If it's for kids, I'd round off those corners or add some kind of semi-flexible skirt around the bottom, because that outward 90° jut on the foot shelf by the front wheel looks potentially... painful.

I'm guessing my flawed use of an asterisk, resulting in a weird highlighting out of context, confused your interpretation of what I was saying, because I believe we're suggesting the same thing.

As an outsider not in academia, your system has poisoned your well. We trusted in you to do the Right Thing , yet a significant sub-system of your culture has entirely successfully undermined your 'Checks and Balances' - a sub-sys

Perhaps because the concept's been knocking around for decades before it was published?

But now their ascendance will be largely built on renewables which, due to our ineptitude here in the west, we've handed them the ball. Good luck to them, because someone has to.

imho, not picky at all - in fact, a critical distinction, as the transportation slice of the energy pie is really quite a large one.

Thanks for this - I've paid much less attention to Tesla over recent years, but my memory of Electrek was that it was a distinctly-pro Tesla outlet, but this was a few years back now.

What a bubble you exist in. I'm self-employed and my entire suite of software is either windows or apple only and I have 'been a pc' for nearly thirty years and have pc hardware that fulfills all my requirements and can'

Cool, but my decade-old machine works perfectly well for my needs, as too I imagine a million other such machines.

Gosh, I miss the aesthetics of vector games of this era. My absolute favourite was Armour-Geddon (on the Amiga), which because I'd pirated it I barely had any clue what to do but.. it was still fun, and so beautiful. And fast! I know t

I did much the same, but with a hypodermic syringe, on knotweed many years ago. Yours is so much more.. tender though. Poor dandelions, but at least you made it personal!

eh, I was a Smartphone ‘it's gotta have a keyboard!’ hold-out too, but I've long-since embraced the Swype or whatever it's called, style of input. It's fine enough for 90% of my engagement with the internet via a phone.

Also, £4.20 for a Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin is just ... no. Why? I could swear it wasn't that long ago it was under £3. For a fiver I can get a better 'real' Bacon & Egg bap from an independent.

Not my experience - my father had questionable taste in newspapers, but the daily express ran C&H and we had all of the compendia.

'illegal' in that manufacturers add on a usb port and the basic board to tick the reusable check box. I'm still seeing almost as many of these cast on the streets as I did a year ago.

Software that's unavailable on Linux? That I use literally all day, every day? I get that's a car-aazy answer, but here I am.

I always viewed the current generations of 'cheap Chinese hovebords' etc being a direct descendant of the Segway, and that Kamen and his believers weren't quite as ridiculous as we thought them at the time - they were just ah

This doesn't suggest much of consequence, other than a vaguely-implied smear? I've watched Hossenfelder's videos for years and whilst yes - she might perhaps be overly critical of a lot of things - I don't at all accept

It'd've been RGB :) But you've now got me mulling over the implications of a CMYK-based subtractive colour process 'monitor'. I'm guessing the refresh rate wouldn't be too hot..!

Is this the one that very cleverly removed the full contact list from the Phone 'app', changed the Take/Deny call orientation, and made everything 200% bigger? Because I [expletive] hate it and don't see how in any way i

Given how many times Google has warned me that existing or potential clients phoning me are Spam, your second bullet there sounds terrifying. I'd be turning that 'feature' off first.

Luckily for me the Drafts folder's showing, so I was able to send (well, I assume it's sent) the Single Most Important Email I need to send today, which I'd spent about half an hour getting right just as the interface implode
