I was a greenkeeper for a while as well, luckily we just started at 6.00 to finish at 11.00ish. Some people would show up early but because we were starting at hole 9 and 18 and going backwards it was no big deal.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm trying protonmail now and the aliases are really nice, too bad you have to set them up in Proton pass though, that app is not as good as bitwarden. Only downside so far is that all emails end up in the same inbox, so I have to do some extra sorting and labelling to get things organised.

The discussion got derailed a bit in the privacy aspect. I think Proton mail has pretty good privacy(good enough for me). I don't think they will get a court order to release my emails any time soon. It's good to know they offer some protection against mass surveillance and don't sell your data for marketing.

That's a good tip, I already used that for invoices and order updates on my work mail. But I could also do that for my personal mail.

In the Netherlands we don't have this kind of thing. I don't know at what age you have a science fair? At age 4-12 you don't really have stuff you don't really have homework, except if you're lagging behind with your work. So all activities will be done at the school, sometimes they ask a parent to help with extracurricular activities. We don't really have a science fair. Closest thing would be a "spreekbeurt" which would translate as oral presentation. You pick a topic you like and explain what it's about. I think many parents help with the preparation for that. But you would have trouble answering the questions if your parents did everything.

At age 12-17 you get more beta courses, chemistry, physics, geography. You can pick a track that best suits your interests/aptitude. They focus on economics, social studies and art, nature and health or nature and technology. You get advanced courses that fit that track and more entry level courses for the rest. In your last year you have to write a paper with some field research on a topic that fits your track. Still not really like a science fair though.

Still no autocad on Linux. Freecad works, but importing dwg files from autocad, which almost everyone uses, is always messy.

Manual drives are more common here, when you brake on the engine 4 wheels are decelerating instead of 2 so that could help.

I have no idea, it's an old email I used for a lot of services before I knew about email aliases like Mozilla relay.

Like I said, most of them are useful once, like a shipping notification or a sign in security code. But most of the time I just copy the code from the desktop notification and leave the email. I don't know why so many services moved from a password based login to email security codes, it's annoying that's for sure.

I'll try to set up some filters to delete them after a day.

 

I've got two domain names set up for work and personal email, but I'm absolutely drowning in unread emails, around 4,000. Most are those annoying notifications like "Your security code is xxx," "Your parcel has shipped," and requests to rate my experience.

Right now, I've been trying out Inbox Zero with an old Gmail account. It's cool, but honestly feels a bit overkill and only works with Gmail and Outlook. I switched to my own domains to get away from Google in the first place!

So, I’m on the hunt for an email provider that has solid SPAM filters and can create a priority inbox without all the pesky notification clutter. Bonus points if it supports custom domains.

Any suggestions?

I carry a No 12 for work most of the time, when I pull that one I get a few frowns. It's great for cutting baguettes though, or splitting kindle...

Could just be my client but the image is so pixelated and the resistors are quite small. So it took me a while to see as well.

What about crawfish though?

Only thing I would be scared of is ethidium bromide on your food, but that probably wouldn't be measured on a kg scale.

For me a Pomodoro timer works well. 25 minute task, 10 minute break, repeat. But to be honest I did spend the day playing dwarf fortress till 16:00, then rushing the task I had alloted the entire day for in 90 minutes.

Hi,

We will be staying in Cortina d'Ampezzo this week for our honeymoon. We were planning on doing a lot of outdoor activities, hikes, via ferrata etc. So far the weather predictions are not great. I know they are not very reliable in the mountains, but just in case we would like to have some backup plans. Any suggestions?

Grazie!
