Missing the point a little, tsunami's are not comparable to ocean waves. They ARE more like a huge, very fast, rising tide, modelling is not the same as a breaking ocean wave. This research impacts the modelling for ocean or coastal st

My partner didn't drive until my daughter was 8yo. They bused around most places, as a result, daughter and wife now refuse any offer of a bus journey...

I was a postie for a short while. A particular row of houses had no number 63, 61 and 65 were next door to each other. I always wondered if I posted something to 63 would it land in my sorting rack? Sadly I never tried, but I am fairly sure

The first commercially available Acorn RISC processor was released as a co-processor for the BBC Micro. Acorn always had processors on the mind it seems as the Tube interface and protocol [1] is solely for co-processors. There's an exc

I feel like I was shown the event in a public service broadcast type documentary at school. Sticks in the memory. Along with the nuke Sheffield film, which didn't seem too much off a loss to us southerners at the time!

My mum has told me about her shopping habits in the 70s, she would have a list of everything they needed, she would walk around the first shop writing all the prices down. She would walk around the second shop buying the items that were che

Which meant that everyone around got the tinny dings of your music, so it was quite anti-social and you were asked to turn it down (by family or companions, rarely strangers) which usually meant you couldn't hear it well over the ambie

I played through the game a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed it, thank you very much for creating and sharing it. Seem to remember getting stuck on level 2 for longer than is probably reasonable...! Will definately check out wordbots.

In England, if no contract exists but rent is being paid a tenant has quite alot of implied rights in law. Though enforcement of these rights would normally fall to larger organisations such as charities or councils rather than individual t

Just to be clear, a tenant cannot be kicked out after a month. A section 21 notice requires a tenant to hand back possesion in 2 months, if a tenant does not the landlord may make an application to court for a possession order (which WILL b

Acknowledge the use of disrespectful as not ideal language. And I've nothing against moving cars into front gardens, living in a car dependant society is not any individuals fault. I'm strugling to describe the behaviour well. It&

There are government resources available which give also give daily pollution forecasts and all bathing water quality testing data, overflow locations etc. The testing is pretty good, I've seen them don a wetsuit and swim or wade out a

I feel that a good build is just as important as a high price. Above the very cheapest bso (bicycle shaped object) a reasonably priced bike can be amazing, but it might need striping and rebuilding properly. There could be a correlation her

I had a solar powered project setup with environment sensors in my shed. After a while the bugs moved into the elctronics, corrosion ensued and caused shorts which killed everything. The lesson I learned is to seal project boxes up really w

Conversly, my observations from Cornwall have been the opposite. I haven't seen cuttlefish bones in the numbers I would expect over the last few years. And the ones I have seen have been tiny. That is until this last weekend, when ther

3.5 floppies were the peak of media for me. Built in case, small enough to fit in a pocket, small and light enough to carry a handful around all the time, cheap enough to share freely, tactile. Nostalgia alert, I recall this from my school

Continuing this thought, consider a photo may be genuine but the actual scene is faked. Will pass all tests.

Further aside, it's possible to have both Docker Desktop and the normal linux Docker.io installed on WSL. They work in isolation, the easy way to know which is active is to check if Docker Desktop is running or not. I wouldn't rec

Coincidently, they also discovered 'living fossils' amongst the entertainment acts at Butlins Minehead. Some were said to rival the tree fossils in age.

I like to think that each individual has a limit to their ability to access the physical world around them, which will likely go up and down through their lifetime. Factors which might affect this limit are physical or medical differences b

Very accurate. The way I try to describe it, like a worn out recharchable battery- only charges to 80%, runs down quickly when you try to use it and takes ages to charge back up again. This is in some way trivialising the suffering, but I f

I think Scratch makes a great introduction to programming because of the playfull assets which are bundled with it, sprites, sounds, backgrounds etc. This significantly lowers the bar to making something productive and visually stimulating

I recently made an xbox 360 chatpad work with windows using an esp32. It's kind of a grail moment when you search about it. A bit late to the party as the modern chatpad + controller do work, but 360 controllers and chatpads are very i

The metre is not used for everything. The standard for construction and manufacturing is the millimetre. In the UK a standard kitchen unit is a 600(mm), with 300 and 900 varients. Appliances come in 500, 600 and 900 widths, that being the g
