> Since I'm too stupid and/or lazy to figure out how to clean my coffee machine

It's literally: pour vinegar where you would put water (don't use any filter or anything). Turn on. Let it go through. Run a few pots of plain water through after to clear out the vinegar from the lines.


That's why you run 4 or so pots of plain water through it afterwards.


If it's self hosted, you shouldn't care if it costs money. Let the person/org decide if they want to use it, just provide an interface for it. There are tons of free, self hosted apps that have tons of notification methods available. Radarr alone has 26 methods for notifications, none enabled by default. They include generic webhook, "custom script", and then there a number of specific ones where you put in the URL, API key, etc. and as the person hosting it things would go against my API count/bill. There's no need for you to be specific about Twilio, just have a notification framework with Twilio being one of the providers.


I think this may be generational. I'm GenX and growing up it was no big deal for my parent's generation (yes, the boomers) to have a drink a night. Even among people of my generation now it wouldn't be uncommon. Probably less than before, but I don't think anybody would think twice about a beer or a drink per day would be any big deal.


I went through school in the 70s and 80s and always had school lunch. I hardly saw anybody bring lunch to school. Maybe it was because of the schools I went to, but they were public schools. They were "good" schools though (some of the best in the major metro area), so maybe that changes things. In high school I honestly don't remember seeing anybody bring lunch, obviously people did, but it would have definitely been the super minority and definitely not common by any means.


The state of Minnesota, under Tim Walz, had all sorts of heavy handed, government mandated rules about things. According to the decree, people couldn't visit relatives, couldn't go to funerals, in reality, could not go out at all. It was ridiculous and over zealous.

Because it's decent and open late.

I have routinely gone to one where at 11pm and there's a line 15 deep. This isn't entirely made up of crappy cars either, ie. not the stereotypical "looking for cheap food" crowd, there's BMWs, Mercedes, and everything in between. This particular one is open late (5:30 AM) and I've gone there at 3:30AM on my way to the airport and there's lines then too.

Thanks to COVID shutdowns, there's not many 24 hour restaurants open anymore, so Taco Bell fills that void.


> I have yet to find one that supports tap to pay

Interesting. I haven't seen one in years that doesn't support it in the US. Most of the time even when I hand my card to a cashier because the terminal is by them, they tend to tap it.

I was at a Walgreens once where they had it disabled and the cashier sighed and said the manager disabled it because tap incurred a slightly higher processing fee than inserting the card. This was a couple of years ago and not sure if it's true, but that's what the cashier said the manager said.


> Notice how some airports (IAD, IAH) specifically have "International Airport" in their codes.

Since this is HN, we'll get ultra-pedantic...

IAH is technically "Intercontinental Airport of Houston", not "international" for some reason (full name is "George Bush Intercontinental Airport").


Look for a fiduciary or a for fee planner (not a commission based one). They don't have a stake in selling you specific things, they just charge a flat rate. Whether they're any good or not is a different story, but they aren't in the business to sell you anything other than their services.
