We have per weight pricing on a lot of items in The Netherlands. It’s great for comparing different items when you’re in the supermarket, but doesn’t really work against shrinkification. You simply don’t remember the price-per-kg from last week.
They can still seize it, and hand out fines for the attempt to hide it too!
Yeah, I wondered about the ninth kid and how (s)he’s doing.
Yup, I remember that 😄
43 years old here. I can still hear it. I think I put about 10-15 chargers in the bin because of the noise. I also really hate those anti-mosquito ultrasone emittors people put in their yards. I can hear them whenever I walk around the neighborhood.
I have a small collection of Lego sets. I mainly collect the minifigure-scale Star Wars space ships (yes, I have the crazy big Millenium Falcon), but only original trilogy ships. My wife collects the big Lego Creator cars.
That’s harder, but perhaps the new wifi 7 sensing can help in the near future.
Home Assistant can do that. Put a Shelly smart plug in the stove outlet to see if it’s using power (or do you have an old fasioned gas stove?). It can also track what time you turned off your lights last night.
I put a Shelly smart plug in my washing machine outlet. If it detects the machine using power for 30 seconds and then stop using power for 5 minutes, then it sends a signal to Home Assistant, and HA send a notification to my phone. It’s easy.
Home Assistant has a really good basic presence detection: wifi. If you phone is connected to your home wifi network, then you’re home. Else you’re away. Simple. Works. Local only. No extra sensors.
It’s not about clicks, it’s about attribution. That is also why they all want to track you. It’s not just about targeting ads. If you buy something in a webshop and the advertiser can show that you saw a (related) ad for that somewhere in the last X days/weeks then the sale is attributed to the advertiser and they get paid a fee. That is why they want to track anything and everything. The more data they collect, the higher the chance they can show attribution. No clicks required.
Accessibility
There’s a11y and l10n. What else is there?
If you’re into history, HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), medieval reenactment and SCA are all very approachable and friendly people. They are not cheap hobbies though.
Alternatively, board game nights and Dungeons & Dragons are cheaper and also lits of fun. Check your local board games store
There are plenty of public toilets that charge a small fee. Train stations and airports for example. Also at gas stations it’s pretty common. But I have never seen it at a restaurant or bar. Maybe sometimes there’s a sign that says it’s 50 cents for non-customers or something. But never for customers.
I’m from Europe, so we don’t have that brand here. I used Sikkens Alpha Rezisto. It’s washable and scrub resistant. Perfect since I have pets and kids.
Interior wall paints (and rollers/brushes). I recently remodeled my house.and decided to buy the really good stuff instead of just the well known brands from the DIY store. Man, what a difference that makes. Painting is sooo much easier and it dries much nicer.
I really liked Witcher 2 though. It’s a good game.
It’s not difficult at all, and many editors and IDEs already support this, making the entire point moot. Just do whatever the style guide says. I’m into PHP and Python so for me it’s spaces all the way.
