I have, but only a few times. For one-offs, it's been when I've come across a paid model that included a particular technique or mechanism involved that I really liked and hadn't seen before. In those cases, it's worth t

I make a lot of stuff using similar techniques to this guy[1]. Adding a mesh mid-print adds a good bit of structural integrity for thing pieces, and comes in handy for accessories like earrings and necklaces. Also fun to play with negative

“Gender projects” change cultural norms, and don’t have ongoing variable costs. They just need to be funded long enough for the effects to be percolated throughout the community and become sticky. Education projects require ongoing variable

Yea, when I worked at Dominos we were charging like $2.50 for a 20 oz coke and $3.50 for a 2 liter. Since the same 2 liter was like $1 at the grocery store, I thought we were gouging costumers and making bank on them, and figured the manage

That hasn’t stopped Tesla before. They have a track record of treating automotive-grade quality standards as optional when doing electronics sourcing[1]. As the article notes, Tesla conveniently “fixed” their thermals and durability issue t

Even if it feels oddly out of place there and more appropriate for Notes, kudos to whomever on the Reminders app team advocated for and shoehorned in that featureset.

You can control the notifications – just go into the Managed Shared List section, and there's an area to control notifications when adding (on by default) and when completing (off by default) items.

That used to be the same mix my household used. I’d suggest giving the Reminders app a try as a drop in replacement for Notes. There’s a really handy list template in the Reminders app called Groceries. It’ll auto-group items you add to the

Take a look at Tapo or Kasa devices (both TP-Link products). I recently got a few to try out, and expressly chose them because they do motion and sound detection on device and also support microSD for local recording. I've only had the

For me personally, a lot of times it's for table augmentation purposes. Appending additional columns to a dataset, such as a cleaned/standardized version of another field, extracting a value from another field, or appending catego

From your experience, what would be the best way to handle spreadsheets?

Yes. The flap created for LASIK (and LASIK-like surgeries, such as SMILE or LASEK) heals, but doesn't have the structural integrity that occurs when the epithelium has to fully regrow like for PRK. So that flap becomes a semi-permanent

That's what lawyers and accountants are for. A transaction between a sufficiently complex web of inter-related legal entities is indistinguishable from arms-length transactions. You do not buy a syringe for a 1000x markup. You stand up

They're specifically formatted ASCII text files[1][2]. A single file can have multiple batches. A single batch can have multiple transactions. For example, a company may upload an ACH file to their bank for payroll that contains a sing

That's the default option. Commingling is an opt-in process to use the manufacture barcode instead of a unique label on each box, and makes it easier for Amazon to potentially fulfill orders by being able to pick inventory from a wider

It's called stickerless, commingled inventory[1], and it's where they commingle inventory from multiple sources based on the manufacturer barcode instead of a unique seller-item-specific barcode label, and will use any product wit

All else being equal, it could very well be logistically cheaper. But to publishers, increasing the volume of printed copies of a given title is absolutely not equal to a library purchasing a single copy and physically handling it in circul

As another poster mentioned, YouTube Premium in India costs roughly $2 USD/month. And Premium Family (shareable with 5 accounts) is about $2.50 USD/month. So subscribing via an Indian VPN can get you Premium for roughly $20 a year
