the differing business models makes thi

The first class carriage between Bristol and London served free sandwiches, fruit, papers - and wine on a Friday evening. How civilised it was sitting amongst judges and bankers with my discount short haul ticket with a pocket full of free

The tech is fine, but Twitter is a total cesspool now. Maybe there's more to tech firms than just tech?

Well it is an awfully rich person telling us how bad he feels for our lot in life, much like a lot of the startup founders with rich parents trying their luck with multiple moon shots and sympathising with the state of the world they don&#x

Food banks. People are living off food banks. No one is getting a million dollars but they be should at least be able to afford food.

They don't make a profit and they don't give a shit. Britain's biggest recipients of state benefits and they still don't pay inheritance tax.

Oh if only we had a super wealthy patron of sorts who could eliminate food banks with one squiggle in a cheque book

Prob not fitting your criteria but the Withings band does interesting things like detect when my night time heart beat is high and reasonably guesses that I have a fever. Which I do. I have the BP monitor and scales as well and they work we

I was there with you at that age and I am sure that those smarter than me will offer great advice. Now I'm older, married and have a child and I don't even think about myself and what I am feeling anymore. Looking after other peo

I mean it's not all Excel, sometimes it's badly updated Smartsheets, badly updated Appian dashboards etc. Even Trello ends up as a dumpster fire. Only place I've seen it work is orgs with Google Sheets and Docs

The first six months are known as an external pregnancy. Keep the environment quiet, don't take the baby away from home too long, minimise visitors. Do this and you'll avoid colic. Also, don't rock the baby, you'll never

Every year my employer sends a fancy gift box to celebrate the new sales cycle, and it's full of shiny streamers, and tat. It's painful to see all that money ending up in a landfill. Just give the money to charity or something.

We're all guilty aren't we, even speaking as a vegetarian, but for me it's about how much cruelty I can avoid, not all or nothing. I don't kill insects but I eat eggs. I try to use public transport but I do have a car.
