I've proposed using Let's Encrypt but my coworkers believe there would be a perception issue with us using a "free" TLS certificate provider. I work for a popular internet search engine so it's a reasonable worry.

It just seems like LE has the most efficient automatic renewal setup, though I haven't looked in detail at other providers.

I'm that poor bastard engineer at my company. This likely will be the push we need to prioritize automation. Dealing with manual renewals with Digicert has been a pain in the ass. If anyone has experience with their automated option I'd love to hear it.

I'm lucky enough to live in a place with a lot of local, organic eggs. $4/dozen at my grocery store

I've had the same bottle of cologne that my grandma gave me when I was 16....I'm in my 30s

My 2009 Outback Wagon died on me this past summer 😭😭😭

We've had a ton of rain the past few summers too. Not only does the grass grow quickly, it also means the lawn stays wet longer making it tougher to mow(especially on your own schedule).

Interesting putting the front wheels lower helps, I would have thought the opposite. I'll have to try that.

It's so frustrating that if you buy a modern car you have to give up any semblance of privacy

That'll show those pesky liberal natives

How's it do on hills? I have one that's AWD but it still takes forever to do my whole yard. I have about a 1 acre plot that's very hilly so it takes me ~1.5 hours.

Pro tip: Keep a log of your work in a text file. I write a few bullet points for each day and on Friday write a "Next Week" section for my todos on that following Monday. Helps reduce the cognitive load of trying to remember what the hell you were about to do next.
