I’m sad that scooters are illegal to ride on the road here in the uk. I’d happily pay maybe £50 a year for insurance and tax if it was an option. For a while I rode my father’s scooter around town, it was brilliant for short errands and fit

This brought back a memory of living in Byron Bay Australia in 1999 - there was a person who’s full time job was driving around town with a trailer, collecting shopping trolleys and returning them to the Woolworths supermarket. I’d never se

Well wonderful work. It will go on my long list of projects to borrow from - I love multi functional furniture. I really wanted to find a way to hide our bedroom TV either in/behind a chest of drawers, or behind a 2 way mirror - but at

That is excellent! I followed more of the 'just slap speakers in it' method - I have an old 50s record player that I got as a teenager (in the 90s) the bass on it was stunning, so I played it to death until the values blew. I then

Stunning machine - was shocked that in 1980 30 inches was the largest CRT - but that makes sense I suppose - we really are spoilt with screen sizes (and costs) now.

Oh yes, this is on the luxury side - but it is a great serviced apartment, on par with a hotel experience. You can definitely get far far cheaper accommodation in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, but if you are bringing a western wage or s

A friend asked me to visit them in the states, there is no way I’m going currently - hopefully at some point in the future. I’ve had fun there in the past under Republican administrations - so this isn’t a blue/red thing - it just does

A friend of mine works in Bangkok pretty regularly, so it ended up cheaper to rent an apartment than get hotels (plus he can leave clothes etc behind.) A nicely sizes 2 double bed apt is £450 a month all in including utilities - plus a pool

I'm rather unfit these days - but as a teen I could easily do 3mins at my desk in a class. I can't remember the volume but we did a lung capacity test at school and I had the highest in the class, despite not being sporty or activ

Did you use GenAI to write that question? It looks like you want a GenAI answer. Questions for you: 1. Does the start up have a clear product strategy? If so ideas should come from that. 2. What is the measure of success for the start up -

I remember seeing these on some tech show here in the UK - and being in love with the idea - seemed so cool and 'archivable' for a young person to own. A few years later they were dirt cheap on ebay - new/boxed, but by then t

Agreed - 95% of the questions I ask Copilot, I could answer myself by searching emails, Teams messages and files - BUT Copilot does a far far better job than me, and quicker. I went from barely using it, to using it daily. I wouldn't s

The embedded video is awful - watching houses washed away. The more regular occurrence of these cloud bursts and floods is worrying.

Worrying for many reasons. Quote: Beyond surface darkening lies a second threat: methane. In many parts of the Arctic, glaciers and permafrost cap vast underground stores of this potent greenhouse gas, preventing its release. Recent studies

I think the issue is for the animals that actually need a colder climate and/or rely on ice/snow cover - a warming world won't give them a new space to move to (yet).

I posted similar about UK waters the other day - it isn't as extreme here but it is noticeable, on Wednesday I completed a 2+ hour snorkel (with a wetsuit) when I'm often too cold after an hour. Last night I snorkelled for 30 minu
