I feel this will resonate with a lot of us. For a lot of years I very much lost the love of the web I'd had since the mid 90s. A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to have the time, space and money to enjoy side projects again. Mus

Sure, start with 501s in Levi's LVC line. You'll get better quality, selvedge denim and they'll be based on 501s from different eras (so slimmer legs, wider hem, etc etc). If you're lucky you can find some with Japanese

(Denim head) Anecdata - buying Levis from Amazon (or any other store), pick up at least a couple of pairs in the same size. It's likely different people/factories making them, but often you'll find variation in size/deni

Both times I had COVID I went from "worst fever ever / my body feels like I've been hit my a bus" to "I have a pretty average cold" in less than 36 hours. Utterly bizarre. (Vaccinated, good health, 40s male) Ed

Buy second hand! It's much easier to wear a $1000 coat to a bar knowing you only paid $125 for it!

What a lovely article. For those that don't follow already, Derek Guy ( https://x.com/dieworkwear ) covers men's clothes in a wonderful way (and is also very funny).

Ignoring some of the obvious ones, something that made a big difference to me was an Aarke water carbonator. Looks pretty, works really well, no more lugging heavy sparkling water bottles, and taking away the (many!) plastic bottles I used

Thanks for the reply! I completely understand, particularly regarding the monopoly, but do consider stuff that's technically 'non-standard' in an advanced module. It's hard enough to explain to my mum (at least) one conc

Hey this is great - just had a look for my mum! Couple of questions (which without watching are hard to answer) - why the modules on the F-Droid App Store and Firefox? As a (young(er!)) Android user I've used neither and would be unlik

I've never had a problem searching on Namecheap. But unless you're buying an expensive TLD, just buy the domain immediately and turn off the renew option. Peace of mind for the sake of the price of a drink or two. You can always l

Just a quickie - I don't think your counts are correct. It say 3 letters / 7 photos on the main page, but it's 4/8 if you click through :-) Good luck with the project!

Hahaha, yeah, they're a fun band. I saw them (for the last time, I guess?!) a couple of weeks ago (and oddly in reference to the lyrics, I actually saw them tour Pump Up The Valuum as well). Mike is pushing 60 now!

All the comments in this thread so far are great, and you should definitely try a combination of all of them. It's been a while since I've needed to do this, but regarding the 'personal network' - back when I started fre
