Period tracking app options?

Reply in thread

Besides ease of use and the practicality of having it at hand at all times, these apps show you important stats like longest time between periods, average time between periods, current time since last period. Same with length of period. All useful stats for you, your doctor, and potentially your partner if you’re trying for a baby.

How many keurigs would I need to daisy chain together to replace a water heater in an average house?

Reply in thread

I read once that if you’re trying to get some creativity juices flowing, removing unnecessary details will allow for more abstract thought. Like “write a story about an ogre” would lead to very different stories than “write a story about an ogre doing pushups”, even if the latter is probably arguably more funny.

So that was my thinking here about being a bit vague, I was specifically talking about tankless water heaters which got us on the subject though.

What are your favorite split-screen co-op PC games?

It’s not co op but head to head. But if you haven’t played duck game, I feel like you are missing out on some of the best local multiplayer pc has to offer.

If that’s too competitive, try Ultimate Chicken Horse - if you want some incentive watch a guy named Northernlion play it on YouTube

Next on the semi co op is Crawl although it’s still a little competitive, I can’t do it justice by describing it but it’s great, videos will do better to describe it.

If co-op is a must, I second divinity.

Monthly billing?

The discount in price is the only benefit of the two year plan from what I saw. They can offer this discount because they can get the lump sum of money in one go. This is the idea of the time value of money, a lump sum now is greater than an equal amount later.

It makes little sense to offer a month to month plan at the same price with a contract in place, because now there’s the overhead of the contract on top of everything else.

So your best option is likely to stick with the month to month price, unfortunately.

Why is the human option (-h) not default?

I think it’s two reasons - first is that human readable formats are less specific, so three files that are “3gb” in size look the same, so it may be hiding information that it knows about

The second is that commands are very often used as parts of larger scripts, where human readability may not matter as much, or may not be applicable until the very last command when the output is actually shown.

Between these, and the fact that most commands try not to predict what your use case is, I think that having a -h option is going to be the norm going forward as well rather than having it as the default
