I get that too - I know plenty of people who are very happy about their choice to have kids, despite the lack of what they used to call fun since having them. I understand that having dependents give you purpose, and that purpose is (for wh

Haha you and hundreds of thousands of others I expect - Turmills and Fabric closed down a long time ago now (late 00’s I think?)

I don't know, most Londoners quickly work out that for anything less than 3 stops on a tube line you could probably walk it in less time. You can walk to Smithfield from the Barbican, Chancery Lane, St Pauls, Blackfriars, Moorgate in l

I know it's probably not worth fighting market forces, but this seems like a real shame. I lived right near the market on Turnmill Street when I had my first job in London, and used to walk to work in the city past the market in the mo

Assuming you mean that your expectations grow and shrink with your means: The person in question is married, husband makes a solid wage, and she would be doing exactly the same if it wasn't for children. It was a conscious decision&#x2

It was ZWB (Zimbabwe dollars), but I can see why you would assume "pound" given the country's history. Source: I have one of these notes on my coffee table :) It lives with a $1 bill that was printed only a couple of years b

I'm intrigued by this but I can't quite get my head around it. I'm a millennial so grew up with online communities and gaming but my god this being a thing blows my mind!

I'm much the same, in a DINK situation and going hard at life experiences but everyone our age has had children and their lives revolve around looking after them. It's just not very interesting, and nobody has time for fun outside

(I’m in the uk) Anything medical history related comes in a letter, the letter gets hole punched and goes in an A4 binder at the front. It means that I have a complete chronological record, but god help me if I have to find something specif

There’s also a reasonably large set of people who do so because they have a significant trust fund or large inheritance coming so they can basically do whatever they like and the money doesn’t really matter. Don’t necessarily feel sorry for

It could well be a career for "people of means" only, I'd be fascinated if anyone here had any insight into this...

I wonder that the commercial model is for endeavours such as this? I guess you collect royalties from people who want to publish the photos, but although you get a one-off wow factor I don't see there being a big market for these kind

I suspect it’s because they want the reduction focused in specific areas and on the low performers.

It would be interesting to see how it compares to the average natural employee churn in a year - I expect it is significantly less.

I was quite young at the time but even in London pizza express felt really fancy and stylish compared to any other restaurant I’d been to (at about 8 years old). I guess it was very competitively priced too because my middle class but not

Even wooden boats take a very very long time to fully degrade in salt water. If you go around the coast of the UK and look what's sitting in the mud on our shores you'll find a surprisingly large number of ship/boat remains

It might not be the CTO's fault at all - maybe they inherited it, identified the issues, and are getting them solved. Probably not in this case, but you couldn't assume for every...

I work at a company that's trying to come out of the other side of this kind of approach. Let me tell you, it might feel good while you're doing it but in 5 years time it will be a hot mess of unmaintainable garbage! There are h

Take up a sport! I “sucked” at sports when I was at school, or at least that’s what the dynamics of school sports taught me. Turned out to be wrong, and actually it’s a just a matter of investing the time and effort to get good at somethi

Interesting! I’m also a long time high volume cyclist, and I see a clear effect of slower rides in winter. I’m talking about around specific routes and training sessions where the point is to go as fast as possible. With the same power I

I’m not sure that was said by anyone in 2009, there was already a healthy selection of early touch screen smartphones available.

I can confirm as someone who lives in the uk, that is not normal. There are a significant proportion of residential developments where it wouldn’t even be possible to install such infrastructure due to the legal framework around how the pro

Did they decide that that was their strategy before or after this breach occurred? They were trying to keep their source code secure, and they failed. Not a great look for a company that ask you to trust them with all of your user accounts

Forgive me but that sounds rather sensationalist. If you have any evidence of this phenomenon I would be interested to see it. Not that arranged marriages sometimes happen and honour killings too (albeit extremely rarely), but that there’s

I've made some assumptions, which on reflection could be incorrect. My Tacx Flux does a spindown test where you spin it up to a high RPM, then stop pedalling and it measures how long it takes to stop. I guess it's actually trying

I've been wondering how long it would be before something like this happened ever since e-sports cycling started. Longer than I thought it would is the answer! I'm sure there's simpler ways as well: you could manipulate the s

Me too. I can see on my MRIs that my brain mass is decreasing, even though there are no new lesions. I'm not quite 40 years old yet and am physically and mentally very active. Does it matter? Time will tell...

I’d also like to see the balance of the numbers in each role as well. Software engineering is an in demand specialism, but within a company that does software, are the software engineers the grunts and the product managers the hard to find
