They've been abysmal and borderline criminal since the start. They randomly withheld £20k from a business I was involved with for no stated reason and no direct means to talk to a human about it. It took months to resolve. And as for t

(Not recommended at home kids) use a key (or, safer, an upside down UK Earth pin) in the Earth hole to open the Live/Neutral shutter - then insert the EU prongs. The width of the EU prongs is handily the same as the UK holes. Touring m

Well clearly it is complicated as this comment thread shows. Many people don't feel thirst because of age or other reasons or confuse thirst with hunger.

Dailies were a vast improvement in comfort and convenience for me over permanent lenses that required cleaning and storing overnight. Permanent lenses had also led to some blood vessel overgrowth due to lack of oxygenation. Using a new pair

Passkeys work very smoothly with Safari and Apple Passwords. Apple Passwords now sufficiently good to replace 1Password for me and I’m slowly transitioning. I don’t mind subscription models per se but there was something about subscription

I thought the second and third books were also great, but different flavours, he didn’t just repeat. The second goes for more of a horror angle and has some incredible moments. The third is one of the most ambitious books SF novels I’ve rea

Cline is great in terms of VS Code integration but was costing me about $5 an hour in API tokens working on a small two page next.js webapp.

I disagree with your definition of a “proper” rave. Not inclusive enough. There was loud rave music & ravers having a great time, ie it was a rave. Raves happened in secret and in the open. I went to both kinds. Pros and cons to both.

Have used most browsers since 1993. As an end user Safari is not comparable to how IE was. Safari has been my daily driver for a decade. Clean, integrated well into MacOS. Just works. I only have to crack out Chrome for the odd awkward webs

A Fire Upon The Deep, shortly followed by A Deepness In The Sky (which is even more page turny but kinda requires AFUTD. Across Real Time is also great and shorter.

Children of Time series a slog? Wow. It’s a page turning spine tingling, rip roarer. Stuffed full of high concepts, great characters and wry humour. As is the second book. Which kind of adds a horror slant. The third book is more ambitious
