I love Albania, for reasons related to my job I used to travel there multiple times a year until around 2010. Those bunkers are absolutely everywhere, even right in the middle of nowhere (I guess that's useful if you happen to get lost

All search engines include Reddit results by default and you can usually refine by adding some param like site:reddit.com which works the same in Google as in other search engines e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=fi

In general I agree with you that there are some tradeoffs to make. IME it's still worth it. For example, my mental wellness has improved immensely. Also, I tend to use my time in more purposeful ways instead of wasting it doomscrolling

Many countries mainly use second level tlds, e.g. co.uk, gov.uk, co.th, com.au, .com.my, etc. because the registry of that country decided to make those available to the public, and the first level alone is not. In some cases the first leve

Yes the fact that you don't use your country's tld is a uniquely USA thing. I lived in Italy, UK, Australia, Brazil, Thailand and Indonesia, in all those places the national tld (e.g. ".it" in Italy) is the most commonly

I would say that .ch is not an uncommon tld at all, it is the national tld of a country and it has existed for decades. I also think that the issue you had with forms requiring .com must have been an amateur made website because I can'

OK I get what you mean, I've seen risottare before used as a synonym to mantecare (I think it was some Italia Squisita video) but it makes sense that it's actually what you describe i.e. cooking pasta like a risotto, hence risotta

This sounds like a very good solution but how about eggs? I would imagine that those can survive longer than a month. IIRC I once heard that the eggs would be usually on the underside of your mattress, so you should keep the plastic cover o

Are there split keyboards that preserve the standard layout of the home/end/pgup/pgdown cluster? Due to my usage patterns, not having that is a deal breaker for me. As an example, with rectangular keyboards my only choices ar

Thanks to Solaar I hot my F1-F12 keys back on a Logitech keyboard that defaults to requiring Fn to use those (on Mac/Win you can change this using an app by Logitech). It’s been working well for a long time. I suggest getting it from t
