A timely topic, for me in particular, as I'm currently in the throes of a developing woodwork hobby. Specifically, I've spent a bit of time (and money) in recent days and weeks going down the extensive rabbit-hole of tool sharpeni

Are powerful mobile phones packed with Apps and constant notifications so necessary to a full, fun, enjoyable techy life, really? I am legitimately surprised that more tech-heads didn't see this state-of-affairs (and all the other obvi

I agree that terms like peak and bottoming-out can mislead casual readers, because the future market can easily disprove both assumptions. Thankfully, we are not casual readers, or a source of financial advice, and may speak freely amon

Regarding MiSTer : Whether or not the 2023 entry price of a few hundred US dollars plus shipping (that is, a $225 DE10Nano board + $65 RAM module, with basic analog outs and USB able to be added via ~$20 generic dongles) is a ripoff or not,

Australias property market trends and sentiments seem to be trailing perhaps a couple of years behind New Zealands, in recent times. We are now seeing in Australia the very same accelerated rising trend that New Zealand went through prior t

As a casual but persistent user, it pains me to say it - because ethically I support the grassroots side of the equation - but as a path of least resistance to casual, anonymous public engagement on a wide range of topics, there seems no vi

No given individual has 'every right' to anything. Virtually everything we humans do was inaugurated by those who came before, and our wholesale, liberal replication of those prior actions defines our very existence.
