Yeah. I retired a year ago, every now & then I say to myself “I’m sure I had a script for that…” bit then I can’t find it of course, which makes me sad.

Oh & I used to sign in to GitHub with a username & password, then GitHub said I needed to change my password, and emailed me a link to my old work address, which I can no longer access.

So I’m going to have to fork my own stuff!

I’ve noticed that whenever there’s a group of people together, someone will be the leader, it doesn’t matter who the group are, there will be a leader & everyone will know it.

Now that leader has a choice to be a bully, or someone who tries not to be a leader.

So yes we absolutely need to train our kids what good (inclusive) leadership looks like, so they can either follow those people, or be those people.

I guess it’s more likely the list was drawn up before paramedic was a thing, and then no one thought to change it. The low effort option.

Yeah - this is exactly why you should reverse park. When you come out again into potentially a stream of traffic, if you reverse park, you’re coming out forwards, you can see them & they can see you. If you forward park you have literally no idea what you’re backing out into.

The only paid app I’ve got is Sound Profile. Puts the phone on quiet (except for family) at night, or silent (with auto resume to normal) in meetings. It’s on my & spouse’s phones.

Yeah, shout out for rsync also. It’s awesome. Combine it with ssh & it feels pretty secure too.

A long time ago I was repairing my dad’s camera, I found an article describing the exact fault & a link to how to fix it, but the link was dead.

Used the wayback machine to find a text only copy of the fix (no pictures) which was enough.

Was immensely proud that someone had had the idea to invent the IA & have been recommending it ever since.

Edit: I dumbly misread your post (energy/electricity) & thought of this, which I will leave here because it made me smile & that’s a good thing.

Not sure if this counts (as a car), but it was a three wheeler (Reliant Robin), gutless and rattly, all the fun of going 50 mph without breaking the speed limit. All the engine weight was directly on the front wheel, so the back end (no weight at all) would slide out wonderfully around corners.
