It only opened a couple of days ago, so there's that, but I think you can expect it to remain in similar condition, notwithstanding wear-and tear for some considerable time. Graffiti is rare on the London underground, and is generally

There's the GitHub repo you can dig into. [0] From `package.json` it appears to have zero dependencies other than `grunt` and plugins as a build tool, so other than a handful of libs [1], it appears to be 100% organic JS. [0] https:&#

Besides salmon, and to a lesser extent tuna, which of those are high Omega-3? (Swordfish isn't common here, so don't know much about it, and I'm unfamiliar with the other two.) Smoked mackerel is another option. Sometimes has

What an incredible industrial process. So many people involved, and that was just the type-setting and printing. Incredible pressure too where if the product doesn't make it to market in time, the key morning sales window is missed, an

Interesting viewpoint, thanks for sharing it. I disagree, but at some point it becomes a personal perspective, so ultimately a point of philosophy.
