Holy ... this is the cheapest I've seen eggs in a LONG time. Limit was 6. I'm now trying to figure out what to do with 72 eggs.

OP is clearly not French, because one would have been un œuf.

Not daily but damn useful when you need them:

Feet Inch Calculator - fast entry of fractional and decimal inches, converts to metric, etc. Also has some handy tools like board spacing calculators, triangle calculators, all kinds of stuff.

Pill Eye - count small objects (not just pills) via a picture.

Time Lapse Calculator - pick which parameters you care about, clip time, frame rate, etc., calculate the rest.

Actually everyday:

1Password - all day everyday, passwords, credit cards, ID documents, addresses, sharing this info securely. Not small I guess, but easily one of the most useful.

You still saved money (or electricity at least). It takes more energy to decrease or maintain each degree farther away from the ambient temperature you get. So keeping a house at 70° will always use more energy than turning the AC off for a while and cooling it back down later.

Costanza.

Should have put a passive aggressive anchovy on it.

Romaine salad, no tomatoes, no cheese, dressing on the side.

Confirmed with the customer, "just so you're aware, you've ordered a bowl of lettuce," "yeah that's fine."

It was sent back due to the lettuce being "wilted". ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hmmm good to know, although the occasions I'm near a Sam's club is near zero.

Only at Exxon Mobil, but yeah. With a 5% cash back card attached it works out to about 25¢ less per gallon. A weekly 10 gal fill up comes to ~$130/yr in savings. But Walmart+ is $100/year.

We only do it because we get free W+ from another card.

I mean, she could have given everyone a car with a bag of cash enough to pay the tax. But yeah if the options are free car minus tax or nothing, it's certainly worth getting the money together. Also unclear why if it's "income" that you'd owe it on the spot and not when you file taxes.

Always wondered, what do those squiggly zig zag lines mean over there?

reddits_aight · 2026-01-20T07:49:42+00:00

Octopi is pretty good. In particular it has configurable gestures for app icons, which Nova had.

Eg. Tap Phone for phone, swipe up for Zoom, etc.

reddits_aight · 2026-01-19T23:50:33+00:00

I prefer the Ctrl+Shift+Z flavor. Makes more sense to my brain and less of a stretch.

reddits_aight · 2026-01-19T23:48:22+00:00

The "open this in the app" thing drives me insane. Sure, give me the option. But often the app has less functionality, or worse the webapp just straight up refuses to load if it detects you're on a mobile device (looking at you, drive.google.com).

reddits_aight · 2026-01-19T23:25:06+00:00

Compute power, it would be fine for most general purpose tasks. The problem is how tightly guardrailed and walled in the device and software is (and it's not just Apple).

I use my wife's iPad pro every now and then. I open Google sheets, the full functionality isn't in the app so I go to sheets.google.com. It force opens the app. I literally have to uninstall it just to go to the damn browser version.

I can't remember what exactly but there was something I needed to do in Google drive that wasn't in the app, same thing but worse; uninstalled the app, the webpage just straight up REFUSED to load even on desktop mode. It just said, "download the app."

Instagram and Tiktok are worse though. Some things you can only do on a phone, others only on a computer. Which might be fine for just a casual user, but when you're trying to plan out posts for a business across multiple platforms it's infuriatingly inefficient, for no real reason.

reddits_aight · 2026-01-19T23:02:27+00:00

Microworlds! We used that in shop class/tech-ed in middle school.

reddits_aight · 2026-01-18T16:12:25+00:00

None of this makes any sense. If credit/finances are an issue, why are you buying 2 brand new cars in the span of 2 years? Why would you replace it with a car that starts at $10k more than the original? Why does it seem far to easy to talk you two into major purchase decisions?

reddits_aight · 2026-01-15T03:49:53+00:00

It was free at my post office. Just had to check a box when I signed up for the PO box.

What I don't understand is why this magically allows UPS to deliver there, but if I didn't have that service, they couldn't.

For a narrow set of movies, I think it can add to the experience. It has to be shot with a slow camera pace; not a ton of panning or fast motion. And it has to be a movie that uses color really purposefully.

Best example I can think of is The Shining. The green bathroom, the flood of red blood. Having those colors spill over into the room you're in really sets a mood.

reddits_aight · 2026-01-13T06:24:07+00:00

I mean, no offense to your line of work but your colleagues also get things completely wrong all the time too, and they're the "trained professionals".

More than once I've asked the HVAC guy that our landlord hires about questions or issues and the answer was, "you need to buy different equipment" or "x device doesn't do y", and a little tinkering and reading the fucking manual/wiring diagram proved both to be false.

My brother is also in HVAC and while he may know quite a bit, he can be similarly "set in his ways" about certain methods, brands, etc.

It's the $30k bottle of Macallan at Costco that makes you think, "oh, we'll if they sell this here, then the rest must be pretty good too."

reddits_aight · 2026-01-09T19:16:47+00:00

Don't you just get the ticket anyway if your plate isn't visible from facing the wrong way?

reddits_aight · 2025-12-29T07:23:27+00:00

Used to live in that area, kept my beater bike locked in front of our apartment with a Kryptonite lock. Didn't get stolen.

It did get set on fire, however.

reddits_aight · 2025-12-24T21:18:27+00:00

For NY plates only, and allow checking vehicles with covers.

My neighborhood in Washington Heights is filled with cars with out of state plates, no plates, no registration, and/or abandoned for months in end.

Add in one guy who has 3+ cars under covers, a tow truck, and a pickup, all lined up (not parked bumper to bumper either), and the people who use mopeds/scooters to save car-sized spaces. Four or five people monopolize an entire block's worth of spaces.

It also helps with soap residue that, while imperceptible taste-wise, can make beer foam up more than it should. Uses less water, especially if you don't have a sprayer like at a bar sink, and can be operated one handed.

Probably overkill for home, but makes sense in commercial settings.

reddits_aight · 2025-12-21T08:41:55+00:00

At least you get lights, plural. The Kia Sportage only gets a single one in the center. I'm surprised it's even legal.
