Waze is owned by Google, and they’re slowly converging over time.

Delivery starts at $19 at my local IKEA, as long as you’re within a certain radius from the store.

My wife’s mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.

This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn’t just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.

In Aussie but I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. There’s definitely some bad things in the US, but there’s also a bunch of good things.

Now that money will eventually be spent on a different EV brand.

If you’re in the USA and lease instead of buy, there’s a few decent EVs you can get for <$300/month with $0 down, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. Check the deals on https://pnd.leasehackr.com/.

I’d recommend leasing EVs instead of buying them. Depreciation is pretty bad, mostly due to the fact that the technology is changing/improving quite quickly, and the fact that people don’t really want to deal with the battery after the warranty expires.

Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.

You need one with a serrated edge so you can cut your mouth when you use it as a spoon.

Most ACs are reverse cycle these days since it’s a very minimal extra cost to allow it to both heat and cool - it just needs a four-way reversing valve. There’s no point making it only cool when you can instead make it both heat and cool for a similar price.

The USA is weird though. Companies still make units that only cool, and strangely there’s a big price difference between cooling-only systems vs reverse cycle systems. I haven’t seen this in other countries.

These usually have a horribly dirty filter inside, because the hotel never cleans it.

It’s ambiguous - is the “subway shooting” referring to the police shooting, or were the police responding to a separate shooting, and someone involved in that shooting also had a knife?

had its own built in lock with a unique key

Is this a common thing? I’m Aussie so I have no idea about guns.

What a word salad of a headline. Did the officers wound the four that got wounded? Did the man with the knife wound them? Was the man with the knife involved with the shooting at all? Really confusing.

The kerning looks okay - it’s the font that’s weird.

Not sure what you mean by “controlled” given it’s open-source?

Which OS?

On Android, Moon+ Reader is pretty good.

My wife uses the Amazon Kindle app on her Android tablet. You can use it for non-Kindle books by sending an email to a special email address for your Kindle account: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/email.

Calibre is useful for this. It shows an easy to use “send to Kindle” button, and can convert books in ePub, mobi, etc formats to the format that works best in the Kindle app (AZW3).

If you want a web interface for Calibre (eg to run on a home server and download books when you’re away from your computer), Calibre-web works well.

But why deal with separate software like dnscrypt-proxy when AdGuard Home has it built-in?

A recursive DNS server and a local DNS cache/forwarder/are two different things with two different purposes. You will always need both.

Why do you need two separate ones though? Recursive DNS servers also cache responses. Usually the only reason you’d run a local forwarder/cache is if you’re not running a local recursive server.

Yeah this is strange. People need to stop vilifying sex work. If the person is doing it willingly, they’re not hurting anyone, and they enjoy doing it, what’s the problem?

Hot take: If you don’t like ads, then don’t use services/sites that are funded by ads?
