That's a really interesting observation too. I've always preferred round dining tables for six people at home and hadn't really made the connection with the idea that it does allow for a single conversation rather than a rect

We have an earlier version of this: https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/en/mkt-product/food-preparation... The only annoying thing about it is that the fill indicator is rather hidden by the handle, but otherwise we real

Interesting, thanks. I really like the idea but the thing I'd miss from our kettle is the ability to change to lower temperatures for different kinds of tea. You shouldn't really use boiling water for some kinds of green tea, for

I'd be interested in an overall energy use comparison between a kettle and a hot water tap. I know lots of people who boil far too much water for a single cup of tea or coffee (partially due to kettle designs).

I find these kinds of responses interesting. It's not like you have to use these glasses, so this isn't really about you. It's about what you think other people should do, but should s are kinda funny. Why should someo

What about the (large, I would argue) slice of parents who want to let their kids watch TV but don't want them bombarded with ads for sugar-saturated foods? (I mean, we're on HN, so the obvious answer is watching things on a lapto

This isn't true. OP may be confusing things like this - https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-business... - as saying that crypto is regulated as gambling, but it's not.

Funny - I'm using Firefox too and haven't had that issue for quite a while now. I don't search in private mode all that much though.

Once you've set up the plugins and private browsing API keys there's no more friction is there? I found the iOS Safari extension buggy for a bit, but I haven't had any issues for quite a while now. The price does make me winc

This is a great film about the Knepp rewilding project - https://www.wildingmovie.com/ - which this article is about. I found it very inspiring. There are also a couple of books: https://uk.bookshop.org/p&#x

I prefer this method too, as it helps me develop my self-control. (I have "τῶν ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν καὶ οὐκ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῖν", which is from Epictetus and means "things that are up to us and things that are not up to us" as a reminder that

Sounds like mindfulness - set your intention before you use something and keep checking in to make sure you're not getting distracted (by something other than the game!)

My thoughts exactly. Just a look down the top-10 list of articles at the top right gives me pause, and I don't see this news being reported anywhere else.

That explains why that box hasn't worked when I've used Shopify stores before. I couldn't be bothered to take them to task individually, but I figured they were using some kind of crappy "legitimate interest" basi

I remember a lecturer in undergrad psychology talking about this in the context of walking, and my walking felt really messy for a week, like when you start to become conscious of your breathing.

That study is an interesting suggestion that there might be a physiological basis for the explicit / implicit distinction in terms of memory. Makes sense in many ways that some kind of memory might be embedded in the motor cortex. I wo

In psychology memory is divided up into various groupings depending on what people are interested in, e.g. explicit (remembering that Paris is the capital of France) and implicit (remembering how to ride a bike). You can further subdivide e

If I'm right that this condition is like that of Henry Molaison - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Molaison - then the real difficulty is that you don't remember that you have amnesia.
