I distinctly recall seeing a VHS tape of 'The Goonies' retailing for £64 in a video shop in the north of England sometime around '86, which blew my tiny little mind, as that may as well have been a million pounds. If memory s

Problem with that is that they risk ending up with feature bloat, as much as I agree with you!

The only thing to understand - and accept - is that you will always pick the wrong queue. So will everyone else. Always. . I appreciate that this truism has nothing to do with the article.

I wonder if we could somehow use strategic placement of fertilisation to encourage processes that laterally help in cleaning up (/collecting) plastic pollution in oceanic gyres? A girl can dream. - ed: I am fascinated by the idea that

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about iron-seeding - I was thinking entirely in terms of industrial solutions.

We seem to be so far from a practically-useful level of CO2 removal that this seems like a shrill level of concern. That said, the logic could apply to much quicker solutions that could be distributed globally, such as atmospheric albedo mo

I'm not American and haven't been there in 38 years and I'm not a cyborg plugged into the internet with infinite, instant recall, but a cursory Google informs me that I'm not entirely delusional (/or a foreign agent

Yeah, likewise - I remember getting a very sore thenar* from those hard corners after the sort of stupidly-prolonged gaming sessions teenagers are capable of. Then I got a Naksha, which was borderline-futuristic. . * base of the thumb. I ha

Last time I checked (a long time ago, admittedly) most embroidery solutions were locked-in and opaque. It's a vastly different world to home-built CNCs running off GCode (sadly!).

Have you checked out Affinity Designer? I'm a near 20+ year user of Illustrator and I find Inkscape 'a bit' of a mess, but Affinity's offering, whilst paid for (but cheap), is much more honed. I can't wait 'til

Brit here - to them that would actually be a foreign spelling. Not sure why you'd be aggrieved by that statement.

Blimey, well done you! . Tell me, have you set the difficulty on the first played game to some level that might artificially encourage further play? I only ask as I've not played solitaire in literally 20 years or so and everything on

This is the nudge I've needed to look into Figma, so thanks! :) (I'm an ex-webnik who always coded by hand and I've fallen behind a bit where responsive layouts are concerned, so Figma's always looked partially-interesti

Y'all might want to get to the point a bit quicker in your pitch. A lot of fluff to wade through before the lede.. "Garage is a distributed storage solution, that automatically replicates your data on several servers. Garage takes

Another bit of context - some responses on the internet weren't intended to be entirely literal in their nature.

Doesn't every populist politican do this when and where they can? I'm sure I recall Trump adding his 'brand' to a number of things he barely had any say in, whilst he was in office. I imagine a number of the % of public

ha! As soon as I wrote that I thought "there's an app in that" and started mentally mapping out how it could work. I figured it'd need to be simple as possible, and even considered using the user's location to preëm

Sorry, I meant 'banned for use in food' - I'm not American, so my terminology's likely inadequate.

Stevia was banned in the States (as in the EU) for a long time after it was allowed for consumption in other domains across the globe. I know I looked into importing some from Japan many (many) moons ago (purely out of idle interest) before

Yeah, as others have pointed out, that's not the case at all. It would be very surprising to hear, given the horrifying list of chemical additives I read on the ingredients of imported American food products.

At this point one would really have to wonder if it's at all worthwhile investing time and effort in a Google-based product. Heck, they even appear to have let their main offering - their Search Engine - slip into shit over the past fe

It's been all over the newspaper media here in the UK recently, and I'd had it shared a few times back in [November?] from my circle of friends. Me being me, I ignored it until it was posted here... .

I've helped on a few jobs that required representing the skyline of London (in advertising, for example) and my clients have always been very careful to ensure that modern landmarks aren't entirely accurate, to avoid this kind of
