Babysitting is the big one for me. I can eat cheaper, but I can't really get a cheaper babysitter. My wife used to babysit for 5 bucks an hour just 10 years ago, and high school aged girls now want 20 an hour minimum. We're not talking "professionals" and my cost of going out is now at least 60-80 bucks without acting else.

> how do I log in on a device that I don't own?

You scan the qr code from your phone and it logs you in on that device. The experience is pretty amazing, honestly.

Passkeys are great in that its turning login support on websites into simple "autheticate your device to seamlessly login". My biggest gripe is that it seems Apple/Google are using this to consolidate control into their own password ecosystems and don't support password managers as a store for passkeys.

You're confusing the price of electricity with the price of solar panels and/or installation, which is what parent comment intended.

Saw this in a PR review yesterday. Reviewer made comments about the reasonableness of a solution and alternatives to consider. Submitter posted an LLM response that gives zero additional context about the PR. As the submitter, you should be the one with the context, not the reviewer, and having an LLM answer doesn't provide that additional context.

Does the name come from the farsi word "chert"?

International men's day isn't a thing in the US either, so that's not surprising. Contrast to Mother's/Father's Day, which are.
