For the most part, city riding is pretty well served by Google maps IMO. A few years ago, following Google maps cycling directions me and a couple of friends on road bikes were led through muddy forest trails, old rail road tracks and green

I disagree that commuting by car is a waste of time vs public transport (depending on the person). I'm someone who cherishes a little piece of solitude every day. I'd be much happier self sufficiently making my way to my place of

Until about a year ago I was working as a FE developer for a major intenrnational bank. All the processes and knowledge were in place to make sure all considerations were taken with our software with regards to security. But... all that goo

More love for TrailRouter here. Especially love that you can export a GPX for a watch. I get stuck running the same unimaginative routes so even the ability to be able to have it plan a round trip from my house is amazing. Even more so that

Maybe if you bet on Burnley to win the premier League next season you will win a fortune. All signs, experience and educated opinions, however point to this being a losing bet

RE protein. We need far less than we're led to believe. Unless you're an elite athlete then you probably don't need to worry. I'm no elite athlete but I've been vegan 3 years. In those 3 years I've completed 2

If you're time starved and trying to work out like this, you're doing it wrong. There are much more time efficient ways to get some exercise. Rather than driving 20 minutes each way to the gym, just put on some shoes and run/

Apologies in advance for the (hopefully not) stupid questions from a layperson... How constant is the L2 point for the relay satellite's orbit? If I understand correctly, this is the "balance" point between the earth and sun&

Since we're all giving our UFO encounters I'll chip in with mine. About 25yrs ago as a teenager and utterly obsessed with the supernatural and the unexplained, my family were on a fly drive holiday on the west coast of the US. One

Piggy backing off this thread for my own question. I've a small webapp to show me my elevation based on my lat/lon. I built it with Google's API as I've used it before and it's what I know. It doesn't get much

I can't decide if I think it's real or fake. It's a very good doc and Timothy's footage could absolutely be real but the people interviewed, every single one of them, just come across as fake and very very bad actors. Wh

I did some work at my previous job building a slot machine game in Phaser 2. I'd never done game dev prior to this but found it really simple to pick up. From the knowledge I gained in this, I was able to make a simple infinite scrolli

I built a (very simple) game in Phaser a couple of years ago and used cocoon ( https://cocoon.io/ ) to package it up into an Android and iOS app. Basically it packages the HTML/JS/CSS app into a native webview. Phas

There's a lot of this stuff around! About 10yrs ago, my dad caused a lengthy shutdown of the channel tunnel after a piece of metal (he'd assumed it was a machine gun barrel) he picked up on the Somme battlefield was found in the b

I'm in the same as you. I've been dumping a few hundred a month into BTC, ETC and LTC for a few months and at the time of writing (BTC is currently hovering around 14k) my investment is worth 3x what I've put in. While I&#x27

Also back in the 90s, a friend of mine - who was interested in reptiles - used a much less sophisticated method to steal books about snakes. He'd drop them out of an open window and go outside and pick them up.
