Hamlet has all the best lines, but by god do you have to slog through so much of the play to get to them, including Ophelia's endless wailing. I've seen it half-a-dozen times and it is never ever not a slog in some way, not with A

Not all people born in Europe are caucasian, you know! And the OECD argues that major world cities often have more in common with each other than other cities and towns in their own countries, in both demographics and challenges, and I find

An FB friend is forever blathering on about Vienna and while I think it’s a nice city, her photos and my own limited experience suggest that it’s a great city to live in if you’re Caucasian - how diverse is the place really?

Hamburg recently, I was offered 2K less than the polite minimum in the range I had to suggest (the company never suggested any range to begin with, should have been a warning). Offer was 75K, I was very unimpressed, TBH. Huge company.

Neato - I made an RPI bus arrival sign for my desk, wondering if I can repurpose these fonts.

Alcohol is an acquired taste, and so are low/zero-alcohol beers - if you can slowly get used to the better wheat beers you give yourself a ton of headroom in pubs. I quit the booze with the drinkless technique in which you measure your

I have fond memories of writing HTML with it, and various other things, but I almost never use it anymore. The regex playground is awesome but I never think to use it, even though I still keep a licensed copy around. I use Neovim a lot more

Agreed - I picked up an MBA as a second device for a job and then switched my main laptop to an M1 Max for development, photography, music and usually all running at the same time (IntelliJ, Photo Mechanic/Capture One, Logic Pro) and t

True, yet the data shows they're not drinking as much outside pubs or venues either. The price rises have been here for decades, my old local landlord pointed at the Stella tap and said, "you can't be premium in pubs and chea

My mate - for some unknown reason - bought a pub and lamented that "the kids aren't drinking anymore!" which anyone who goes to a lot of gigs could have easily observed. Booze is the worst, even though it can be awesome. Pers

I was wondering much the same, except I note that my pal’s massive Quads and the older radiator-like versions at uni were still crazy heavy due to the power supply (I assume) and they were a bit short on warm bass, perhaps these “new” speak

Miyosmart lenses for kids have proven to be excellent so far, but I have become happy with my myopic superpower of magnification. Just hope my eyes don’t fall apart internally as I get old.

Heh, once again, my old optician John Rose in London is some years ahead of the curve, I’ll be darned. He’s had this red light therapy bed installed at his practice for a few years now. https://johnroseeyecare.co.uk/services

It started working! No idea, I’m going to try and fiddle with the browser and try to break it again. I did see a few JavaScript errors in the console but not sure if they were caused by: a) my blacklisting at DNS level b) my browser plugin

Sadly, I fear Wendy has already vanished from current culture as I cannot access her work, only reams of writing on her. I have the Clockwork Orange LP that I bought in Canada for $5 back in 1998 but attempts to get much else have failed. I

I don't think this is quite that simple, because one user's authority could potential trump everyone else's in a company or group, once a vulnerable device infiltrates the system. Having trusted authorities works well when ev

I had an F2AS for many years, excellent viewfinder indeed, 0.8x, the same as non-HP F3, but quite a beast to carry around. The ME Super had even bigger magnification but probably not a 100% coverage screen. I only sold the F2 motor drive la

The UK drivers licence expires at the age of 70, and henceforth must be renewed every three years after that point.

Funnily enough, just today I’ve decided, or submitted to, running my current non-EV car until the death (it‘s, or mine). I’ve only got 20 years left on my driving licence and I can’t imagine affording a comparable EV (I drive a 2013 Audi 3.

I bought an awesome Xerox duplex colour laser two years and can confirm. Superb. Way better than the Samsung/HP thing it replaced. About to put more after-market toners in tomorrow

Incredible the things that are allowed onto public roads in the US. Impressive project, nonetheless.

Indeed - that made me laugh. I've a single ZM lens left over after I sold my M9 and I'd really like to get it back to active duty. The price of ANY M-mount camer body is excruciating. I really liked the project info regarding shut

I had an 800 and it was slow and heavy to my mind, was not devastated when it was stolen. We didn’t see too many 400s in the UK, I think they were all unofficial imports but was a long time ago to remember. Mate has a VTR1000 Firestorm if t

You don't need permission to make a cover, in America, there's a thing called a compulsory mechanical licence that anyone can obtain. Prince was notorious for "denying" people permission to cover his songs, but in realit
