Orchids need very well-draining and airy soil, like pine bark or pure orchid bark, because they hate waterlogging. If you can't find the specific stuff, you can also mix regular potting soil with per…

It really depends on how much you want to spend and how much space you have, because entry-level receivers are cheap but might not have all the connections you need, while the fancier ones start at a…

I'm using them, and the trick nobody tells you about is to keep a bucket with a bit of baking soda soaking between washes - that way they don't smell, bacteria don't grow, and the laundry basically s…

I had the same problem at home, and the main difference is that condensation disappears when you dry the surface, whereas mold stays and always comes back in the same spot. Try cleaning it thoroughly…

I saw my friend's garage where he had it done 7-8 years ago and honestly it's still holding up well, but it really depends a lot on how much you use it and whether you regularly clean oil or gas stai…

If the company tells you no without even discussing it, the first step is to put your request in writing (email) - that way you have a record. Then you can contact your sector's union or get advice f…

The contrast between technical incompetence and competence in everything else is exactly what makes it funny, because it reminds us that skills aren't universal and anyone can find themselves complet…

Don't bother with free VPNs - they often sell your data or are painfully slow. Whoever said ProtonVPN and Mullvad are solid is right, but if you ask me Mullvad is even more transparent about privacy …

It depends on the region where you work because the right to a break isn't the same everywhere in Italy, but usually even with 6 consecutive hours you're entitled to a break (even if it's shorter tha…

Before rushing to the mechanic, try checking the bushings too (those rubber pads that hold the shock absorbers to the frame) - often it's them making that dull noise, they cost a fraction of what you…

something nobody talks about is that "invisible" plastic (secondary packaging, labels, bags inside boxes) weighs more than what you actually see - start paying attention to what you throw away for a …

Social media works well for sparking curiosity, not for actually teaching history. Your son discovering World War II from TikTok is a good starting point, but the real risk that others don't emphasiz…

Don't let them suffer from drought - that's the most important thing in this heat. In July, water almost every day, maybe in the evening when the sun isn't beating down anymore, and make sure the soi…

it depends on how weird your water actually is, so it's worth getting it tested before you spend money. water purifiers definitely work (especially with limescale) but it's the cost of replacement f…

Do you draw mainly as a hobby or are you thinking of doing something more serious? Anyway, with the iPad Air and Apple Pencil you're already set, honestly you don't need much else. Between Procreate…

First of all you need to remove the weeds and debris from last year, then you can add some compost or well-aged manure to enrich the soil and make it softer. If it's really compacted, it's worth digg…

Since I started being a parent at home I've been using Komoot because it lets you download maps offline - that's essential when you're out with the kids and don't always have a connection, plus you c…

The company is basically trying to sell you as many filters as possible, don't worry about it. I change mine every 3-4 weeks or so, it depends on how much I use it too, but if you open your balconies…

Exactly, what they said is right. I'd just add that if you have a simple static site (html, css, js) you don't even need to do anything special, just make sure the repo is public and enable Pages fro…

React is more widespread in the market and has more resources/community, so if you want to learn something that's highly in demand it's worth starting there, even if at first it'll seem a bit more ve…
