The more interesting thing about this is that it is likely to result in a higher 'hit' rating of nude/risky pics as somebody using snapsave inherently is intentionally attempting to keep pictures the sender knew were going to

Dammit you ruined the canal boat dream! Must admit, renting one for a month or two would probably be worth considering before buying one. I hear it's all about finding a mooring space.

I was heavily into SWOTOR at the time and that was a driver for an increase in my battery capacity, but honestly, the place I worked at was pretty chilled and I could sit and play after work if I wanted (on my laptop). There is nothing to p

In the UK, there was concern that people asleep in camper vans could be 'got' as in charge of a vehicle. I do still believe being in the back of a van drunk parked on the road would be putting yourself in a 'legally' ris

Sounds like your set up was more rural. I was doing it in the middle of a city mostly, so really had to have everything self contained. Definitely would consider having the rear doors open and ability to pull out a cooking area and pop up a

UK caravan club got the clarification from the police years ago. The driver cabin is considered separate to the rear. They are two distinct 'rooms'. Unsure when you have a swivelling captain chair, but in my van the seats were fix

I used it as a way to explore Exeter, Devon and the surrounding coast. It was fun. One hell of an experiment and life hack. Would definitely do it again, but I would probably build my own van rather than buy off the shelf as I have that lux

Well technically your clothes are hanging up in the space your are cooking in. You don't really need to be known as "Mr. Bacon". Toilet is critical. You will need it (knew a friend that decided to not install one and rely on

Well, I'd bought a camper van in the summer, and a contract came up too far away to realistically commute. So I could have stayed in a B&B during the week, however I felt that this would work out. My wife was not quite in love with

I did this on a 6 month contract as an experiment over a mild winter in the UK in 2011. You can pretty much do this anywhere. Couple of tricks: 1) Get a small camper/van that can park in one car parking space with a diesel heating syst

Form over function? They made something that looks elegant without considering how people use watches. As the reviewer mentioned, you forget about it, it just becomes something you use adhoc during the day. Adhoc has to last 24+ hours. Coul

Well, any retailer has to increase their prices by 3% to cover CC charges. Even the simple act of a place insisting on a minimum spend of X on a CC can put you in a situation to spend more than you need to. You might not think you are payin

I'm quite surprised by the blasé attitude the US has to card security. The lack of chip and pin still surprises me. I'm surprised a lot of the bigger retail companies haven't put pressure on the banks to bring this in.

Be aware that the 'sugar' lobby fought hard not to have sugar demonised the way fat was by the WHO. This really is of their own making.

I don't think it's the fact that sugar is evil, but that it has been marketed as better than fat. Low fat food high in 'hidden' sugars are sold to us as better for us. Both have their issues, but looking at our diet over

The reading was taken at a distance of 1300 feet with a handheld device that is not meant to be used handheld beyond 1000 feet. That's a significant distance. I'm assuming the cop was hiding or trying to stay hidden.
