Exactly this - tires can be a bigger impediment to travel than fuel - can be easier to get hold of more fuel in the outback than the tires you need. If you read it with that in mind it makes perfect sense: Although the team knows of ten oth

This is exactly what happened to my car - I fitted a reversing sensor (this was some time ago). About a month later the battery was flat - but we didn't drive that often so I thought it might be that. Charged it and was fine for anothe

I highly recommend this ride, it is so much fun. Just make sure you book the transport back and don't hope to get a train or public transport, just too many people!

No you are right and I agree many of the benefits overlap - but I know far more people in London that have tried the scooters compared to people that have tried the various hire bikes, plus know more regular scooter hirer'ers than regu

This is me also - in fact I generally come to the comments before I read the article and likely only read 1 in 4 articles - mainly enjoying the debate and insights here over the articles. It is one of the sites and start and end my day with

Firstly you need somewhere to keep the bike, inside is great but outside space can work, though you are at risk of having it stolen. The main advantage is having it where you need it - maybe you got the metro or the bus to work and now you

I would agree - BUT try 'Edison style' warm leds - these use the filament style. They last for YEARS, and give a soft warm light - the bulbs I have a dim (but then 'Edison style squirrel cage bulbs have always been dim).

Same here - I feel so lucky to have a 'shed/office' in the garden - means I can be around with 10 seconds notice if I've needed, but generally I am 'somewhere else' and everyone know I'm working and busy.

It looks to be very aligned to EURO7 standards - so great to see these coming in earlier in China than Europe, and will also mean that engines and set-ups can be reused. What are the standards in the US?

My kids and I would have been pretty happy with just access to non-game elements. They must have already made loads of 3rd spaces and models - just being able to hang out and explore them would be brilliant. Then if they started to layer ga

Here in the UK you could by a (cheap) whole chicken for £3 until recently, would be at least 1.5kg. Now a basic chicken is £3.66 at tesco for a 1.2kg chicken But likely the supermarket won't actually have many of these and the only cho

Serious question, Do you not know of the the terms left and right wing politics? Have you not previously heard of far-right, or do you feel it does not apply to this party? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politi

Because fascist is too loaded? Nationalist doesn't really cover the ideals this party represents. I wonder if this party would agree with 'far-right' as a descriptor? Some political movements here in the UK are (sadly) happy

Not the op - but I usually feel happier leaving my laptop and stuff when i go grab a coffee/lunch/toilet break in a co-working space, over a public library. I LOVE public libraries, but not always set up for working comfortably, e

Yes you can do it, and it is exactly what my father did while living in a caravan on his land. Sorted a place to wash, then cook, then sleep for each of the children. I never said you can't do it, just it isn't how it is normally

Very interesting figures. Crazy that the US increased by 10% and China by 20% in a year (and during covid) - but there is still a large gap between the figures. In a decade they may converge, but not yet.

Exactly - as I say: If you know exactly what you want and are happy to wait, then an agile methodology probably isn't for you. I think you missed my point, (sorry if it wasn't clear). An agile way of working can be right if you wa
