Same with me, who "needed" to join FB because that is the main communication platform for a leisure activity. Apparently I am a fake person.

Close to the poles, I'd say the assumption that the cocks be synchronised with UTC is flawed. Had we had cocks, I am afraid they'd be oversleeping at this time of year.

Well, the deal is that once one is 18 one may make one's own decisions and suffer the consequences. Klarna is scummy for sure, but the "SMS loans" in Sweden are even less appealing.

By "mfd", do you mean µF? I have some basic knowledge of electronics and am not familiar with "mfd" in this context but assumed you must mean microfarad.

I am not an expert at greenery so I am not 100% sure, unfortunately. The ones I have sown are of different varieties; some have runners and some do not. I cannot recall that either variant was harder than the other to grow, and once establi

The wild/forest strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are very easy to grow. If I can do it, anyone can! The seeds are quite inexpensive and the plants yield generous amounts of berries the first season. There is also a white/yellow varie

I usually charge mine in the morning when I sit down at my computer to start work. I let it sit there while drinking a hot beverage and when I need to pop into the loo, it is charged enough.

No, it will not do! It looks way too peaceful and pleasant, not at all conducive to inspiring to endless hours in the cubicle.

If it matters, I have an Imalent DX80, bought in 2018. It is kept 3/5 charged in a drawer as emergency light if we have a power outage etc. After being dropped on concrete the glass is cracked and half of the diodes are offline, but it

The rifle shooters wear stiff clothing, while pistol shooters tend to wear looser things (and there are lots of rules around clothes not being allowed to provide support).

Why is paying a multi-step process? Back in the day you would wave, get the bill, get your wallet out, round up a bit and walk out after putting cash on the tray. Now with cards, why is the payment terminal not brought over at once? Do most

I recently crossed a few borders too, and did not show a passport at any time. When I flew out of Germany the police did not even ask for a boarding pass despite me flying with a checked-in pistol (which is why the police got involved at al

Very arguably. Presuming the train has cameras, staff and other people on it, it could be argued it's safer than sleeping in a house.

We did. According to our estimates of electricity vs petrol, we would break even (vs petrol car) after about seven years, assuming it was valued at zero at that time. Now we have driven a bit more than we estimated, so it has been less cost

I think this illustrates the point well: if they were to write it in another script completely, English would adopt some transliteration of the name, i.e. an exonym.

Apologise to pick nits, but if it is not Turkey it is Türkiye. The former is perfectly fine in English.

Wow, that brings back memories. Long nights, CRTs, that fresh and health-promoting smell of warm electronics in poorly ventilated spaces, microwaved garbage food, sugary drinks … not sure how my friends and I survived until adulthood.

Wait, what? Absolutely! I speak with my friends on my phone. Sometimes I may speak and laugh for two hours with an old friend I, for family/life reasons, haven't seen for years but with whom I have this ability to instantly resume

We had about half a billion rows in one table back in 2008, and doing thousands of updates/inserts/deletes per second. Can't remember how much RAN we had, but we sure did have a few spinning disks.

But is that because you do not want/care that they know, or because you want them to NOT know? Our family is not required by any means to actively inform each other about our movements, but at the same time they're no secret. I do

For us it's never been about trust, spying or faith or anything. We often say things like: "let's meet at the park in half an hour; spy on me" and then everyone knows which part of the park the others are at. The first o

It's because it is spelt Türkiye, not Turkiye. It is the official name used by organs like the UN, the United States Department of State etc but that doesn't mean you can't be using Turkey. It's like Taiwan, which few pe

Ah, memories of quiet summer days in Western Australia! No emergencies as far as the eye can see. The wind feels like a hair dryer in the face. Ah yes, a summer day in the sticks.
