I did ponder this for a while and from the possible answers I've got, I believe the best one is that rich people tend to love sports that you can win at without having to compete against anyone. I think there are two kinds of sports, o

I think that public transport can radically shape an area, for example, see this video [1] about how the Edgware area developed, after getting a tube station (and how other areas lost). I recommend the entire channel btw, very informative a

The biggest wtf here is that only some exports are GPL only. One has to wonder if there aren't any ulterior motives for this cherry picking.

how? if profession A gets more demand and pay, does it matter if profession B gets more or less? Is it that damn important if A makes more than B or if B makes more than A?

It's obviously fbs fault that you can't educate your kids or even control them. Fb did not put a phone in your kid's hands to shut him/her up, you did.

They said the capped the APM, so the game is fair from this point of view. They also said that while the agent can see the entire map, it mostly uses local views of sort. I assume because moving the camera costs actions.

I think you are just trying to be that guy. I go to this website, pick what I want, pay and some time later what I ordered gets delivered to my door. What's there to get?

To be pedantic, the topic started about "wayfinders". But that shows I'm an idiot, so let's not talk about that

> The mirror is for the small optical viewfinder That's what I meant. It didn't occur to me that the bigger display is a viewfinder too...

why they need the mirrors then? (genuinely asking)

by pbalau 8y ago
The biggest difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless is the wayfinder: on mirrorless you get digital vs analog on dslr (via the mirror system). In terms of controls, both have more or less the same, with some naming differences. I would g

Not doing php anymore, but I used to have a similar setup as yours, with the only difference that I had a FreeBSD server instead (that acted as my nfs, dev server and at the beginning as my router too, quite fond of that server, brought it

Mate, I think you might have some logic issues... I doubt the police told your friends to sod off. And what exactly did you expect them to do? Get 10 patrols, 1 heli in the air, organize a man hunt to find a bloody phone? Try reporting a cr

Very British comment, this is :) As a Romanian living in London, I find the parts of the public transport I used so far to be at least good enough. I'm travelling, fairly often to Essex, from London to Colchester and I find the trains
