My wife swears by it. For me it does nothing. She gets wasp-sized bumps from mosquito bites.

Below -18°C.

I use a probe thermometer to verify. Mine hovers between -20°C to -22°C

Sweden. 30 days of PTO per year.

I usually do three weeks in summer, two over Christmas and save the rest for random extended weekends when the public holidays align.

Also, I have about 90 days of paid, and 45 barely paid days parental leave left to take out. There was a total of 480 days for me and the Mrs to share in-betweenst ourselves per kid. I took four months off. Plus another 10 daddy-days to use immediately after baby was born.

I started 28 years ago with Slackware 3.0, then Gentoo, Ubuntu, took a detour via OS X, then back to Ubuntu, now Arch.

Thanks. It hit close to home. I hate it.

I’m going to place an angled mirror from the bathroom to the kitchen so I can blink to my wife to bring toilet paper. Or a towel.

I thought we solved this for good in the 80s?

I guess that particular question didn’t age so well.

It’s been 20-something years since I’ve read the books as far as Jordan wrote. I haven’t read any theories.

If I had to make one up on the spot it would be that ironing clothes has not been invented in this turn off the wheel.

That would explain why the two rivers girls keep smoothening their dresses on every page.

I moved five countries over so I don’t have to talk to or see my family. I used to sail away so that I don’t have to talk to, or even see other people.

Right now I’m in-between boats and trying out camping to get away from people instead. Also, the dogs like it more than sailing. Having to dinghy to shore for pee breaks gets tiring real fast.

Only if you want a visit from the thought police.

It was the bees knees a few years back. It feels like they’ve lost momentum.

Today, I’d imagine safetynet puts a lot of road bumps in running apps with DRM like Spotify and Netflix. Also banking apps and apps for bus tickets and such.

Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.

Sailor here.

I’ve put those plastic shower tile mats under my mattress. The ones that help with draining water while keeping your toesies dry.

It lets enough air flow through that it can dry up under the mattress. Others just drill a bunch of airholes in their berths.

I would’ve guessed the killer app.

can’t even imagine what type of job I’d love

Fun fact! Most of us don’t love our jobs. We just do them to have a roof over our heads and food on our tables.

I just bought one last year.

It’s not retro. It’s in that sweet spot where it’s irrelevant enough to be dirt cheap.

We’ll need to wait another 10-20 years before the kids who grew up with the xbox360 have enough time and disposable income to buy and play all the games they loved in their youth.

Calluses build up fast if you keep at it.

The pain is just weakness leaving the body.

Get your own domain. Don’t host your own.

I’ve had the same domain on gmail, proton and now purelymail.

My day-to-day stuff stays in sync via syncthing on my two laptops, my desktop and my home server. They all run btrfs, so I won’t be syncing any flipped bits around.

Home server rsyncs from my VPS once a week. When that’s fine, it rsyncs itself over to a hetzner storage over sshfs+gocryptfs.

Four copies at home, one in the cloud.
