I've noticed this also. I'm originally an EE, so during my first job the department was basically made up of a bunch of wizards from the days of Electronics magazine who all were in to HAM radio and custom guitar amps. I learnt a

Having just now read about Rhododendron destroying habitats all around the UK, I'm inclined to tear it out. I'll play it by ear and just keep an eye on it for the moment. If it starts growing unruly I'll be sure to take my sh

Lavender seems to be a really popular flower for me too. It's also very hardy, and smells wonderful obviously so is a great choice all round.

Agreed. I would edit my comment but it's a little late now. Most of this list is for the UK, bar a few non-native that I added for looks/nectar production. If you're in the US or elsewhere, make sure to find what is native

It's a bit late to edit my comment now but yes, most of this list is native to the UK so if you're looking to do something in the US or elsewhere, check online or with your local gardening society to see what works for you.

I've planted the Lonicera periclymenum species, which is very much native to the UK. I'm also looking to plant the other type, Lonicera xylosteum, in the coming months. If you're in the US though I believe it could well be an

I believe they're native to the UK, but not the US. The plant was also rated in second place for per day nectar production per flower in a UK plants survey conducted by the AgriLand project which is supported by the UK Insect Pollinato

One or two on the list are non-native, simply because their nectar production was so good. Admittedly I've been relatively blasé when it comes to native vs non-native. My only requirements were that bees like it and it can grow in the

I'd describe mild as a lack of drastic change in temperature year around. We normally get temperatures between 0C and 20C, with a few outlier days (more so recently - lots of heat waves for obvious reasons...) This changes from North t

We had plenty of these species in our garden before. The lady bugs are an absolute menace and get everywhere! This list was just for particularly bee friendly species.

I recently added a load of "bee-friendly" high nectar plants to my garden. Until recently we thought it had been unsuccessful, and wrote it off as a failed experiment. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we suddenly couldn't w

I wonder how much data can be processed compared to a modern "hackable" system? My guess is close to nil. How much of it gets lost? How much of the paper is duplicated for backups? How much time is spent looking through filling ca

Hey, apologies for the late reply. No I couldn't get it functioning. I tried again at home using Firefox and it worked fine though, so it's either not compatible with IE11 or my company has blocked something related to it's w

No, but it was in the South. I have cycled around London and it's much, much more friendly for it. It's improved substantially in recent years. I think part of that is culture - people cycle in London, so drivers/pedestrians

Honestly, as silly as the book and most of the philosophy behind it is in my eyes, "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene can be quite helpful in playing the game with overtly controlling people. Often the correct path is just to

South of England. The town is also known as the worst place for cycle commutes outside London, which probably will single it out. We've probably got about 2k people across design, HR, head office and the factory floor, but of that I do

The BBC does not run ads, and as far as I'm aware does not use any sort of metric you described. It is tax-payer funded service. What they have been doing is copying "features" from other popular news websites, i.e. Buzzfeed,

Strongly disagree, depending how your commute is. In my office and on the factory floor we've had 3 major cycling accidents just in the last year - the latest guy was put into a coma for 2 weeks. I cycled for 6 months before I could af

The problem with this is that it then just suggests the content that hits the front page instead - so for the most part a load of crap. All I'm doing is swapping recommended videos on, say, metal casting, for YouTube's "on-br

Many newer blockchains use “Proof of Stake” (PoS) systems that rely on market incentives, instead of "Proof of Work" which is the energy hungry variety. Server owners on PoS systems are called “validators” — not “miners.” They pu

I think every office/home seems to have an air-con war between certain demographics. Our engineering company has started hiring more women, which I'm entirely for except for the fact the thermostat has seemingly crept up about 0.5

It would require conditions where those who are better adapted to higher temperature produce more offspring than those who aren't, consistently over many generations. The Nepalese would have developed this change over thousands, if not

If you're looking for some serious power, that system I described will still work. The Raspberry Pi is just there to control a relay to complete whatever circuit you're powering. You could get something like a Draper 56225, which

I highly recommend checking out Mark Zuckerburg's new podcast "Tech & Society". He's discusses in length the approach they're looking to take at Facebook. It's genuinely a really entertaining listen. Obviou
