I mean, I live in a nice apartment and I still don’t enjoy density, living in the city with kids sucks in many ways. Im not sure I would enjoy suburbia that much more, especially if it means taking a hit on expenses. When I buy a house, I don’t want neighbours in spitting distance of me, which is why I will be looking something outside of the city, ideally without a neighbour within 500, if not 1000m of my house.

My money is on it being a rental

Plants absolutely use green light for photosynthesis and do it quite well.

THE ACTION SPECTRUM, ABSORPTANCE AND QUANTUM YIELD OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN CROP PLANTS

Green Light Drives Leaf Photosynthesis More Efficiently than Red Light in Strong White Light: Revisiting the Enigmatic Question of Why Leaves are Green

Green light is in fact absorbed at a rate of 80-90%, and it penetrates much deeper than red or blue. Comparison

But like, 3.5 to usbc is a 10 buck conversion. Tbh i see merit in double usb c over usbc and headphone jack, might be more doable too, the DAC prolly takes more space than an additional usbc

Just reading that gave me a headache. In Latvia, heres how the system works.

If you have no deductible spending (medical, education, donations).:

• Log into the govt system.
• Press a button to generate tax form.
• Press verify and submit.
• Pay what you owe or wait for the tax return.

If you have deductible info

• As before but also scan your receipts, and add the info on each receipt to the form. Can done easily via an app, which handily (sometimes correctly) can autofill the needed info. You can do this at any point in time, so you can do it whenever you get a deductible receipt.

Depends on the types of commutes you do and where you are.

For kindergarden to work, for me, car and public is basically equal, but it is like 7km. If it is a carshare / rental car then I will end up slower because finding a spot to park is pain, this of course is negated if it were my car since Id have (paid btw at my last employer) employee parking.

It would of course be easier and faster to get the kinds to kindergarden via car, but this is a 15 min walking distance we are talking here.

There are tradeoffs, but ultimately I choose transit and just grab a rental if I actually need a car, which is rare. Mind you I live in the city and the moment I move to a house outside of the city I am getting a car.

I have to say I prefer transit, no stress, no thinking about times and routes, I can read a book, study or just meditate. Not to mention that the costs are sooo much lower. In the city I travel all month for 15 euros.

This is a semi-good LPT. You can save a lot of time and grievance by just not folding your clothes and throwing them into piles (inside boxes or drawers, preferably) by type (socks, underwear, shirts, etc). Bonus tip - if you have a spot where dirty clothes keep piling up (used to be bedroom for me), just put a laundry basket there (in the exact spot you discard your dirty clothes).

If you hate doing laundry, get a dryer and do this, it will make it so much easier. It becomes transport your basket from your aggregation area, dump it in the washer, throw in a random amount of whatever washing thing around, set an alarm on phone, throw it in the dryer, second alarm, take it to your usage pile(s). Turns laundry from tedious into barely a chore.

French press as stated and aeropress will give you the most consistency across grind sizes. But a burr grinder is the most important piece of equipment for coffee. I was sceptical uuntil i got one. Surely the difference isn’t that big? Boy was I wrong.

Consider a hand grinder, even something cheap like a Harrio annoying as it is to use, it is passable at like 20 bucks. It was my first grinder, it did the job, but adjusting the settings is limited and annoying and it took forever to grind a cup, I quickly bought a Mignon Chrono.

If this isn’t an option, then maybe consider buying preground in smaller batches from a local place? The place I order my beans from offers to send them ground in a couple of generic preset sizes.

But the problem is not only the quality of supermarket coffee, and the preset grind size, it is also that ground beans will oxidise much more quickly and even when vacuum sealed, the moment you open the bag it will start to deteriorate and quickly. I would possibly even consider a blade grinder over buying pre-ground coffee, especially supermarket coffee.

Teach me the non-sweaty ways. I love my bike, but theres no way I can arrive not sweaty. Before you say go slow, I’m not letting no bus take my god-damn glory.

In regards to #1 - I have never understood the whole blood related = gross. Like I get it, risk of genetic disease is much higher.But I have always though that the grosness comes from the nature of the pre-existing relationship dynamic.

Lets say two peoe who met in their 20s and are married do an ill guided mail-in ancestry test and find out they are 1st cousins or even siblings. Apart from the obvious issue of managing offspring risk, I don’t see why this would automatically kill the relationship or be gross.

E: Interesting, seems ive hit an unpopular opinion. Anyone care to elaborate?

Absolutely yes to the first part, just use archinstall. The second is in large part up to you, but pacman + AUR are amazing.

I actually opened it in safari just to see, but it did not seem like it managed to, at least on iOS.
