I can't answer for the parent, but I'll make an assumption with an analogy. You're on a long walk, absolutely starving and there's a strong possibility you won't get to eat for a while. A guy by the road is selling

Except the western world (or a large part of) will never think for itself. They just replace one voice with another that seems more credible and removes the need to think and analyse. Thinking is hard. Getting your 'facts' from th

What is this actually addressing? Why are digital devices being searched? What are they looking for? What has the world come to that this is a thing?

I'll second this for but for any kind of exercise. If you're not disciplined enough (yet) to exercise by yourself, as the parent says, classes are a brilliant way to stick with it and keep motivated. I get to the gym pretty much e

"Most likely you'll end up checking out anyway even if you don't find any valid coupons" I think that's quite an assumption. I have no data either way, but personally I'll rarely make a spur of the moment purch

Just For Kicks. It's probably 10+ years old now, but a fascinating and super, super well put together doc on sneakers and the culture around it. Entertaining even if you're not sold on the subject matter.

Honestly, I don't understand the logic of some people. They're so desperate to keep a tight grab on what they have, they lose sight of what could be. It's like the music industry ~20 years ago. Rather than suing people that w

Birth of the iPhone?! I remember using Shazam on my dumbphone driving home from university. That must have been 2002/3. Blew my mind. Pretty incredible really. Good for them!

Not sure how I feel about this. It annoyed my greatly on my last RyanAir flight that in order to take a slightly larger than laptop sized bag (35L) I had to pay for priority which was 8 quid or whatever. A Primera flight I've just book

Made many, many WP sites over the years for clients or otherwise. It's brilliant for what it is. You can do SO much with it. Stuff like this always intrigues me though - I'd happily replace WP for client sites where they may wan

I read The Beach during a summer off from University after finding it on a relative's bookcase. I'd just seen the movie and I remember thinking how much better the book was than the movie (which I'd enjoyed, but that always s

I really liked Lego growing up. Playing with BASIC on my first PC back in the early 90s was like grown up Lego - putting bits (no pun intended) together to create something new was amazing. The first time my named scrolled down the screen i

True. And yet I played and watched just as much football as my brother when we were growing up - and as adults he spends every weekend watching the scores come in and watches every game his team plays. International games aside, football do

Do you consistently go to bed at the same time, keep you meal times relatively consistent and keep your stimulant intake (caffeine, etc) consistent as well? I fare a whole lot better when I do. Regardless, for me: 8:30 alarm, although I&#x2

Are you selling from the site? If not, I'd argue that you want something very much like a landing page; and what sort will depend on your audience. Regardless of audience, you want one exit route - so every link goes to Amazon (or wher

Didn't realise that existed. Very useful thanks! But again, it's not exactly up there for John Everyman - and it doesn't sort Facebook having different share counts for the https and http domain.

Appreciated, but this is a hacky solution. If you use the graph explorer, both the http and https addresses have different counts. It's very frustrating - shouldn't be that way.

Two stories. Firstly, I had a fair amount of websites with a now EIG owned company for about 10 years. It was just a shared host, but they're all low traffic, and I could easily add a domain name and spin up a blog/project. A few

Pop science, but this probably helps explain why Facebook/Snapchat/etc are so popular with the teen demographic. I'm kinda glad we didn't have any of that when I was that age. Remembering back to how insecure I felt pers
