Certainly not. I just put in some data in an insurance broker thingy and I would be able to get insurance for approx. 120€/month with partially comprehensive coverage (including obligatory liability insurance). These outrageous prices are definitely a US thing.

This is why you should keep backups, which, for me, includes physical printouts of access data stored in a safe location. That’s also helpful if something should happen to you.

You really should. Probably right now.

I also never understood why we are moving away from alkaline/NiMH for low power devices such as scales. My cheapo scale takes 2 AAA cells which I have to charge like once a year. They are safer and designed to be replaced. And probably also cheaper in production.

The one made out of plastic? That one sucks compared to the one I mentioned before.

MS Teams does not work properly on Firefox for example (I’m forced to use it once in a while for work). Same with other web-apps that often don’t function correctly.

On Android Chrome manages to stay open while multitasking while Firefox will close the tab 90% of the time requiring reloading the page. That’s especially annoying during check-out or logins when I need to switch to a 2FA app.

Eh, if someone comes up with such a comparison it immediately tells that they don’t know what they’re talking about. Like, linseed oil was also used for waterproofing (oilskin), yet it is quite healthy. Other applications/occurences of a substance simply don’t tell you anything about it being good or bad for you.

How can you make sugar water taste bad? Or am I not getting something here?

There are drive thrus for ATMs?

Aber zuerst müssen wir ein paar Passanten nach deren unqualifizierten Meinung fragen

There’s no bit of branding on there though and the artwork is pretty neat. I wish the print was higher quality though.

I also remember services you could pay to get your captcha solved via a browser extension. You could also register as a captcha solver there to earn a few bucks stupidly solving captchas. Although I’m not sure if they were actually legit.

High quality tea can be brewed multiple times, you’d typically use a higher tea to water ratio than for a single steep though.

Green, pu erh and especially oolong teas also often change their flavor profile and taste in subsequent steeps, bringing out more nuanced flavors.

When I asked gemini to randomly arrange the numbers between 4 and 27, it spit out a seemingly correct list of numbers with the issue that 23 was randomly missing

care to elaborate?

neovim?

I’d say it writes like an western EF / japanese F. Similar to my 3776 SF (without the soft nib of course).

I like mine very much. Smooth, reliable, does not dry out, works on most copy paper as well. It’s also completely made out of metal and feels very well built. The only downside is the converter - it’s a CON-40 style one and it’s common knowledge that those kinda suck. And that taking the feed apart for cleaning is essentially not possible.

archive.org is great, but is it just me or is the site just super slow all the time?

You can create an email alias for your Microsoft account and then only enable login from that account. If you then do not use that email for anything but the login, you should be pretty safe from credential stuffing attacks.

I had a very similar issue with multiple failed login attempts and changing my login email stopped it right away.
