  • It’s wild to think a machine which is built to detect alcohol in your breath is less reliable than a human interpreting the dance of another human. “The breathalyzer showed 0.07 but I let them do the dance and it looked more like a 0.09 to me, so I took them in.”

    And for anyone claiming other substances will not show in a breathalyzer but the dancing. That’s what swab tests are for. Collect sample, let chemicals do their thing and decide on wether the indicator turned red or green, with way less interpretation needed than an arbitrary dance.

















  • We manage our “food inventory” with Grocy which calls itself “the ERP beyond your fridge”. It basically tracks every single purchase and consumption of food and also each items best before date. It needs a bit initial setup and you need to remind yourself to checkout stuff you consume but then it’s just great. Not a single item spoiled because it got pushed too far back on the shelf. And since Grocy knows how much of what item we want in stock, it automatically writes our shopping lists with stuff which is about to run out.

    So the shopping is basically day to day as we return from work and pass the store just ticking things off the list. And we made a rule for ourselves to only buy the stuff on the list, nothing extra to avoid impulse purchases.
