Way ahead of you! Sadly I've already played out how that argument will go in my head a few times.

Unfortunately for me my parents don't at all see the issue in sharing photos they take of my daughter on the social platforms they frequent and think my concerns are overwrought. She's young enough now that it isn't a major i

That's great news for 3D modelling - less so for CAD which although there are plugins for blender to accomodate, is not Blender's forte.

Yup, with you. I've run my own wee concern for about 14 years and the only Gambling-related job I took on was helping a fairly desperate friend out with a very small something that utimately didn't come to pass, for promoting &#x2

More that it's a weird form of treatise with the mereset semblance of a coherent novel intertwined within it to encourage people to read it.

According to the 'novel' The Ministry of The Future, that could be a state Actor... . I put 'novel' in quotes because it's a really weird novel.

I missed out on the 'Video Games' Stamp edition they did a few years back that had much-cherished games from my youth. Silly me! https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues/video-games

Apologies for slow response. Company is Kitronik. You need to have an existing educational account with them to order, i think.

I'd presume the experience would be ... smaller? If we get to the point where there's the possibility of thousands of passengers, supported by thousands of attendant crew, on a single airship, then we've got a different discu

I've been dreaming for years that in some future I might be able to take an enjoyably-slow 'cruise' across Europe in such a thing. YMMV. - ed - for the record, the idea of going on an actual ship-based cruise does not at all

Amusingly, I've literally just seen an example posted on a designer forum.. https://i.imgur.com/Oqxaru6.png https://i.imgur.com/Vcp6JdQ.png

Funny, because I live in the world of designers and a lot of them see a very near future where generated images replace 'real' photographed stock, if some are not there already.

I second this - I'm never buying another inkjet printer again, because my use of colours is fairly minimal these days and I have a box full of ink cartridges for two printers whose printheads are irredeemably clogged (not inexpensive m

Huh, and there had I been all those years simply assuming it was some oblique Jeff Minter reference!

Ordering these things - or, at least, trying to - is beyond ridiculous now. I've been checking three or four sites every month or so for literal years now to no avail. I've even tried shimmying in an order with an 'educationa

My partner's from Marche, and boy do they have a bit too much water at the moment... :/

Hmm, where were you and your keen insight thirty years ago to pour cold water on my adolescent mental machinations around helping dissuade creeping desertation around where i lived?

I used to dream of large scale solar and nuclear-powered desalination plants lining the mediterranean, solely for the purpose of pumping inland to create fresh water lakes to cool the local environment and perhaps stymie the increasing dese

It's the Guardian's raison d'etre to be critical of its country to the point of almost derogatory pessimism. I say this as a subscriber. Such analysis also fails to take into account the steps that are [necessarily] taken to

Quite. I've tired of pointing out to overly-optimistic responses on the internet about how well countries are doing in this regard, when if you look at the overall energy usage pie-chart, there's a big chunk covering industry and

As an aside, I've (UK) pretty much only ever eaten Lurpak for the last 40+ years and recently had an 'argument' with a Continental friend who vilified salted butter, which I just couldn't get my head around as I find uns

They're also covering water canals with solar panels, which a) makes use of otherwise wasted space, b) reduces evaporation of the water, c) reduces algal and weed growth which causes toxicity and flow problems and d) encourages cool

I'd suggest that perhaps that simply implies that Ian Fleming's imagination could only run so far.. :)

ughft. I mean: I smoke hashish, but honestly, Musk's adolescent little references like these are really trite and demeaning to the magnitude of what his companies are hoping to achieve. S3XY, poop emoji and 'Titter'. ughft, j

If they are, as I assume they are, ultrasonic sensors - schlub punters like us can get them for £3 a pop. I've got some sat in my drawer here (for yet another project that's not gotten very far in over a year now :\ ...).

One of the fun things about having a kid is realising how fundamentally-learned everything is, and how much we adults end up taking for granted. I catch myself so many times explaining things to my daughter, and then realising that the te
