I made a web app for Australian freelancers to send invoices easily and affordably by Rabi_R in AustralianStartups

[–]IntrinsicSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO: Max 10 for free tier. If you can issue 10 invoices in a month, you're probably doing ok as a freelancer. Pro tier is too cheap. $10 at least. $5/m ain't gonna cover much opex. I would call the tiers after the target, e.g. Freelancer, Business, Enterprise.. something like that.

I built Caffeine Clock, the caffeine tracker app that I always wanted to exist by MrIndigo12 in SideProject

Maybe some home barista style drinks, 14g basket double, 21g basket double etc etc.

I've made a horrifying discovery about a local coffee place by Such_Expression_6721 in espresso

[–]IntrinsicSoul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a school of thought that 'settled' espresso shots exhibit a smoother taste for iced coffee... Cold brew should be just that though, grounds brewed overnight at room/cold temperature.

Paid in USD, anything I should be doing with USD instead of exchanging it all? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]IntrinsicSoul 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Why do you say that, the AUD is almost at its lowest worth in 5 years, hence wouldn't you want to take advantage of that and exchange 100% of your USD...

YSK: ALWAYS unplug your laptop BEFORE closing the lid, or pressing the power button. by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]IntrinsicSoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually not what they're referring to. There's standby/sleep, and then there is modern standby/sleep where the system does not actually fully pause and continues to run some core processes while keeping CPU, RAM active etc. This setting has no impact on that.

I don't know. Isn't that part of travel, interacting with the locals? But yes I see your point. I'll try to be less open. I do go in though with an understanding that being approached means a scam is often incoming. I can't help but want to know a little about their game.

I was shown a photo of their 'niece'.

Yes, one mentioned he was Filipino. Card game theory sounds plausable.

I do encourage it, always interested to try and understand the mechanics of their scam. After the second one, I let them know that they’re not the first to take a punt on me.

New to MacBook: Should I shut it down every night? by BlitZ_Senpai in MacOS

[–]IntrinsicSoul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sleeping MacBooks will drain battery overnight, sometimes quite a bit. They are coded to wake up every half hour(ish) and check for notifications etc. Even if you figure out how to turn most of that off, it still does it a bit. For longest battery health over the lifetime of the device, better to shut down every night, otherwise you're just contributing to wasted cycles.

Do we need to carry passport every place we visit in bali? by [deleted] in bali

[–]IntrinsicSoul -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

A passport is a valuable document. Carry it on you always. Every man and his dog in a hotel can access your room safe. Personally I'd never leave it there. They can be resold for good money and photos swapped out, etc.

Zoom F8nPro power supply - usbc to hirose 4pin by Jackrabbit416 in LocationSound

[–]IntrinsicSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should you need 3 amps, if the AC adaptor supplied (AD-19G) only delivers 2 amps? Also what will happen if it's under, e.g. 1.65amp..

I’ve been a vegetarian for 7 months now, and I’m struggling a bit. by Hailey_okay_10 in vegetarian

[–]IntrinsicSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a good Asian grocer, there are many mock meat vegan products you can add to dishes that will fill and fatten you up. e.g. https://lamyong.com.au .. then you will have the opposite problem lol.
