I'm not sure I properly understand what these maps are visualizing. I'd have expected the London public-transport map to heavily compress adjacent tube stations and expand tube "dead-zones" but this doesn't appear t

I'm pretty sure all things you experience in this world can "directly biochemically alter the body". This isn't all that pedantic a point either. Your body directly produces neurochemicals from sense data, and, that incl

I love to waste mental energy on having a good time - chess, puzzles, board games, crosswords, programming. But spending time with people isn't like that. Talking to a group of people I half-know is like someone has slipped a hobby-kni

These labels are quite obviously overused. Like most social characteristics, there is a spectrum. I can, and have, gone without seeing another person for months - and I've barely noticed. Now, I go into work five times a week. I do thi

I read the details of the auction out of interest. I think it is valid, and in the best interests of the creditors as it currently stands. Interested to see how others have read into it that they offered "more". It was a blind auc

Any idea how they manage to get clearly defined nebulae in the skyscapes? I've never seen it before; is it a new technique, filter or a composite of smaller angle shots?

I live in NW5 - the reason for the stable prices is that there was an episode of extreme house price growth in the area circa early 2010s that has completely flat lined, and in some cases, reversed. Some might argue this is a case of consci

My Texan mom was visiting me in London and we went to a bit of an upscale café. My mom tried to order an iced tea, the server politely informed her that they did not serve iced tea. She then proceeded to say "Oh darlin', in that c

I had a sweet tooth as a kid. I treat candy and ice cream like a drug addict does. It can't be in the house, I won't even let myself have some on special occasions. There is a circuit in my brain completely broken by this; evil.

One death is a tragedy, ten thousand deaths is a statistic. Human psyche is built to understand death this way, don't pretend we are not. They are merely alluding to the fact that there are many millions of impossibly sad and tragic de

A well made point, but you won't get through. When you're in the fad, it's the center of the universe. Plus there will be an endless number of presently unknown medical worries and niggles. It all comes out in the wash, the b

My 2c as a local: I live in zone 2 and at least anecdotally I am in disagreement with your point here. So I looked it up in your link from TfL - "There are 2.56m cars licensed in London. This equates to an average of 0.3 cars per adult
