FYI this still requires that you know the password to unlock the PDF to begin with so it won't help open PDFs that you are locked out of. If you were already using print->save-as-pdf to remove passwords from pdfs then I don't t

The 200 cigarette limit is quite new. I believe that until recently there was no limit as long as it was for personal use. Anyway I’ve never noticed anyone declaring their cigarettes at customs so I think it just one of those rules that nev

My partner has had two (very) close up sightings and she said sightings among her peer group were common enough that no one thought it was that big a deal. This was in the late 90’s though. There are certainly enough sheep and rabbits in th

My partner has seen them twice from close up (<10m), in the Cambridgeshire area. But this was in the late 90’s.

Well done. I finished the second paragraph before I realised. It the was the opening of the third paragraph ("In summary") that made it completely obvious to me.

At my local depot they allow you to see what the item is before you decide to pay or not.

Yes they are that expensive (although I didn't pay anything for them). The price you paid is definitely more typical. I adapted to mine quickly too I just don't like them very much.

Progressive's are the highest margin lens for both the retail store and the manufacturers (Essilor, Zeiss, Hoya, Rodenstock, etc). By putting a fancy curve on the back of a lens a $1 piece of plastic is transformed into a $500 piece of

Crying about "whataboutism" is just a cheap rhetorical technique employed to deflect attention away from accusations of hypocrisy. It's the last refuge of the hypocrite especially when it comes to discussing politics. Unfortu

I understand your sentiment and I agree with you, but at the same time if we, as a community and as a society, are incapable of caring about the principles and philosophy behind free software because the websites aren't cool enough, th

We’ve been using an Epson eco tank at work, daily, for a few years now and it works great. The ink seems to last forever. Only nuisance is that the nozzles sometimes get a bit clogged up but that’s pretty easily fixed. Even so I’ll never go

I used to read Stratfor in the late 90’s but thought that the intellectually honesty of the dropped off by the early 2000’s. Anyway I’ll give it another try, it used to be one of my favourite sites.

We had a black bird try this with our cat a few weeks ago to protect a fledgling in our garden. I would be more inclined to call the behaviour brave and desperate rather than smart because it doesn’t always work out well for the birds.

I think Sublime Text does a good job of being both good and cross platform. But yes I also remember the days when lots of software just didn’t exist for macOS and I was thankful for a webtech version.

Electron’s bloat and power consumption wouldn’t bother me so much if the performance was actually good on a fast machine. But the experience is awful compared to a native app.

P&G was able to argue in court that Pringles are a type of cake rather than a type of potato chip (crisp in the UK) which means VAT doesn’t apply to them. In the UK cake is sold free of VAT. I guess my point is that there is clearly a p
