AnyList. I’ve tried many list apps and this one is easily the best. Not FOSS disclaimer. The free version has very minimal ads, it has a great, intuitive UI, you can create custom list types and item categories, it has built in quantity and unit of measure fields, and you can share/sync a list with others by email address. The amount of features included in the free version is uncommon in the market without getting more harassed by advertisements. I hope it doesn’t change in the future; it’s remained relatively unchanged for the 3 years I’ve been using it!
21·1 year agoMade me write SQL updates that had to be run by someone in a different state with pretty much no knowledge of SQL.
Nicely done, this is not easy to do!
What were your savings, if you don’t mind? I managed to get a house priced at 274k this year with only 20k saved, but a really good credit score, and about 100k income between me and my partner.
Living on the wrong street? What does that entail?
34·1 year agoUnsubscribe me at once, you scoundrels!
6·1 year agoOptimization feels a lot less optimal when it leads to enshittification. I have worked on the tech side of accounting systems in the US for the last 10 years and can say that American companies have largely embraced this category of innovation as well.
1·1 year agoThis is how I felt about it, too. The Guardian’s review of the first five episodes suggests things begin to work better after the first couple episodes, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
4·1 year agoMassive historical significance, miniscule aesthetic value (in the present day). If Egypt had to engage in “interpretive mowing” to emphasize the pyramids, they would also be overlooked by tourists.
Fun project! I have kinda grown accustomed to the laugh track on shows pre-2010 or so, but I know it’s grating to a lot of people, so nice work!
I’m a bit skeptical after seeing it as well. I think I’ll enjoy seeing the character again, but the overall success is reallllly dependent on how the other characters mesh along with the overall quality of the writing.
Man, I saw houses in Portland that were smaller than 900 sq ft, did not have central AC, no appliances, and had water damage and wires ripped from the walls above $200k. That’s not the case in all markets, but it is for a great many. Get on Zillow and start looking around as if you were in the market. Ask yourself if you’d be willing to offer some of these asking prices.
I just bought a house in the eastern part of the Midwest in the US. The tax assessment in 2021 for the house was about 193k. In 2023, it’s 275k. That is a 30% increase in 2 years. During those 2 years, nobody lived in the house, and no improvements were made in that time. Neat! My mortgage is still about the same as my rent for a 2br apartment in Oregon earlier this year. I suspect the Midwest is about to start hating Oregonians as much as Oregonians hate Californians soon!
I used to work in a restaurant.I got paid $2 less than minimum wage and split tips with the rest of the staff, guaranteed to make at least minimum wage. What would have MAXIMIZED my income would be getting minimum wage as a base pay + tips. All this system does is subsidize the cost of labor for restaurant owners. I get it, running a successful restaurant is tough business if you’re not loaded. Running ANY successful business is tough. Tipping systems favor the business owners primarily over staff and consumers.
3·1 year agoI’m living the inverse of your experience right now. Just started a new job that requires 3 days in the office after having worked several years fully remote. I sit next to a full wall-length window and yet am being battered by soul-crushing overhead fluorescents. Time to figure out where the controls to the lights near me live in the breaker. I hear the COO likes all of the lights on so he can “feel like there are more people in the office.” Bully for him.
Classic, it’s a good one.
