I bought a house 2 years ago. Any communication from water and garbage utilities is always in paper form. No option for digital in any way. When asked it was for "legal" reasons. Property owner's insurance also sends their le

Not that I'm aware of but if banks don't offer it, which most dont, good luck.

Because that needs 2FA to login and guess what the only way to get the code is.

Denmarks main postal carrier discontinued letter delivery last year. Living in Germany I find the contrast always interesting and often, unfortunately, annoying. Almost anything legal has to be done on paper via letter. Fax (yes, really) is

We run an internal, fullstack platform that developers from other teams use to make their backend systems available to end users. To standardize design, we created grammar guidelines and fed instructions to an AI review bot. It catches abou

True. Though im unsure of what would be a better one. Doesnt get much simpler than an arrow. Id think that for a car you own you wouldnt need it after the first few times though.

I have a newer Bosch oven which comes with an optionally engable rapid heat function. It can usually reach 200C (400ish F) within 5ish minutes.

I like the kitchen island as a massive prep space. Large enough for 2 large cutting boards, plenty of bowls, and other ingredients. Not using it for anything else though.

by mschild 9mo ago
Throw away any cutting board thats not wood. (Bamboo being the exception although I dont know if bamboo is wood?) Plastic cutting boards will contaminate whatever you are cutting on it with a load of micro and, in many cases macroplastics.

I get where you are coming from but at the same time if you use a potentially dangerous tool you should learn how to properly use it. Just using a claw grip will significantly reduce your chance of injury. I have seen more injuries from dul

The web search feature isnt great. With the bridge youre unecrypting the emails and letting Thunderbird have full access so its as good as whatever Thunderbird (or other programs) have implemented. Proton websearch is by default email title

You get of what you put in. (Sort of) I had a lot of good books that I finished reading and wouldn't realistically touch again. Whenever I went to browse for some books I would leave one of them in exchange. Over time, the quality went

I agree, but when rewatching older Trek shows it is also a bit infuriating how nothing really has an impact. Last season of TNG they introduced the fact that warp was damaging subspace. That fact was forgotten just a few episodes later. I t

Part of the reason is that train drivers often dont even know themselves. They might simply get the signal to hold the train or that it needs to be diverted.

Yes, but not for the IC and ICE which are long distsnce trains. Those are still separate tickets as usual.

As another German, I think there is different kinds of corruption. There is low-level and high-level. Low-level is when you bribe individual cops, city clerks, etc so they let you go instead of writing a speeding ticket or approving your ho

- Woodworking. Bit of a cliché for an engineer, I know ;) I renovated my own house from the ground up over the past 2 years but I found the woodworking part always incredibly rewarding. At this point I have quite a good selection of tools a

Probably more convinient to get a cheap, 2nd hand phone with the travel essentials and use that instead.

Not just to blame. They also sell credibility to a lot of managers and bosses. I've experienced it often enough that upper management doesn't listen to their own employees. Ultimately, a consultant comes in, talks to employees, su

Surrogacy is illegal in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Finland, and Turkey. Also banned in China, some states in the US and Québec. Thats a pretty hefty chunk of the worlds population. A lot of other countries

Something that most sub 1000€ laptops could do over a decade ago, requires a macbook costing well above 2000€ in 2025. I'm running multiple types of machines in my home for work and personal use but macs have been by far the worst offe

My view is likely very tinted. Skyrim was my first Bethesda game and while I did the play the Oblivian remaster, I never touched Daggerfall. From my view, assuming the remaster isn't too massively different content wise, the change was

Riddled with bugs is frankly expected for Bethesda. Starfield's main problem was the shallow content which is very unlike Bethesda. Skyrim, for all its faults and issues, had so much to discover. As did the previous entries in the seri

Hopefully some more chairs. Mine's running on 25 years now and it has at least 1 broken part which is expensive to fix.

I applaud both efforts but openDesk is mainly aimed at governments and usually only implements 3rd party OSS. Their file storage solution is Nextcloud, chat is element, etc.

Even at an enterprise its absolutely possible. I work for one after all. My team owns the product anyway though and my "just fix it" tasks are 99% of the time annoyances that I encounter in my day-to-day work. For example, we run

At a previous job my manager complained. They weren't mad about the extra work itself but rather that I didn't go through the entire change process. That meant writing a user story, creating a ticket, bringing it to refinement, ag

Or, like a lot of trade jobs, it simply isn't attractive to a lot of native folks because of the pay and working hours.
