   Prices where we are are similar to zone 2 but much better access to green belt and major roads that get you out to the 'countryside'. That's why we decided to buy here and not go for central London. If we were to live closer

   I was just thinking and can't remember anyone being bothered by someone wanting to go to the office and work there. I do know people who are offended by people who want to work from home though and they can be pretty aggressive and ann

    I'll offer a positive instead of a negative. I think GIMP is great editor. It's my goto editor for simple photo/image edits that go into presentations. I am glad it exists. Some of us don't need Photoshop.

    I like the idea of "performant, content-focused websites" but the website itself hosting Astro doesn't really feel performant. When I scroll down it struggles on my quite powerful desktop computer.

    I applaud you. I do my best as well using Linux whenever I can and having all my email on Zoho. I struggle with finding a solution for sharing photos via mobile. The whole family is in Apple ecosystem. I feel that if I don't want to sp

    I'm 40+ year old dad as well. I don't feel stuck at home with wife and kids. I don't want to ever return to the office. I'm in managerial position and know that WFH is not any less efficient or less comfortable. I find o

    Awhile ago I read a tip that relaxing your face muscles, especially forehead can help you fall asleep faster. Occasionally I still use this technique and it works for me.

    I use Gimp daily when making screenshots and quickly cropping and resizing afterwards. I've been using it for years! Huge thank you to Gimp developers that keep it going and congrats on anniversary!

    Soundbar solves this. We have Bose TV Speaker and with its 'voice option' it's amazing. I can hear dialogue no matter the show, movie, doc.

    I actually think that Putin's war in Ukraine is just a scapegoat. Price increases started mid year 2021. War certainly didn't help though. Have to admit that I am even more confused now after your answer. It's another one of

    Actually, they have ~40M (even less now) out of which ~10M are people who consider themselves Russians and ~15M who speak Russian. At best they have some 8M males between 18-54 for military duty who would actually fight for Ukraine. Still a

    I use MacBook Pro given to me for work and Thinkpad P52 for personal use where I boot Windows and Linux. I also have MacBook Air for occasional personal use. If I had to choose only one it would be the Thinkpad.

    A few days ago SpaceX rocket sent a Russian astronaut to ISS along with three other. What does that tell you? It tells me that someone had to collaborate.

    You guessed correctly. It's the keyboard + trackpoint. Trackpad is on par with Apple devices in my opinion. I also like its repairability and an option to change the battery down the road.
