That's an interesting take on it. I'd never perceived that, but you're right (in my case anyway). I have two children under 6 so there is very little 'pause time' until they are in bed asleep, and by that point I&#x

I don't know if this is just me, but I used to be full of ideas, half finished projects and several projects that I talked myself out of. Since having children, I no longer have ideas, and rarely work on anything than paid contract wor

The UK isn't a major superpower though. Russia sees the UK as the poodle of the United States, and although it loves it's poodle, poodles can easily be replaced. Putin was sending a very specific and threatening message to any Rus

This is a great use of the NSA/GCHQ. From a global security perspective, we absolutely want to know if Germany is about to deal with Russia. If we can't trust their word (and Merkel's public statements can change from one mon

I have UC. I'm lucky that I have access to medication that hold it in check. Thank you for the link. I'd love to get to the point where I no longer need to take this medication on a daily basis.

I'm a remote worker, but I rent a desk just around the corner from my house (5 minutes by bicycle). I get the best of both worlds. I still get the important social effects of working in an office space, but I do it on my terms and with

I think that the challenge we have is that today's antibiotics are really like the proverbial "sledgehammer to crack a nut". There hasn't been a great deal of interest in discovering new antibiotics, as this extract from

I would go as far as to say that the alterations we are making to plants, might also have long term unforeseen negative effects, that we are yet to appreciate. Sometimes I think the fact that we can "hack" nature, doesn't mea

Helicobacter pylori is blamed for increasing the risk of stomach cancer. My gastroenterologist treated me to get rid of it for this reason. That being said, since 50% of the world's population have this in their gut, I'm starting

There seems to be something uniquely British in its engineering culture which allows for the left-field hack-it-simply-together-and-hope-it-works approach. I'm guessing that the initial build was exactly this. Maybe the equipment is hi
