I don't hold a firm stance on whether choosing not to have children is selfish, though I tend to believe it isn't. Nonetheless, the most compelling arguments suggesting that it could be selfish include: - ending the family lineage

E-scooters are reasonably stable when there's a small amount of ice so long as you don't use solid tyres. They are more stable than road bikes and city bikes because they have a wider area of contact with the ground. For more comf

I really like these small electric cars, and I plan to buy one even if only just for fun in the next ten years. They fill a niche between electric scooters/bikes and regular cars. In most cities, an electric scooter is usually enough f

Passwords, particularly passphrases, are easy to remember and you can reuse a similar structure for probably decades: - There-are-three-ducklings3-in-the-lake - There-are-five-swans5-in-the-lake - There-are-six-hedgehogs6-in-the-bush And so

What if one loses all their devices in a natural disaster, a house fire, or burglary, or lost baggage while traveling? A password is in your head. If you lose that, there's not much use for the said password. But otherwise, it's s
