domain names are like $8/year and you have a lot more control over your own website.

spending that PER MONTH for an account on a dying app that can disappear any moment is a rip-off

Anyone have opinions about where to place outdoor faucets on a house? I'm realizing I haven't had outdoor space in so long that I don't have any recent frustrations with outdoor hoses to draw from!

Is the answer just, "everywhere"?

@aaronpk Hadn't previously thought about this but this comes to my mind!
Enough locations where you can reach most areas around the house with a 25ft or 50ft (depending on which you want to wrangle) hose.

Good point! I don't really want to carry around a 50' hose so I should double check 25' everywhere.

@aaronpk we built a house 3 years ago. I wished I had placed more outdoor faucets and more outdoor outlets. Also, if you are doing new construction, plan ahead for power for mounted spot lights and/or cameras around the outside of the house.

Yep, new construction! And yes I am absolutely filling it with cameras and lights!

@aaronpk at least 2 in polar opposite locations! Depending on the footprint of your build, you may want one per compass point.
Pro-hack: I had friends run both hot and cold water to their garage interior. LOTS of interesting possibilities with that one! Utility sink, bike/car washing, etc.

Yeah! The contractor suggested running hot water to one of the outdoor ones near where we're going to store bikes!

@aaronpk sweet. Another suggestion that we are super very happy with: put outlets in corners high up inside the house for Sonos everywhere :)

nice, was definitely planning on high up outlets. I've still never actually used Sonos before but I keep hearing good things. I'm usually skeptical of things that feel proprietary like it, but maybe it's ok?

Someone asked me recently, what is one quality that is career limiting that many people don't realize is career limiting?

My answer? Being unable to deal with ambiguity. The more senior you get, the more there are is no right answer or plan figured out. That's your job.

Why do stopped escalators feel so different from stairs?

I'm pretty sure stopped escalators aren't actually stopped, they are moving very slowly in reverse

@aaronpk @hawaiiboy @circustiger @tracydurnell These are the best hoses I’ve ever had.

I'm so glad hose technology has improved in the 15 years since I last bought a hose!

@aaronpk We have three and it’s just right, though the size of the property and placement of gardens will matter. Wherever you put them, make sure you can readily access shutoff valves, which you want even for frost-free faucets.

ok I just learned about frost-free faucets and that is super cool. Why do I want shutoff valves also?
