  • My intended point is that browsing all is a viable way to find communities. You won't miss many communities if you browse everything. Then subscribe to what you like, block what you really dislike.

    You're right that all can be overwhelming and distasteful, but at least it really is everything, as opposed to the r/all, which was heavily filtered.

  • This is always the question that trips me up.

    I'm 5 years younger than OP. I work in a municipal transportation power system job (we maintain and control the grid for trains, trolleys, etc.). I'm sure I'm wasting all sorts of effort in my professional life. I have time. I got a lot out of learning Power Automate. However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don't know what's reasonable.

    I don't know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I'd just be bashing my head against the wall. I don't know if they're laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.

  • Having just returned from a long carry-on trip, I concur.

    I spent half April washing my socks and underwear in the shower. Even without washing my outer layers, it got really irksome. Thankfully, we had an apartment (with a washer) for the second half. That first load of laundry was magical.

  • Fat fingers. Also, for some reason, Android shrunk my keyboard, and I hadn't realized it. I just figured out how to put it back to normal.

    I'll leave the typo. Wouldn't want to sabotage your comment lol.

  • English natively, enough Spanish to make friends, enough French to stay out of trouble, and enough Italian to get into trouble. I also have some transactional German (groceries, tickets, coffee, etc). I'm American.

    It would take me a few months of daily practice to prepare and get comfortable with anything but Spanish. I haven't studied the other languages formally, only independently, for travel.

  • I just spent almost two weeks on vacation in an apartment with an induction stove. I've had gas my whole life. I was impressed. It heated the pans faster and more evenly, the temperature was more tuneable and it was easy to clean.

    While standard resistive stoves do get those rings, the inductive one almost certainly wouldn't, because the glass only gets heated by the pan, rather than the other way around.

    The only difficulty was the Samsung UX. It was a bit of a chore to get the pan centered on the coil, and there was insufficient feedback when you got it right or wrong and if it wasn't in the right place it just wouldn't work. I got used to it, but I'd have liked some better markings, and an LED ring that would show when it was on. It also didn't automatically heat the pan quickly on startup. You had to set it to 9, then back off, otherwise it would heat the pan on a duty cycle.

    If I were to upgrade my kitchen, I'd absolutely go with induction. However, even beyond my usual research, I'd make damn sure I got the best option on this. I love cooking too much to screw it up.
