iFixIt recommends scotch-guarding your Fine Woven case
  • From Apple’s online store:

    Made from durable microtwill, the material has a soft, suedelike feel. The FineWoven material was also designed with the earth in mind - it's made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content and significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to leather.

  • Microsoft Edge, anyone?
  • I really respect this strategy but I could never get past one personal obstacle: what do you do if you want to click a link, say from an email? Do you switch browsers and copy paste the link? Or do you delve into the link in Edge? What if you eventually reach a website you wish you were logged into on Edge, but are already in Firefox?

  • What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
  • I find pointless bugs in video games. I can spend hours trying to platform in a single spot the game doesn’t expect, like jumping from a fence to a windowsill to lamp post to a canopy to a roof.

    I used to be a speedrunner and still have some of that blood in me, but I refuse to skip content in casual playthroughs. So the crazy part is if I find a way to skip an entire level, cool, time to go back and do it normally.

  • Shouldn't we be switching buses with light railway?
  • If you design your bus system like a light rail system without rails, you magically get most of the benefits for far less cost: https://youtu.be/fh1IaVmu3Y8

  • Aeropress—Can't be a BIFL community without a mention
  • I've had numbers wear off (never went by them anyway) and rubber gaskets wear down, but a $5 gasket replacement every several years still counts as BIFL for me. The plastic argument makes sense, although I haven't experienced it. They just changed their materials for the clear version, I wonder if that one is better.
