JEEP: Just Empty Every Pocket Lord those things cost a bomb to keep running!

Lots of people say they like Fedora for the stability and choice of software. Lots of people say they like Mint for the user experience.…

I bought a Brother L2350DW this year. The toner that it came with only gave me 320 pages (700 claimed), and the printer has a habit of…

God I love that colour. Been lusting after it for a few years now. Instant neck swivel whenever I see a soul red Mazda.

My visa did not permit work. My visa sponsors always invited me over to explore business opportunities, and I had a good time exploring.…

Personal safety? I lived in Shenzhen for three years and Dalian for half a year. I always felt safe (far more than in the USA). China…

My breakfast when living in China was oats. Half the oats in the shops in China are from Australia, so it was an easy choice!

This. China has only one rule, and it's don't be a threat to the party. Apart from that, anything you want to do, go do it. It's the…

I'm a Skippy. I lived in Shenzhen for three years and made the markets of HQB my home. I never felt unsafe in that time. I've also lived in…

I see new places and think "you'll look naff af in 10 years". I see places built 10 years ago and think "what were they thinking". Many are…

You added a motor to the oven? Lit! I want a pizza oven for two purposes. The first is I'm into baking, so yes please to a pizza oven. The…

How's the Aldi one going for you? I'm kicking myself I didn't get it last time. It was discounted down to $129, shoulda grabbed it!

I'm very happy with the rolled oats from Aldi. Nice big flakes, not all chopped up like quick oats.

Can't she just get a "my stick figure family" sticker, like every other unique individual?

Everyone assumes yacht == wealthy, sigh. I lived frugally on a boat for five years. I didn't (and don't) have the money for a house, and…

If you live on a boat, space is at a premium. Where would you put a car? I lived on a boat for five years. A folding bike was very handy…

The art of having wonderful neighbours is to be one first. My partner and I moved into our unit in June. We've done whatever we can to help…

The "blue light blocking" claim of many products is completely bogus. Lenses and screen protectors which claim to block blue (but are…

It's possible to train your cat to use a toilet bowl. It's not hard, but requires time and small incremental changes. The earlier you start…

No loose wire required. They put tiny fans in them to save space. To do the same cooling, tiny fans need to spin real fast. Fans spinning…

This little non-Dell staff is watching carefully, to decide whether or not to ever buy Dell. It works both ways.

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Less hassle? I did an export from Lastpass, and imported it straight into Bitwarden. Took two minutes, and everything _just worked_.

Can the KP115 run tasmota?

I bought a K1 last time Groupon ran the deal (Nov '18). I have been using it to get to and from my boat out on a mooring in a sheltered bay…

I bought a Sunbeam BM4500 bread maker recently, to replace an older bread maker which was end-of-life. This is my third bread maker. The…

Nope it's actually sunk cost. The sunk cost fallacy is to put more money in *from now* than you can get out *from now*, because you put so…

Wishing your son a delightful birthday. I look forward to a post-birthday private message from you. Will come and collect.
