I would personally not want to seat in those planes in those 2 months.

nothing worse than rushing a fix in production - only to find out the fix has caused more damage than the original bug

Lol the second I saw the antigravity release I thought "there's no way I'm using that, they will kill it within a year". Looks like they're trying to kill it at birth.

agree but at the same time there's not too much lock in with these IDEs these days and switching is very easy. Especially since they're all VSCode forks

It’s very normal here in Portugal. If you looked carefully and weren’t picky about the brands, you could have 6 mini-splits installed for $3000 all-in.

Parent mentioned $600 for the install. I live in Portugal as well, paid around $500 for ~one~ mini split A/C install

For comparison, I just bought a house here in Japan. Installed 6 minisplit heat pumps across various rooms in the house. All together it cost me 750,000 yen ($5,000) for the hardware and 90,000 yen ($600) for the install.

Do you mean 6 A/C units ? I. e. 6 outdoor and indoor units

regardless, this is incredibly cheap

While on the topic, I'm looking for some AR / VR platform to help with my child (11 yo) severe flight anxiety.

Does anyone have any recommendations on the matter ? would be super helpful as we have a flight coming soon (2 months) and I can already see her anxiety levels rising.

I've been using it to create an RSS feed of all the real estate companies websites in my area to get a competitive edge when new properties are being published.

Works great

I started having tinnitus right after a COVID infection.

it's not too bad, only one ear and it comes and goes pretty quickly.

For me the COVID correlation is 100%, but I haven't found too much literature about it and wonder if anyone experienced it as well

No, I mean the machines that now handle cash payments at many businesses, accepting cash and returning change.

They're increasingly common here in Portugal, at least.

ah got it. these are mostly mechanical I think and are offline / dumb device as far as I know

Somewhat tangential (sorry), but in my part of southern Europe, cash change machines seem to be getting close to ubiquitous.

I wonder if that hinders tax evasion at all since there's presumably a pretty reliable paper trail of cash transactions.

You mean ATMs ? It is still harder to prove where the cash you took out of the ATM went to in comparison to card payments, but yeah, if you take a big amount of cash out of the ATM then it would be easy to flag you
