  • Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company’s security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.

    It’s honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.


  • EDIT: I’ve just done some quick research and it seems like stellarsan is a locally made equivalent to starsan in Australia. It’s probably so much cheaper just because it’s not an import.

    Starsan is a recognizable trusted brand. I know exactly what I’m getting when I buy starsan. I have never before heard of stellarsan and cannot vouch for how well it works. I will say that the fact they’ve specifically chosen a name that could feasibly be confused with the established brand does not bode well for their own legitimacy.

    That’s the reason for the price difference I would guess. Name recognition vs taking a gamble on some unknown brand

    If you must buy online because you don’t have a local homebrew store, I recommend only doing so through a reputable seller that specializes in brewing supplies. Amazon is not ideal, and I’m not sure if kegland can be trusted as I’ve never heard of them. Try to make connections with other brewers in your area and see where they are ordering things from. Sadly, from what I’ve heard Australia is not the easiest place to source…well, anything from lol






  • If there’s one thing I’ve learned having and caring for many cats over the last 30 years, they’ve all got their quirks. Some were over eaters that would throw up almost daily. Some would be grazers and do just fine with their bowls full all day and night. No answer is going to be just right for every cat.

    If you have cats that eat at different paces, you might just have to feed them on a schedule in separate locations. That was the only way we could handle it when we had the same situation.


  • I am a lazy launderer and my partner has loads of clothes of various fabrics.

    My trick that has never let me down:

    wash everything on cold

    When rotating to the dryer, indiscriminately pick out any tops that don’t feel like regular “t shirt” fabric, pick out all bottoms that aren’t obviously cotton, pick out all wool, pick out all dresses, button up shirts, skirts, or “full body” garments as regardless of what fabric they feel like they tend to be more sensitive to the heat.

    The rest can go in the dryer, but hang dry all the stuff you picked out.

    I might end up hang drying more than I need to, but it beats the hell out of checking the tag on every individual garment.
