I do this too. A7 is the sweet spot for me because it fits in my back pocket and so it's always there when I need it. I write the date started on the front cover and the same when I finish them and file them away. The hard part about u

Yes please! I'm getting pretty decent at bread now, I've been making a loaf every three days or so for a few months. But I would love to add pizza dough to my skills.

switch the double-u for a w. Uuhiles becomes "whiles" (or "while")

That is genuinely remarkable! Even indentation?

Wow, it's a while since I've seen one of those lists of hundreds of vampires that you have to deselect!

Also Graphical Adventure Creator for the Amstrad CPC. I loved it, but failed to produce even a single adventure. My perfectionist tendencies made sure any progress ground to a halt almost immediately over text, logic or graphics!

Are you riding on roads or trails? How are you treated by other road users? I'm tempted by ebikes but live in semi-rural UK with very poor (and getting worse) road surface and lots of blind bends.

Did you use a fire grate with a big space underneath and keep it swept clean? Or did you build up a big bed of ash under the grate? On the advice of a chimney sweep I put a perimeter of bricks under the grate to form walls and we're cu

You... you must have been quite some 5 year old.

No city ever builds transit infrastructure to tempt people out of their cars, they make the experience of driving shittier and shittier to force people off the road, all the while lambasting drivers for making the city dirty and dangerous.

Roald Dahl has been great for the whole family, we do a lot of driving and listen to them in the car. We are very picky about the narrator's voice. Best so far have been The Witches (Miranda Richardson), Matilda (Kate Winslet) and the

I second the Yoto. My son and I have had much fun making our own cards and I got pretty good at extracting audiobooks from YouTube, processing them with audacity and making cards of book series that he was into. You can fit a staggering amo

I admit I'm intrigued by the idea. Do you have any recommendations?

There must be some pretty industrial strength compartmentalising going on.

Xfce has long been the only DE that gets out of my way enough for me to actually be productive instead of excited by the possibility of different configurations.

Adobe programs were the worst offenders for this in my experience.

My dad told me of one Christmas he spent in Sheffield in the early 60s. He'd been ill or something and missed his train back home so he was moping about miserably. Then his Polish flatmate came home, took him to a park and taught him h

I don't share your optimism but I'm glad of it!

It used to be one of my favourite sites for weird DIY stuff. At some point in the mid 2010s I guess ad revenue tanked and social media killed their business model, and it made sense to cash in on their underground zine-y brand to hawk affil

We played the gregorian chant for about an hour every night when my kid was newborn. Not sure if it had any effect on him but definitely lowered our blood pressure! The white noise generators were also a lifesaver when working in a busy ope

One of my fondest memories of the early Web was getting awards on Newgrounds for my animations(I had one for 250k views. Pretty sure I got into the top ten at one point) , and logging in to read and respond to comments, and to see that view

>Don’t get me started on kids toys that are too loud! V-tech have a lot to answer for. As do all well-meaning relatives who buy them as presents. Straight under the stairs they go.

I had the idea to do medical animations in a very lo-fi style a while ago (plasticine, cardboard and yarn, that kind of thing), around the time when Don't Hug me I'm Scared first came out. I felt it could add a charming contrast t

I'd go further and stipulate spoken word only. Or shouted in town squares by someone wearing a tricorn hat.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but imo the lack of answers is because the phrasing begs the question. If you change "hide" to "protect" it suddenly becomes a bit more of a different proposition.

This article came at a very apposite time for me, I inherited a lot of family heirlooms and have spent the last three years avoiding doing anything with them, not knowing much about where they came from or why I ended up with them. A lot of

One thing I've come to understand about myself since my ADHD diagnosis is how hard thinking actually is for me. Especially thinking "to order", like problem solving or planning ahead. I'm great at makeshift solutions tha

I think kids just jumped onto Unreal, Unity and Blender instead of bothering with 2d.
