I’ve nominated myself for work stuff I really didn’t agree with in the past, it was because I thought I could help said stuff not be a total disaster. Leading a country through brexit is a hell of a sword to fall on though. :/

I grew up in the UK where most towns and cities have roads going in all directions. I've always found the grid layout of US cities difficult to navigate, which is strange because it's objectively a much simpler system. The samenes

I'll reserve judgement on office until I see it running, but this trend towards moving everything to web tech is a little worrying. So many of my "desktop" apps feel slow and bloated now, and I keep seeing instances of decent

Apologies, I wasn't clear. The "If it's possible for you to live within your means" qualifier was for these sorts of things. Depending on their severity, addictions, felonies, learning difficulties and health problems (a

There's a huge difference between being first world poor, and third world poor. Just my experience, but my first world poor friends, without exception are all bad with money. They have little understanding of how money actually works,

This is the beauty of it - you don’t need to make thousands per month to work towards making thousands per month. The money you do invest can generate a return, which when re-invested compounds. Yes, this happens very slowly at first, but o
