There seems to me to be a lot of misplaced trust involved in connecting to Wifi networks. It's easy to set up your own public AP and why not call it "Netork Rail Free Wifi" or something? https://naich.net/word

Blog updated and the following added: Thanks to all the good people on Hacker News for their input, from which I've learned a lot. I should stress that any following advice is not from a professional plumber and is purely from my own e

Mate, I'm not a plumber and it's 100% written from the perspective of someone who is not a plumber. This article is not an instruction manual for plumbers, but a blog of what a non-plumber found to work for him.

Some of the prototype designs for the aerials are currently being made by a bloke called Pete, in the room next to me. He keeps his bike locked to a table and it gets in everyone's way, so we let his tyres down occasionally. They don

Has the 20-20-20 rule actually been scientifically verified as the optimal regime for relieving eye strain or was it something thought up by some bloke off the top of his head?

It's not opt-in for existing customers. At some point they will be presented with a screen that forces them to make a choice. If you think that all mistakes with the blocker will be ironed out, then you don't have any idea how la
