Sadly in the US many of the companies that control large amounts of housing are all using the same software to calculate how to all raise prices as much as possible every year without having people move out. Around 2010 I moved from a studio with a shared kitchen that was $650 to a one bedroom for $900. Those studios (20m2) now start at $1,000, and the one bedrooms (50m2) start at $2,240.

I'm not sure you could get a closet to sleep in for $700 in California at this point

I think if this is allowed it really needs to be tagged and clearly labled. If I come here looking for a product chances are I'm not going to have the skills, tools, or time to make it myself.

If self promotion is allowed I think it needs to be tagged as such.

I switched over almost exclusively to 16 pairs of darn tough women's solid basic crew socks (66% Merino Wool, 32% Nylon, 2% Lycra Spandex) in 2018. That set of socks is still holding up. The backs of the heels are starting to wear thin, but the only actual holes have been due to the dog.

The only reason I recently purchased different socks is that I found I benefit from compression socks, which darn tough does not make anymore. I got sockwell men's elevation socks (31% merino wool, 31% bamboo rayon, 30% stretch nylon, 8% spandex), which offer 20-30mmHg graduated compression. I have not owned them long enough to speak to their durability.

There's a comment at the end of the article explaining that the McDonald's machines are somewhat unique in having a nightly pasteurization process that allows them to go two weeks between cleanings instead of requiring nightly cleaning like other machines.

Listeria is a risk if ice cream machines are not properly maintained. Recent case linked to ice cream machines: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/20/us/tacoma-milkshake-listeria-deaths/index.html

Not that there are not clearly other issues at play. Just a couple important pieces of what's going on that were not covered in the article itself.

What features that you want are missing from the free versions of ticktick and todoist?

I'm currently using todoist and the 5 project limit is my main problem.
