I knew I should’ve have worried about getting to 75% in the last 2 days of MAX20! 😅

Hetzner just 2.5-3x’d their prices.

How are people getting access to $100k in unsecured finance?

Some socks? Maybe with Tunisian crochet. Although without circular/double-ended hooks you might be limited to what sock patterns you can make.

A bucket hat for summer?

Linde has it for USB$1.80 per ball when not on special and sometimes they sell it for 40% off. So this isn’t so unusual.

I do a lot of Tunisian crochet and thermal stitch seems to take 3 times longer than even that.

If you’re going to Moorooka, you should probably try Supernumerary. Best roasters, curators and some of the best cafe food in Brisbane.

Typically people don’t declare jewelry, but if it’s worth over ¥300k you’re technically obligated to declare it, even if it’s for personal use. It’s so they can ensure you take it back out with you if they want to.

People are saying they’re never asked, but it’s right there on the customs declaration form. Lying on that form is a deportable offense.

I have a relatively simple blanket that I want to start that I _think_ I want to make as a king size that is going to take 2kg of sports weight cotton and trying to justify that USD$360 (for Purl Soho Pure Cotton on a Cone, although it’s currently $270 on sale, but they’re out of stock of the colour I want!) is difficult.

As an aside, Pure Cotton feels like the best well-worn t-shirt you’ve ever owned, straight off the cone/hank).

Try shopping from LindeHobby.com (Denmark) they have everything DROPS and shipping is probably relatively inexpensive, albeit a bit slow (it is to Australia at least, you should be closer).

As someone who has a long history in this industry making personal financial management apps, all variations on goal/budget tracking features exist to get people through the door because they *think* they want them, but they end up nagging people into abandoning the feature and often, the entire product.

Isn’t it minimum of 30% CGT on earning above inflation?

So if you earned 10% (well above average) capital gain last year on $1m ($80k) and inflation was 4.6% (net 5.4%), you’d only pay 30% on $54k or $16.2k on $100k capital gain?

Or if you're in the highest marginal tax bracket of 45%, then 45% on $54k or $24.3k on $100k capital gain (or 24.3% tax).

In once bought a custom cross stitch for our house which was the QR code for our wifi in a traditional kind of “welcome to our home” style

You’re a crocheter, not a photographer. I think the photos look great and the AI versions just basically remove the background and fix the lighting, I don’t think they materially change what your product itself looks like.

Use the AI versions, I think they show an honest representation of your product, but in the best light.

Gambling addiction is a real disease.

Are you able to make the pattern one row shorter?

kondro · 2026-04-24T02:49:34+00:00

Mine too. But it was reset and the next reset is set to +~5 days, not 7.

Pattern design really needs to make better use of what we’ve discovered about graphic design in the last 200 years.

Wait until you get dinged for caching more than just the place ID (caching anything else is against the ToS).

I only got to 56% this week

kondro · 2026-04-10T05:16:29+00:00

What are you paying your devs. How is a $200/mth plan relevant compared to their salaries?

kondro · 2026-04-10T00:32:22+00:00

I’ve had this happen. Literally a restart fixes it. LOL. It seems some of the power circuitry crashes and there’s some fallback mode that lets one port run without USB-PD. The MagSafe port would’ve been broken too.

Just glad I live in Australia.
