That's a great way of looking at it, and touches on why I have the most fond memories of the most difficult of trips with the family. The challenges unite to find a shared purpose and a shared identity that persists long after the trip

Good point about the importance of checking your own page with your ad blockers and similar turned off. It's something I imagine a lot of people would forget - I don't think the thought ever occurred to me for a personal site. Par

I had some wool (mostly) socks that I love and are 95% in great condition, but the other 5% was holes/near holes in several key spots. I finally got around to trying darning, and I succeeded, and it's incredibly satisfying to look

Doesn't work for mine. I just have "Days Read" (no "Years Read"). My "Days Read" is a small number and dated 2009, but I was posting comments in 2007. All of my achievements are from 2009.

For my car the fix for this is to plug a cable into the aux port. I just have a plug with no cable permanently plugged in and the car defaults to aux (with no audio) when it starts. Then Android Auto will happily take over from that if I wa

Honey / Rakuten are very useful extensions, but I don't want them having access to every site I visit. In Chrome I use profiles and set up those extensions on my "shopping" profile only. In Firefox I use containers, but

That's a shame. I don't use it a lot, but it's contributed to my photographic memories over the years. Quality was never amazing, but it could make for some fun pictures. A somewhat related feature I miss that Google dropped

[parent comment was edited, it originally mentioned SimpleDB] Speaking of SimpleDB, we still use it. It's amusing how it's basically swept under a rug at AWS. It's never mentioned, barely documented, but continues to work. It

This is normal. This is a bragging thread, so you're getting the subset of people who have something to brag about. For me, most of my mental energy goes into my day job, so I'm often just tired of programming and tech stuff after
