    Wouldn't it be cool if had a service like ? Pay for the postage online and get a printable stamp. Web app UX: type in the recipient address. Estimate the weight (num of sheets of paper). Download a printable envelope where stamp = QR code.

    Bought stamps online today from SIngPost. Pros: free delivery of my order, as you would expect. Cons: they pretty much admit they expect to screw it up lol

    You'll know it's working when starts showing where you've been. To turn it on, give Google Maps privileges to track your location all the time: settings / personal content / location history. You can scrub it later.

    If you’re a digital prepper thinking about contact tracing: you may want to turn on Google Maps location tracking so it can build a timeline of where you’ve been. For privacy considerations see thread.

    I hadn’t even thought yet about the degree of digital surveillance that may have kicked in. Forget traditional epidemiological contact tracing. For every infected, the Chinese government can pull up their location history and find every other cellphone that was nearby.

    Here's a crazy idea to make De Beers mad: You know all that money you're planning to spend on an engagement ring? Put it toward therapy instead to make you a better spouse

    Are quarantines and travel bans an overreaction to ncov2019? If it mutates from a 2% CFR to a 20% CFR, and no containment measures were applied, governments will be blamed for not having done more.

    To learn more: This book teaches knife skills and sharpening technique: has a major knife fetish, with nearly a dozen articles on the subject:

    I have also previously enjoyed the Misen knife, the latest entrant on the scene: I found it a little too light and food tended to stick to the blade, but it works well and is likely to be the sharpest knife in almost any drawer.

    These above basics are all you need to reset most any knife to better than factory edge, on par with a straight razor. Completists may want to get an old-fashioned whetstone, e.g. a 1000/6000:

    The step before the Sharpmaker: (once per decade) coarse sandpaper for quickly resetting a badly dinged-up edge (usually for friends' old knives) (in fact you can do it all with just sandpaper; see this 1995 Usenet post. )
