Owner of 2 pinecils here, there are buttons and a display that shows the current temperature and other stuff. I only just learned that there's an app, it works more than fine on its own, out of the box.

I got that specific iron because I needed to power it from 12v, and it works very well on the USB PD power supply I already have for my laptop.

Docker's secret that most "getting started" tutorials seem to miss is docker-compose.yml. Who wants to type these long-ass commands to start containers? I always just create a compose file, and then docker compose up -d.

Dockerfile is for developers, you shouldn't need more than a docker-compose.yml for self-hosting stuff.

Yeah, there's some stuff on the side, but get a can of chef boyardee, a sealed packet of crackers and a pop tart, and that's pretty much it. Add some Qwik and Gatorade powder for hydration, maybe. At 250$ per 12-pack it's more expensive than eating out.

I'm involved with the Canadian cadet program, and these are the exact ones we eat when we go on expédition, they're nothing fancy. They are convenient, though.

It's still basically canned food, it's just that the can is a pouch. It's more expensive too.

Well, someone did it at least partly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdPRhkbeQJk

Altough in this case it's to improve acceleration, not anything related to privacy.

That's exactly what I was saying a few comments up. There's a use-case for cars, and there needs to be a way to get into the city when you arrive by car. Any good solution will probably involve parking the car somewhere outside city limits, otherwise it'll probably be co-opted by suburbanites.

I'm not talking about commutes, I'm talking about going to the city for an appointment/shopping/conference/concert/sightseeing/etc.

But yeah, cycling the last mile works in the Netherlands between cities or suburbs because they are relatively well served by inter-city transit, but what about places like this random dairy farm . Can this guy just take his bike to downtown Amsterdam?

He meant 3/5 (the mother) plus 3/5 (the child), so a total of 6/5.

Canadian here. It really depends on if it's a cultural use or something the government might have an influence on through legislation. They can force industries to label packages in metric, but they can't force grandma to change her manually-transcribed recipes. The other big influence is obviously our neighbours to the south. A lot of industries haven't switched over there, and we get their products. Main culprit here would be the construction industry, lumber and hardware is all in US customary units and I hate it.

Something something dining philosophers.

Buttered white bread dipped in stew is the best way to eat bread. You should try it before you diss it

Québécois here. My mother in law served us something very similar for lunch today. It was very good!

Looks like we kept the french language but not the french cuisine...
