I've been buying some Lego knockoffs with great satisfaction. There are many companies now, and their quality has been really great, only slightly below Lego. The prices are so low that I can easily buy replacements if I would need to

I sync a few single external drives every week or two over good old USB. In house sneaker net. Tools like Freefilesync make this easy and fast (and give me a manual check so accidental deletes are visible too). Very cheap, has served me for

Ever since Google Docs launched, it has been the most valuable thing about having an account. Document sharing and central management are a hard thing that Google Docs solves realy well. I'll be very glad to try this out.

In the Netherlands it's even more. Seems like the Dutch wikipage on the subject is far more comprehensive to the English one: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnenvaart Says over a quarter of freight goes by boot

I used it 20 years ago after having worked a bit with Python and C++ for 2-3 years. I was productive in a day (I didn't know Java), had a functioning GUI day 2. Yes, it seems overwhelming and there is the 'workspace' concept

openSuse haven't made it easy. Turns out both are an option of the MicroOS installer. I'd not call that a separate distro, but it seems to have product pages like that.

The reason is not the food, but the opening hours and the lack of decorum. (French places have narrow opening hours usually either 12-14 or 7-10-ish.) "Come as you are" has been their slogan for a long time. No need to dress up, b

Let's say you eat tofu or something tofu-equivalent daily. That means you need to reuse one rectangular tofu bin daily. And that's a severe underestimate of the actual amount of plastic one generates in the course of a regular day
