Data is ridiculously overpriced in the US. In the UK, I'm currently on a 12GB plan which costs £7.99 month. But you can get completely unlimited data including tethering for £20/month or less from lots of different providers. Neve

Exactly, unless you're a heavy gaming household I don't think you'd notice much difference. My mobile internet is more reliable than my fibre wifi.

Yeah, because rather than investing money in other areas, all of it goes to London. It is a self perpetuating cycle. The government could take steps and provide incentives to move industries out of London like politics, media, marketing, la

Yes and no. For the first three months of the year I was religiously journaling. Pretty much every single day, with weekly and monthly reviews. Then towards the end of the quarter when it became apparent that I wasn’t going to get my projec

This goes both ways though. In the UK, everyone outside of London and the Home Counties despises London because it gets far more spent on it than elsewhere in the country. Take transport for instance: https://www.statista.com&#x2

This entire argument is simple. If you’re a manager and you hire someone, you trust them to do the job you want doing. If you don’t trust them to do the job, don’t hire them. If you don’t trust anyone, then you have trust issues and probabl

The last tropical house one is better than the first one in that it gets the house 4/4 drums right whereas the first one sounds more like a rap track. It’s still got elevator music vibes though.

I was sold until I clicked through to the store and saw the price: £1299. Absolutely ludicrous given a Zoom H2 is £149.

It doesn’t and I say in my comment that it is not the same thing. Nevertheless it gives me the same uneasy feeling because you don’t know what features are going to creep into the language further down the road.
