It's in our office block (aperia, well north of the cdb). Not sure what it's called, but makes lunch a breeze and means I'll usually go there rather than grabbing a sandwich from Spinellis coffee shop

We'd still have protection from cosmic radiation. Antarctica is far more livable than anywhere else off earth, but I don't see us living there in a self-sustained fashion. Space exploration and colonisation is important, but it&#x

I'm sure there are many who live in New York who want to move out but can't because of the work. Certainly that's the case in London. Desires change through life. Sure when I was 20-something I'd be happy living in manha

Sadly not. 8 hours going west, 6 hours going east. An ideal flight is about 12 hours, giving uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep as well as time for a movie, dinner and breakfast. Even better if there's no jetlag. London to Joburg for examp
