BASH and Regular expression syntax are two things that mysteriously expire from my memory after two weeks. It’s almost comical.

Heh, ours also got curbed during “contactless” delivery. My wife watched it happen, went out and made the delivery specialist take photos and report it to his manager. We made an appointment and Tesla refinished the wheel. I’ve mentioned th

Bay Area here. My experience at recycling centers has always been quick and painless. Took over 60 lbs of cans and a bunch of scrap copper the other week. No line, no hounding.

I love Goodyear welt boots. I tend to only buy at Nordstrom anniversary sales, where boots such as 1000 Mile Wolverine or Redwing are often 30%+ off. I’m sure there’s cheaper deals for same brands, but the return policy makes it worth it in

When you cross a busy street, do you use crosswalks and obey the cross/don’t cross signal?

I hear you. It’s only worse now. Even with everything is connected, if you haven’t played recently, there’s an hour of console/game updates to download before you can play. Or worse, you spend an hour f’ing with accounts trying to get

How much time have you spent in Barcelona?

?? I spent 3 months studying there a while back. To me, Barcelona felt safer there than most large American cities that I’ve lived in. One “problem” was petty crime that seemed to mostly target tourists—-vigilance was indeed the solution… b

That’s exactly what we’ve done. Threw a HomeKit controlled plug behind it, added automations for it to be on when high probability of being used and off otherwise. Beyond that, it’s only a, “Hey Siri, turn on the printer” to start printing.

Sure, the strongest and most adaptable life forms survived each mass extinction event, but our planet itself is middle aged in its “lifespan” of being able to support higher life forms. We (as in life on earth, not just humanity) don’t have

25 years ago wasn’t any better… I recall several in my circle getting suspended for harmless things. The lesson: don’t explore, don’t be curious, and don’t try to fix anything related to the school and computers. Sigh.

Fascinating. I’m older, but not significantly, and I still end up writing a check every once every few months. Mostly related to kids’ activities.

Taking a slightly broader perspective of Siri as a simply a voice interface to the device, it has been incredible tool for two of my kids who are not neurotypical. For some who are differently abled, it’s not really about the convenience

This. 3 kids here in a 3 bedroom house (~1100sqft). One in high school, middle, and elementary. It works, although another 500sqft would give us some more breathing room. Since my boys are teenagers now, I spent the pandemic building a rath

I second this. I even had a local Bay Area PD help me recover a stolen bike after finding it posted.

I was about to post the same, lol. I use one as a backup camera, and was thinking of gifting it to my daughter but felt it was too new lol.

I dunno... The Mandalorian has achieved everything that the prequels and episodes 7-9 were unable to; it did exactly the things folks said were impossible. While I've been a fan of Discovery for the most part, and it occasionally shows

I've had plenty of extremely productive outcomes that started as a serendipitous a conversation in the break room with someone who is not in my day-to-day (or weekly) orbit.

this is about creating serendipity--the break-room or elevator chats--which is otherwise impossible after an abrupt shifting of the office work culture to WFH without any other changes. there's an actual need here even if this isn&#x27

I think there's a more nuance here. Focus is saying no -- agreed. Giving help increases surface area for serendipity and opportunity -- agreed. I don't see these as being mutually exclusive.

Getting old boots resoled is probably a more apt analogy here. Soles wear down, take them to a cobbler—good as new. I’ve got dress shoes older than my teenager and they still look fantastic. My current daily wear boots are 5+ years old and

Please pardon the COVID parent in me, but... Spare time? What the fuck is that even? Mental health? Critical, but after the absolute minimum needed to stave off burn out, everything is diverted to minimizing the long term damage to my kid
