Based on the few countries I know the stats of on this map, its percentage of people that own their home (vs renting)

Not a Coca Cola fan, but why? If it’s made in Germany, it should be okay to say that

Yes sort of I think. I use it often when I want to edit multiple lines at the same time e.g. adding the same prefix at the beginning of every line or in the same cursor position on every line.

You can pry my em dashes — that I’ve been using for more than a decade — from my cold dead hands

In vim it invokes vertical visual selection (visual block mode)

I know someone who is as well! They get a rash/hives. What about you?

Don’t companies typically cover visa costs when it comes to highly skilled work? Still makes a difference but I imagine less considering the proportionately high salaries anyway

Did you even try to read the summary? They don’t work at Google

How’s that the same? Neither is directly executable (though people have tried) and doesn’t create tech debt

Why not say ‘2-3 cm’ for the first one? Or ‘a couple centimeters’? It doesn’t feel too different from saying ‘about an inch’ to me

How do you sign it then?

 

Got an old bike that has this piece in between the crankset and the frame. It’s very loose and keeps rolling around and getting in the way of the chain when I pedal. How can I remove it or make it stay fixed in one place?

 

Ah, to live in those times!

 

I’m trying to move away from Telegram. I have the iOS app but don’t see any option for downloading my chats or photos and videos sent to me. Has anyone done this recently and can give some pointers?

 
 

I’m thinking of making something similar to these stackable shelves. But I want to do it using hand tools only so it seems plywood is out of the question (searching online said it would damage my Japanese hand saw). So I’m looking at solid wood instead and getting pine hobby boards that I won’t have to plane seems to be the easiest and cheapest alternative. The shelves will mostly hold records and books and the largest will probably be 30x30x75cm but stacked on other shelves. Am I in for a bad time?

 

I’m planning to make some floating shelves 150 cm wide and 30 cm deep.

I want to mount them on a wall that has a plasterboard of thickness 13mm behind which is a plywood backing of 15mm according to the details provided by the contractor (see the attached image). This construction was apparently intended for hanging TVs and they recommend using wood screws that are not longer than 30mm.

One of the shelves will have my record collection which could weigh between 25-50kg. What are some options for hardware I can use to mount the floating shelves?
