Yes but it wasn’t always the case. Bootstrap used to be very helpful when grids, modals, accordions and so on were not standard.

Damn, the imperial system really is messed up…

I just want cups gone for solids (and viscous stuff). It’s such an idiotic system. 1 cup of diced carrot … wtf how should I go about measuring that in the grocery store? Just tell me 1 large carrot or by weight.

I know it doesn’t need to be exact but it just doesn’t make sense to do it this way. Even with imperial units, you have ounces, why not use that?

Ni!

On my latest three jobs I’ve never been asked about proof for anything. But my CV is also not impressive at all. Harvard is sure to raise some questions, so be prepared to know every detail about this place and your story. Especially if you meet actual Harvard attendees at the company.

Me when I learned that Minesweeper actually had logic and you’re not supposed to just click randomly.

I recently watched a video about Gal Gadots acting and got 3rd degree burns from that

I think we have more fundamental things to worry about than the cost of stuff.

If it’s truly a new thing, there is probably no Matter category to put it in

Even though I'm a huge Zachtronics Fan, I never bought Exapunks until recently. And I love it, of course. I get so much satisfaction out of improving my solutions, I often think about it outside of the game.

I don't understand why anyone with a brain would need this feature.

Didn’t imagine I’ll write this down ever in my life but the solution is to open the hole for a sec so it can „reset“ and close up properly. Then it should be no problem. It can clog up from sweat or semen which creates this spray effect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I generally like the idea of smartphones as replacement for radio/nav but only if no specific app is required to do anything important with the car itself. Because then you are dependent on the manufacturer keeping this app up to date.

But the price for this thing is too high when incentives are excluded

A relatively recent one that I wrote down:

I was at home and suddenly realized (?) I had some guinea pigs that I took care of and they were thirsty but otherwise fine. I refilled their water bottle but noticed the nozzle was very dirty so I cleaned it. Then I put it back and one of the pigs was starting to drink. Somehow there was a lot of pressure on the bottle and its tongue was caught in the nozzle and was injured!

So I took it out and walked to the next vet, which was in a mall or something in the city center. It was a big room full of people and one of the vets was walking around, he looked a bit like Dr Jacoby from Twin Peaks. I talked to him, he told me - without even looking at the pig - that he could help me but he won’t do it because I gave a bad review last time. I stormed out, shouting at him. For some reason I walked home through a sewer system. Then I woke up.

Ottolenghis Fettuccine with Spiced Cherry Tomato Sauce using plant-based parmesan. One my favorites. Takes a while to cook but is very easy and tasty. And the sauce can be made in a large batch to be used over the week.

Are you cereal?

Wish it would include commits of our closed Gitlab instance on Github, then I wouldn’t be #4

I once locked myself out of my apartment. It was not locked-locked, just the key was inside. In full panic mode (because my dog was inside and it was late at night) I googled for a locksmith. You can already see the mistakes I made here. I called them, a guy came over with a lot of tools. He showed me the upcoming cost, I had to agree with it on the spot, but it was what he said on the phone. Then he started his work and, unable to open the bolt with sandpaper (why sandpaper I don’t know), began loudly rattling on the door to loosen it somehow. My neighbors were probably really annoyed by this and my dog scared. This went on for 15-20 minutes and it finally worked (don’t remember if it was only from the rattling or something else). It turns out this was unnecessary, more on that later.

We sat down to do the payment and this is the scam part: it suddenly cost 4-5 times the amount he told me on the phone! I was confused but made my next mistake: I paid it because I suddenly had the feeling this is a criminal organization and I would be in trouble with them.

Next day I checked valid prices and it was way overpaid. I tried to ask my bank to get my money back but it was a kind of payment that wouldn’t allow this. I even called the guy back and asked for my money, he laughed at me. I went to the local consumer protection agency, they could not help me. The „invoice“ he gave me was not valid, it had no real company, no sales tax ID. Nothing I could do here. He did actually help me get inside my apartment but it was way too expensive and the guy was not even good at what he was doing.

Multiple mistakes:

• I panicked
• I did not check if I might be able to do it on my own
• I googled
• I did not check if the invoice is valid (I’m no lawyer but it looked sketchy)

Later I learned how to easily break into my apartment in a similar situation using a simple wire. I don’t know why this asshole made it so complicated and loud.

I have since been very paranoid about forgetting my keys.

Pro tip: When you move into a new place, take some time to check for locksmiths and other services in your local area that are legit and save those in your phone book. If something happens you know where to go and don’t have to ask Google.

Not just with women. I usually drag my feet to make some noise when coming from behind. Most times I’m walking faster than other people so I constantly have to overtake them but don’t want to surprise anyone.

Women specifically I try to avoid passing directly, if it’s not too inconvenient or I will look in another direction, on my phone or whatever to make it clear I’m not interested in them.

But if a creep approaches her, I do make sure to stand nearby and be openly aware.

I hate that women need to be so afraid.
