Love this site. Bought their app a couple of years ago and started learning knots by tying them over and over on repeat during zoom meetings with a couple of lengths of paracord. Slowly building up a decent collection of knots! I particular

If they're actual movie reviewers then their job is to go see films regardless of whether they think they'd personally enjoy them. Some of the best reviews come from reviewers who have to go and see something they absolutely hate

Gonna drop a classic curmudgeonly HN comment here but the first thing that happens when you open that link is you get a pop up that asks you if you want to go somewhere else instead. What’s with that? It’s literally taking me away from the

The killer these days is places demanding your email prior to giving you a shipping estimate. Particularly annoying if you live somewhere where shipping costs vary greatly between providers.

My FB account exists almost solely for marketplace, which has almost total market dominance for local classifieds where I live in Australia. Recently they’ve stopped letting you send messages to sellers via the website on your phone and ins

Yeah I did this with all the kindle books I ever bought before switching to a Kobo. Just need to try and get my partner out of the Amazon ecosystem now.

I’m an Arsenal fan living in Australia, so I often watch the games the next day because they’re on very late at night our time. Until I’ve watched the game I keep off social media to avoid spoilers, and HN is one of the few things I’m very

There’s a museum built a few years ago in regional Australia that was also designed with bushfire resistance in mind. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-cultu...

Previously used mdx-deck but it’s no longer developed. Tried the Marp CLI for the first time the other day and it did the job.

The thing that I’ve seen my team use it most for is explaining blocks of code. We maintain a bunch of legacy systems that don’t get touched often and are written in stacks that our engineers aren’t completely fluent with, and it can be help
