I bought a thinkpad keyboard with the red joystick thing when I hurt my shoulder - it was only supposed to be temporary but I find myself rarely using my mouse. I’m not a great fan of the keys (especially compared to Mac keyboard).

Mountain Biking - you get a really varied cross section of society bonding over a shared love of getting muddy and acting like 12 year olds in the woods. My club’s age range is from 20 - 76, and contains aCardiac surgeon, plumber, retired c

I just wrote a long reply detailing why moderation isnt an option for people like me, but as usual the best explanation of my relationship with alcohol comes from the Westwing: > I'm an alcoholic. I don't have one drink. [pause

I take valafaxine / effexor for depression and I remember for the first week or so getting slightly high like as if I'd taken a low dosage of E which was my drug of choice (I had a highly enjoyable albeit mistaken early 20s). I of

The difference with France is that kids (at least mine) learn cursive from a very young age - in the UK where I'm from we learnt cursive when I was around 9 or 10 by which time the bad habits have already been formed.

I'm not surprised (albeit slightly saddened) - I bought my 6 year old boy the set pictured and the quality it terrible - it's plastic and the tolerances are so bad the nuts can never be done up to any tightness before slipping. Th

It's been a watershed moment for me and honestly, even after just a few months I can't imagine life without it.

> Not trying to be a jerk. Why give him an iPhone? A dumb phone is less risky and can still do text and calls. It's also easier to use, especially for elderly. Personally for facetime - my dad finds it easier to communicate (he is i

And how dense England is - I'm from Leicester and one hours drive (give or take) I can reach Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Birmingham, Sheffield, Northampton, Lincoln. Two and a half hours drive and it's London, Manchester, Liverpo

A good alu frame is more comfortable than a cheap steel or carbon frame IME. I think a lot of the perceived differences comes down to tyres rather than frame material - steel bikes are much more likely to have >35mm tyres than alu with 2

OP, my mum was 44 and my dad 49 when I was born - they were great parents and they both admit having me kept them young. I lost my mum this year due to vascular dementia but my dad is still going strong at 89 and in better health than many

Geometry and stiffness make the biggest difference to handling with weight being of negligible benefit (on a mountain bike a bit of extra weight can actually be beneficial on jumps). You and your son were probably simply riding better desig

Google Stadia - I got a free controller & chrome-cast in a promotion a while back and sceptically tried it expecting massive latency and poor image quality, but ended up being blown away. Being able to play RDR2 on my MB Air and then sw
