Exactly the same trigger here. I had one just the other day at the pub. Sitting outside, under shade, but to my left was a bright spot. It’s weird how I can sense it arriving ... something about the quality of my vision subtly changes, and

LOL. Really? Presumably there’s a term of art for that. Ah yeah his name’s right there at the top... :facepalm:

I've also (see my sibling here re: Morden) done this. Lived in Alphington. Woke up in Diamond Creek.

Can confirm. I used to live in Islington. I woke up in Morden very early one morning, head against the tube window. Sadness.

Vendors who block iCloud Relay are the worst. I'm sure they don't even know they're doing it. But some significant percentage of Apple users -- and you'd have to think it's only gonna grow -- comes from those IP add

Perfect. This is what struck us when we moved from Melbourne to Canberra. In both cities we live/d in the inner-city hipster suburb: Fitzroy, Braddon. In Fitzroy, any semblance of a sheep is at the least an hour away. It takes that lon

This is worth considering in the context of driving at night. I used to get terrible eye strain, causing fatigue and sleepiness. Obviously not good. Then I bought a Saab 900. It had a 'night mode' that disabled all dials except th

My neighbour's internet was terrible last year. He replaced a bunch of stuff, and went as far as switching ISPs to my recommended provider. Nothing worked. Finally a savvy helpdesk person had him move his ADSL router. I believe he mo

That's right. Rather than paying your $10/month 'racket', you simply paid $300 one time. Then every 3 years or so you spent $300 again to get the updated version. It was a much better system! /s

I got an insight in to why this is the case in 2012, when I had the misfortune to be part of the worst project I've ever worked on. I was at one of Australia's 'big four' banks. My $100m project was charged with replacin

Many local libraries carry the Economist. You need to use one of the mostly-hideous library readers -- looking at you, PressReader -- but, still, free.

It works the other way, too. Years ago a UK bank incorrectly deposited money in my account. My GF’s dad was a lawyer, so I asked him if I could spend it. “It’s like if someone parks their car in your driveway”, he told me. “While that’s inc

But when you have 4 -- and I bet people have more -- it does get a bit boring having to switch them out. It's no longer an annual event, it's now quarterly. I mean, first-world problem. But if it could be less frequent, of course

My neighbour (in Australia) just bought a brand-new truck like this. They're in active development and production. Not that I'd feel all that safe in it. The cabin is essentially a matchbox.

I see you’re being downvoted on Hacker News for what appears to be an expression of support for founders selling out for millions of dollars. We have arrived at peak hypocrisy.
