That Corsa was my first ever car. Took it on a road trip to London and it broke down there and back after screaming on the motorway for 5 hours. Miss that thing

I miss Edinburgh a lot. Lived there for a couple years. Beautiful city.

Nope! Totally agreed. I donโ€™t want some futuristic looking thing with a giant touch screen interface. Just a regular looking car with actual buttons and an electric motor. Iโ€™m hoping things change by the time Iโ€™m ready to buy an EV but doubt it

Love it - wanted to do the same for 3D printed cable management parts but didnโ€™t want to have to learn openscad, your repo is great inspiration

How vital is it to validate the # of digits after the decimal point, or can you just let it round during INSERT? If you can then min(0) and max(999.99) is what Iโ€™d do. Only other thing I can think of is a regex rule, but not sure if that rule would cast the number to a string before evaluating ๐Ÿค”

I'm actually incredibly impressed that it managed to properly add text

10 mins is definitely not enough time to melt ice on a windshield, speaking from experience haha. Next car I buy a heated windshield will be a requirement

Ooo I went go karting the other day with petrol karts, but the fumes really did me in ๐Ÿ˜… electric ones sound like a blast, do theu accelerate faster?

I switched back to a regular looking email because of this, I found that lots of customer support people would think itโ€™s an invalid email, or Iโ€™d have trouble communicating the โ€œnope .me is realโ€ part

So, pay check comes in, you immediately assign it to categories for future spending. If you assign your money as itโ€™s spent, itโ€™s really nothing more than a glorified spreadsheet.

But if youโ€™re interested in YNAB to begin with you probably know all of that already :)

Everyone else covered some good tips. Only tip I have is YNAB only works well when you fully adopt the zero based budgeting technique. If youโ€™re only reactive (categorizing after you spend) you wonโ€™t see much value in it. You really gotta be proactive (categorize before spending) to see the value

Is it multiplayer? If not Iโ€™d agree, make it client-driven as much as possible. If it is I think take a page from other online multiplayer games, have the client be as opportunistic as possible to reduce lag but have โ€œimportantโ€ decisions (like hit reg in an FPS) be done on the server

I love Costco but honestly I avoid it most of the time because itโ€™s an absolute zoo every time I go, and people LOOOVE to dawdle
