I just want to know where they’re getting these things. Is there some dodgy bike shop which sells the bike and then sneakily delimits it under the counter?

I have experienced brake failure, maybe twice in the more than a decade I’ve been commuting. Pretty scary stuff when it happens, I feel for her. I’ve always gotten that broken brake repaired within 48 hours (I live in somewhere that is pret

I’m a total convert to ebikes and use a VanMoof (mentioned in this article as an example of vertical integration - its a great bike when it works, but it has a high failure rate. My parents use more traditional brands with a much lower fail

I think of it as Evernote Syndrome. Take a perfectly great app and then slowly add nonsense on it until it's slow and bloated.

I've been on 1Password for many many years - looks like I bought it first in 2008, and I've bought every major version since, and then moved to subscription within weeks of it launching. I couldn't be happier with the product

Sudden braking from a fast speed might be more likely to cause a skid (same as a car but scaled down), but if you're popping down to the shops or commuting to work, you likely will be cycling in a more relaxed style anyway. If you&#x27

Even if you're overweight, cycling a bike is very rarely a problem. I'm an active cycle campaigner so I am definitely more exposed to many types of cycle commuters, but I know many people who are overweight for whom cycling is the

From years of experience of being around Lawyers, many of them seek the need to say things in the most unnecessary complex and impersonal ways. Lawyers are often terrible communicators.

This seems like such an obvious Appley feature for iMessage, especially now that transcription can be done on-device.

I think more whistleblowers and legal ramifications for C-level execs (prison time preferably since they can happily pay any fine thrown at them) is the only real way to do it at this point.

I’m definitely outside drug culture but do people really just inject stuff that clearly (tea!) isn’t meant for injecting?

Their shop/restaurant opening times are still totally useless though. I live in Stoneybatter (next effectively 15 min walk from the city centre for those not from Dublin) and I’d estimate that at least 1/3rd of the correct waypoin

I’ve been on DuckDuckGo for nearly a year now and while I’m mostly happy, it can be a frustrating experience as somebody living in Ireland. When making a location specific search, often even including the word “Ireland” or the city I live i

Apple have been there for quite some time, they’re probably happy enough with the trade off.

I recommend the app HealthFit which can sync Workouts data with pretty much everything else, including Strava. It also allows you automatically export FIT and GPX files to Dropbox if you’d like. It can’t yet automatically sync Runkeeper tho

iPhone adaption might be lower, but contactless adaption is through the roof. I can’t remember the last shop I was at which didn’t accept contactless. Even vendors at farmers markets accept contactless these days. So since most banks suppor

This is definitely not the case in Ireland, and I would imagine the rest of Europe. While there is the odd tax that an Employeer might need to pay on having an employee (probably benefits related), if a job says it pays, say, €60k, that&#x2

I understand your perspective completely, and I agree with you on the central point of Kickstarter needing to figure out how to look after the backer. When you have companies effectively using Kickstarter as a pre-ordering and marketing sys

I backed the $119 edition, as well as many other Kickstarter campaigns over the last few years (along with almost every campaign that Stonemaier Games has done) and I actually mostly agree with your comment, except for a few specific points

I had the same experience with GoT, but it could have been because I was with a gaming group who loved it and I'd never played it before.

I had a Cybiko Xtreme. We had to order it from the USA (I live in Ireland) and it took like 2 months to arrive. It was the coolest thing in the world until I realised that a lot of the functionality was dependant on other people having one
