I don’t see this as anywhere near the same thing though. These so called ‘donkey votes’ are derided, and categorised as together with voting errors and other invalid voting forms. The right to withhold your vote is as fundamental as the ri

Thanks I didn't know that. Potassium iodate mostly elsewhere and iodide in the US, stipulated by the FDA, which seems the right conservative decision. Now I’m amused by our bemusement.

As a person whose lived mostly in the UK and Australia, and now the US for six years, I still can’t eat many American versions of things I know. Ordinary things like Kit Kat’s or any chocolate, supermarket cakes and so on. They’re almost un

I’m curious about this and will ask my mother who picked it up from hers, and she from hers and so on. I’ve even used it myself as a kind of victorian throwback pleasantry. It’s a meme rather than a mimic I’m sure. Just being polite when se

There are financial incentives to solve scheduling issues in the UK. Trains must meet a schedule within time limits. Failure to maintain reliability at a regulatory 90.9% can mean the loss of the license to operate. The UK interconnects wit

I have the same issue with freezing regularly. Using emacs aarch64 build and clang from llvm sources ( or OS X native clang, either one ) compiling in emacs window (Mx compile) and it will stop, hang for about 10 seconds, and then reboot. R

Yes I should have said zero to her at the various points of delivery. There’s a different method of accounting at play. Till recently a volunteer firefighter in an environment somewhat like California’s. You might call it socialism light. T

I think I can shed some light on that. The borers then would deviate from a direct line if they encountered soft earth, like chalk. There’s a section on the Piccadilly line where it avoids a section, straightens up and then avoids another s

There have been high quality loudspeakers available since at least the 60's, and arguably since before then. For example the quad electrostatic from 1957 or there abouts, a selection of which far exceeds the quality of apple earbuds or

Well, thirty from notting hill to heathrow by mini cab for me. If you mean the actual city that would maybe 55. Not sure if you mean the city, say Liverpool Street, or west end something. In any case that extra cash went straight to the dri

I'm a dual national UK/Australian resident in the US. If I were to find that I needed serious medical attention, I'd be on the plane back to either country as soon as I could. Out of interest I'll look up how much it cos

On the other hand, being afraid of all kinds of public ownership is not helpful. I'd bring national development banks into this. They proved themselves to be very efficient in the twentieth century in places that were at the time in ne

Well maybe but we always favour the right. It isn't really our right hand we are favouring but the others to our lefts right. In that lies the deferral. Standing still on the right provides a courtesy to the freedom of right handedness

Keeping to the right is a deferral that visitors to the UK can find confusing on occassion. Visitors can find it odd that while keeping to the left on roadways, the right is used when on foot and in need of order of movement. On tube escala

There would be for me if the price of SSD's come down enough. With my 2011 MBP and RME Babyface taxing the computer a bit too much with USB 2.0 context switching, my 120gig of samples streamed from disk would help while running this al

Film is 24/48 so 16/44.1 isn't what you'd call a studio master in general. A lot of music used in film originates from 44.1k CD's but then you have up sampling to add to the workflow. 16/44.1k is becoming somet

This is one of the reasons we have seperate collection bags for recyclable materials in the UK for households. We don't have the benefit of landfill space, and it's economically more efficient to seperate paper, glass, metals and

I don't and won't forget that event. It was part of a tendency to hysteria that prevailed at the time. I read the report on it, and there were many flaws in organisation, communication and action, from the commander level down. Th

Agreed. My servers are in the UK where the market I'm dealing with is, and where I live usually. Even setting up edge servers for an Australian company starts in the US or UK for me, and comes back over the sea pipes to Australia. When

Some good advise on this thread already, but a couple of hints I could add. Dig through sites like EETimes. There's a lot there to give you many leads into hardware. There's a wealth of information out there, but it helps to categ

My first ever downvoted comment alluded to the fact that my iphone earbuds were never used and collected dust in a drawer. The first pair I had with an iPod were quickly replaced by cheap AKG's costing about $7, and the pair in the dra

I was downvoted for a snarky comment about having to replace Beats if they were provided as the standard quality for iPhones in particular. OK that's fair. But with what I believe to have been Job's fastidious attention to quality

Reading through these comments, the thought of Apple bundling beats with devices scares me the most. Ironic that if I acquired another one of their devices, i'd still have to throw their headphones into a draw to collect dust.

So much of the online head-fi like chatter on this subject is near voodoo. I bought some Alessandro MS-1's which are tweaked Grado's after delving deep into online opinions, and they're peaky inferiors, an opinion objectively
