Get the same hairdresser every time, explain it once. The next time you can say “same thing as last time”. Maybe some small corrections here and there, but I never have to explain my wishes anymore.

Haha, no worries. Turns out there is a Phillips insurance company, just with a double L, rather than a single L.

USB is typically 5v.

Pretty sure they never were an insurance company. They’ve always made (consumer) electronics.

25 km/h is a sporty bike ride tempo, not a going to the shops to get some food bike ride tempo. Especially considering that most bikes here are upright sitting city bikes rather than sporty, leaning forward bikes.

You can always wire up an ESP32 with an optical sensor that tracks the blinking of the LED. The meter should state how much energy is represented by a blink.

I actually like the twist ties. I save them up for when I need to redo my cables. Way nicer than snipping zipties when I need to add a cable to the bunch.

Fuckin’ yikes

Because for 90% of the time, you couldn’t. It was only implemented in iOS 16 or 17 I believe.

Exactly. Open any post on the internet even slightly hinting towards veganism (or cute animals for that matter), and you’ll have the insufferable army posting gifs of sizzling bacon, steak being cut, or making jokes about how that one guy’s childhood chicken would make for a perfect chicken nugget.

What do you use then?

Yes, but no. Your rule is correct, but the application of it isn’t. “An” is used for vowel sounds.
University (you-knee-ver-city), UFO (you-eff-ooh) use “a”, while honorable (on-oohr-a-bul) uses “an”.
Confusing language for sure.

Copying the user agent string from the network requests tab obviously makes them a cyber security expert, didn’t you know?

Let’s be honest, probably no (automated) pipelines involved in the whole project. Bonus points for SSH’ing into the production server and manually making edits there.

Doesn’t valve provide login-free setup and use of SteamVR for the index and the like? Granted, you’ll need a beefy PC for it, and probably some kind of storefront for most games. But at least no Facebook login strapped to your head.

Don’t forget that they get mad when the government services they enjoy get taken away. Roads, electricity, you name it, they get mad about it.

Those amounts you mention. The 1200-3000 dollar ones. Call me silly, but I have no clue if that’s monthly or annually. The whole situation there seems so alien. Healthcare, but also salaries and cost of living. (E.g., $45k/year is a pretty good salary here, while I think it is a junior-ish salary in the states, right? >$100k/year is rare as rocking horse shit here at least.)

Oops, my bad.

And if they don’t block it outright, this trick is rather well known and easy to filter out. It takes a minute to write a function that removes anything from the + to the @.
