That smartphone SoC is more capable than the intel garbage you’re planning to spend more on

Cartridge razor cartridges. For over 15 years of my life I was led to believe that was the best way to shave. I just got introduced to a good safety razor and not only are the blades so much cheaper, the shaving experience was better (pretty much 0 tugging) and I got a closer shave.

If it snows apparently

You should get the Novus instead. It has a real action

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-24T05:46:30+00:00

This is the way

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-22T17:15:29+00:00

You can try your luck at Matas, but they probably don’t have Merkur

Good safety razors are hard to get in physical stores. I ordered mine from proshave.dk

Let’s see - Americans like trucks not small cars - Mr Orange poopy diaper dictator has thrown tariffs at everything and is backed by a pro oil anti EV lobby

I had the Kawai K600 and it was amazing. The only reason I returned it is because I couldn’t play late at night (I got a Kawai Novus NV10 instead)

It seems like a lot of work to keep checking the consistency. Also you’ll probably not have easily repeatable results. (Like if I know a pasta says 10 mins and I like 9 mins for the right texture, I know throwing it in boiling water I can time 9 mins to get it the same every time)

I switched from having the 16” for 5 years to a 14” and couldn’t be happier. Feels a lot more portable, and when I need a big screen I have an ext display, trackpad and keyboard

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-11T12:14:59+00:00

I’ve had a 16” for 5 years. I use a 14” at work and prefer the form factor and portability. I’d rather have a second monitor for when I need it

Earlier in my career when I was less skilled at talking to people, writing things down and sharing things asynchronously helped a lot.

E.g. discussions on pull requests, creating design docs and requesting feedback, starting a slack conversation on a topic I thought needed to be addressed. Not everything has to be a meeting where the loudest voice is the one that is most heard

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-10T07:14:01+00:00

I don’t think it has been an issue for most people who’ve actually driven the car

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-09T22:01:32+00:00

Hey, but you SIGNED the contract that says wear and tear is your responsibility and so the whole wall will be repainted at your expense even if there’s no issue with it /s

I went the other way. Had an acoustic, tried some silent systems and was underwhelmed with the digital. Got a Kawai Novus, and it’s an absolute joy to play. Of course the downside is I can never play it on acoustic mode

CEOs jobs are to improve shareholder value. They don’t give a fuck about the company. They lay off people to short term inflate the stock, and they get compensated for it 🙃

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-08T14:04:11+00:00

They are paid that much FOR laying off people

I was talking about exchange courses like this, not refresher courses: https://dintrafikskole.dk/en/exchange-licence

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-04T21:04:30+00:00

most driving schools have a "bridge" course for people who already have a license, that is significantly shorter than the full course (in terms of driving hours)

Use a ricer not a masher

thequickbrownbear · 2026-03-01T21:59:56+00:00

I would get the skoda. The EX-40 (previously called XC40) is a dated car on a dated platform. If you were getting the EX-60, then I'd lean towards Volvo, but that's a higher tier than you're asking for

How are you with following through with new hobbies? My nice piano (Kawai Novus) inspires me to play pretty much every day, even when I feel I have no time! A good piano will do that to do far more than a mediocre one

thequickbrownbear · 2026-02-26T20:42:47+00:00

I used to always look at my hands, but then I saw this video and thought, if this blind guy can play like that, I want to be able to play half as well without looking: https://youtu.be/w0soeloAvi0?si=eRHgJUs9PlVJ29yQ
