And what happens to those pop up bike lanes when the furlough money runs out, the tube is still unusable and the cars return with a vengeance? The Beeb are too quick to praise the weak actions of local governments here. Given a generation

There is a comparison site called pcpartpicker which I've used to locate hundreds of parts. I'm in the UK not EU, although it does have local sites for most EU countries. Amazon is rarely the cheapest and never the only store it

I have 4 kids so we had 3 car seats for a while. We're in the UK and we have a Vauxhall (Opel) Zafira which is a 7 seat minivan, very small by US standards, built on the chassis of the Astra small hatchback. I believe we have used th

Perhaps the OP included the cost to indicate it compared favourably with the cost of air travel and private car travel over the same route? I understand this wouldn't have been true for similarly distanced cites in USA, and I know fro

There are hearing aids which use ultrasonics to send settings from a smartphone app. I thought that was a pretty neat solution given the device has strict constraints on size, weight and battery life. Traditional hearing aids can be fiddl

HSR was never about commuting, capacity is too low, the journey time improvements are modest and tickets will always be priced to discourage commuting. It's a bone to throw to those people who currently travel longer distances to Lond

I love my SB1 although it's far from perfect. The dock connector does grow on you. Unlike USB-C, when someone trips over your cable the dock connector pulls free. The design of the SB1 means you can charge the tablet or keyboard ind

In the UK we are just starting our first week of national school shutdown, and the transition is very abrupt and many schools poorly prepared. I have children in primary (U.S. grade K-5) and secondary (U.S. grade 6-10) and primary is bare

I don't think it's as easy to let go as people think. Phone apps are designed to be engaging. If you watch footage of distracted drivers who cause crashes, they don't realise their brain has disengaged from the vital task.

This is the right answer, but it's a reality that accounts are very frequently shared, because of laziness, cost, or simply that the service doesn't have good (or any) support for multiple accounts
