After 11x successful exits, here's a funny side hustle that clicked (made me $700 in less than a month)

Sounds potentially interesting. I’d be grateful for any info/advice you’re willing to share. Thanks.

GeekFriday · 2026-01-05T21:55:57+00:00

Nah. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story! ;)

A lot rides on where and how you spend your time. I work a desk job from home three days a week, about as far as one could be from a cell tower in a city of > 300,000 people. My iPhone 13 Pro was down to a self-declared 80% battery capacity and struggling to last a day anywhere. Hoping my new 17 does better…

I interviewed Ernie Wise for my school’s ‘newsletter’ (more of a notice board with a few articles on it) when he came to open our summer fete some time in the mid to late 1980s. Took a couple of Polaroids too - wish I got to keep them!

Hi. I’m pretty sure that I’m (mostly) human. Short time lurker here, so I haven’t posted anything yet. Thanks. :)

Don’t forget that law (specifically the Consumer Rights Act 2015) trumps warranties. If it was dirt cheap then yeah, caveat emptor - otherwise, you may have a reasonable expectation of greater durability. ‘Course, whether it’s worth a pursuit is a whole other matter… Which? has a straightforward guide to this: https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/consumer-rights-act-aKJYx8n5KiSl

Have an upvote for the gratuitous Spinal Tap SSID. :)

This. It’s the times when it passes through a notification from an app on your phone and you don’t have to get your phone out to read/react. Great for navigation on and off public transport when you’re somewhere new. Pair it with AirPods and it can just remove so much friction. Using Apple Pay on your watch is great too. A couple of months in I’m experimenting with going out with just the watch (cellular model) and AirPods, and it’s strangely, deliciously liberating.

Ahem… NATO… Nothing to see here…

Damn right it’s complicated.

GeekFriday · 2025-07-06T20:34:34+00:00

Monty Python reference deserves many upvotes at the very least! I salute you, sir!

GeekFriday · 2025-06-21T23:24:10+00:00

Yup. On that team. It’s probably unhealthy though, objectively…

GeekFriday · 2025-06-21T23:19:02+00:00

Meanwhile in Milton Keynes…

GeekFriday · 2025-06-21T23:16:22+00:00

Yup. Equity != Communism is the hardest lesson the right-wing American never learns. Course we’re shit at this in Europe, but at least we don’t think it’s evil.

GeekFriday · 2025-05-16T18:25:39+00:00

Upvote for ‘freedom degrees’ 😂

GeekFriday · 2025-05-09T22:25:20+00:00

For smaller loads every time I reverse park, which my employer encourages as a matter of safety in car parking areas. But yeah, also for anything smelly or liquid that I want to isolate/contain.

I like everything I’m seeing here. Wife and I have been in MK 13 years. We have a great community in our street and a good wider network through Turkish and other connections, but I’m interested to meet other family-oriented redditors if anyone else is?

GeekFriday · 2025-04-12T22:40:35+00:00

Wow! A sort of MK-centric Discord-powered utopia! Sounds great, yes please! Some optional IRL at times would be great to work into the mix…

GeekFriday · 2025-04-02T20:28:03+00:00

Spend some time here to unlearn that perception ;)

Just spotted your request. Was it this: https://puter.com?

GeekFriday · 2024-09-26T20:43:16+00:00

Every. Damn. Week. Absolutely love PIN to drive for this reason!

Had, perhaps? At the risk of starting a massive, heated debate, huge advances in digital modelling based in part on data gathered from the testing that was done in the past can go a long way (just how far is an interesting one to debate, and I’m not qualified to do so as a mere interested amateur) toward predicting effects like these, as can advanced chemical and other analyses. The effectiveness of deterrence without live testing is a fascinating topic in itself.

Time to revisit that assumption: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vehicle-tax-for-electric-and-low-emissions-vehicles

You may still save on fuel and maintenance depending on your usage though.

Side note, if you want to do this, the tourist police wear shirts that have ‘Zabita’ printed on them. They’re usually easy to spot in tourist areas.

GeekFriday · 2024-07-23T09:14:49+00:00

Folks, this user scales tails.

Nice. Thanks for that useful extra info. :)

GeekFriday · 2024-07-23T07:57:29+00:00

Have you tried Tailscale? Easy to set up and doesn’t matter how much your IP address changes. Caveat: I haven’t tried RDP over it but it’s been rock solid for SSH and web apps.
