  Thanks, I’ve had a look over your spreadsheet and see a lot of better choices for purely $/data.

  I’m lucky to have wifi access most of the time so my primary concern was being frugal with an acceptable amount of data included.
  I’m still salty about the Optus breach so I won’t use their network.

  Outside of plans, there is also great value with Boost 12-month prepaid if you can plan for a big one-off payment per year. I originally chose it due to having better coverage than other providers (uses the full Telstra network) and low per month cost for primarily call/sms usage.

  I’m currently on a $230 recharge for 12mo/160Gb, making this $19.20/month or $1.44/Gb. Due to change in avail plans, next recharge will be $300 for 12mo/240Gb (calculates to $25p/mo $1.25/Gb)

  For sure, I wouldn’t enter into canning without a serious amount of research and preparation.

  I’m a cheapskate with this, ended up just cleaning out pickle jars when they are used up and reusing them until the lid seal degrades. Apparently with new replacement jar lids they can be used for longer term canning, I only use them for leftover meals.

  Could it be a route cache thing? may be worth trying artisan route:clear followed by artisan route:cache

  Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.

  From zed.dev/blog/we-have-to-start-over

  We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we’d shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it’s no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.

  …

  the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can’t imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don’t know.

  I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don’t want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.

  Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:

  • Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
    • zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
    • the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
    • easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
  • Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don’t spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
    • printers don’t always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
  • find/replace for text notes
    • the software doesn’t have that feature.

  I’ll do it for things that don’t _seem _ like it will save much, but because it was such an infrequent task I would forget how all the cogs worked when it needed to be done again, and what pitfalls to avoid. So it’s not just direct time saved, but also increasing reliability.

  Pro tip - Simply eat a light meal of shirataki noodles, around 200 Cal. With any luck you can form your very own bezoar and rid yourself of this adiction for the rest of your life.
