I'd highly suggest focussing time to build a routine to keep yourself active while you are still young. Either get used to working out / going to the gym, or even better find a hobby that keeps you active. I'm in my early 30s

On a recent trip to the US (San Francisco), I was surprised by how much ATMs charge. The ATM in my hotel was the lowest I found, charging only $4. Compare this to Europe where in most countries ATMs do not have a fee (small convenience stor

Subways drastically vary depending on the material the ground is made of and what is there already. For example London is relatively easy to build deep tunnels in, but on of the big things that has increased the complexity of Crossrail is t

Last night I downloaded an app update on my handheld computing device (a phone). It took around 30 seconds to download and install the 100mb update, on a internet connection I can use pretty much anywhere in Europe for £10/mo. 15 years

IKEA Tradfri devices are probably the biggest user of ZigBee.

It's also worth bearing in mind not everyone is a native English speaker. In languages that have gendered words, a lot of languages use the masculine subject forms by default, for example when referring to a mixed or unknown gendered g

At least in the UK, this is already the case. Most of my orders are delivered by a delivery company that only handles Amazon packages.

The Netflix series Better Than Us has a great example of this with the character Svetlana Toropova. Spoiler: The character is a TV host who suffers a mental breakdown. You first see her Instagram face, then you see her looking more natural

I remember a few months ago I saw some crows in a park. They were going through a bin and pulling out McDonalds paper bags, and ripping them apart to see if there was anything inside. Whenever someone came near they would move away from the

Many European countries are like this, go visit somewhere like the south of Spain and it's a completely different lifestyle. There was an article here the other week about a country (Netherlands?) where you can take up to six months of

Not when I started, but after I'd been contracting for five years I ended up in a contract where the client ran out of money so couldn't pay me. I figured that because I was hired through a recruitment agency I was safe, but appar

And this is something that can be fixed with current technology. Today you can easily build housing that uses no fossil fuels for heating, and in actual fact will generate more energy than it consumes (over the course of a year), even in co

Most airlines don't bother refitting older aircraft, or if they do it's just upgrading the entertainment system. Top tier airlines (e.g. Emirates and Singapore) typically refit their aircraft every 10 years, which involves pretty

Chip-and-PIN (EMV) requires the card to be inserted into the payment terminal. The PIN can be verified online or offline (using the cryptographic hardware on the card). On a recent trip to the US, most places I saw had the requisite hardwar
