   Also some pretty interesting tax and voting rules there ... Corporations get a vote, pretty much meaning they run the place. https://www.thecollector.com/what-makes-the-city-of-london-u... There's a good book called &q

   I can absolutely recommend osmand+ (Android) or maps.me (iPhone) for OpenStreetMap offline data. Streets better than Google maps ;)

   Funny, I find OSM most useful for all the little walking paths people plot... Way better than Google maps. No car based system will ever be good there.

   According to this link [1] I saw yesterday, the UAE is seeding clouds to cause rainfall too.... I'm not sure where this ends, but, once you start taking water which might fall someplace else it seems it might end badly.... 1. https:&#

   I have a handful of sites I run on a VPS with a basic setup, including MySQL. One thing I've always liked about MySQL is that it pretty much looks after itself, whereas with Postgres I've had issues before doing upgrades (this was

    Not all life though right? Usually accompanied by extinction events. Worth remembering that too.

    I'm running a pihole at home.. but, I definitely still see YouTube ads. I don't see how it's possible with a pihole to block YT as the adds are served from the same domain. I guess you're only referring to the Amazon a

    I went to college in Trinity and the Book of Kells is housed in the old library. Once you've finished seeing the book, you head upstairs through the Long Room, and that place is just special (they used it as the hall of the jedi) As a

    If you are going to try it... I'd discussed it with my two wonderful co-organisers before we put it to the group... and, we really would have shut it down. I think if you just half threaten, well, might not work so well :) We used a d

    I've been running my local ruby meetup for about 6 years now. It was pretty stressful to begin with, trying to get people to give presentations, or thinking of one myself. Then maybe 4 years ago I had the idea of threatening to shut th

    I keep seeing this suggestion (put devices on a subnet, lock them out of everything else)... Do you have a link or guide to help me understand how to set this up. It seems like a great idea!

    Damn right! I got awesome grades, no idea how anything worked(s) though! There were definitely people in my uni course who got worse grades, but who had a better understanding of the material.

    Have you looked at "Zen mode"? It removes the chat while you're playing ... you'll still see any insults after the game though ;)

    I'm actually sorry to see this down voted. I have a daughter, and it is just crazy once you start reading books how much is needlessly male focussed. From the first farmyard books where the boy is driving the tractor and the girl is in

    We had a delayed flight (24 hours) from Frankfurt to Christchurch, New Zealand. As the compensation is a sliding scale of time and distance we were the maximum. It did take about 4 months to get the money, but, Singapore air were very good

    How about a task you could pin to the top of your gmail. Maybe call it "Inbox". That'd be super handy rather than having to go to a different app to manage your tasks.

    I'm somewhat anxious at times, and definitely one of the things I'm paranoid about is getting bedbugs (hasn't happened yet!) One day our daughter had some small bites on her arms, and then we found small creatures in her b

    The rancilio looks great. A different comment said it takes 4 minutes to switch from brewing to steaming? Is that correct? I quite like a flat white in the morning and 4 mins is quite a while ;)
