I remember Wimpy from my school days. I have never, and probably will never, eat anything as monstrous as Wimpy's Bender in a bun with cheese.

I'm fascinated by what prompts lead to 'Please try a different prompt.' New Zealand or Australia lead to the aforementioned error, but The Antipodes generates a set. I thought indi…

His recent announcement to bring in a policy to make former Prime Ministers do National Service really did bring tears of laughter to my eyes.

I didn't think anyone would have a toaster as old as mine, I might take mine with me just for preservation.

There's a strong possibility I'll be moving from the UK to North America this year. I've found myself looking at all my "stuff" and thinking about what's actually worth taking with…

I found the abstract of this article to be quite interesting[0] and reflects my own experience of WFH. Pre-pandemic I was always in an office and now I'm always at home, I definite…

I agree with this. I hate exercise so I go into the office a few days a week and I cycle to get there and back which is roughly 10 miles in total. Without that commute I'd be too t…

In the DevOps/OnCall role you have to be prepared to deal with "all kinds of software bugs and hardware deviations on a daily basis" which doesn't sound like a barrel of laughs.

I thought this was satire at first pass. “I don’t expect most people will buy into our long-range vision,” Weyl said. “We need to give people breadcrumbs to follow." Just so long a…

Until a major party comes out with a manifesto pledge to offer a public vote on moving to Proportional Representation I'm not sure why anyone would bother voting Conservative or La…

"Unfortunately, there is no cure for narcissism" I can't imagine this will ever change. How do you encourage someone who seeks the admiration of others at all costs to simply stop?…

I read a few blog posts about FIRE and they seemed to promote spending less now so you can work less in the future. That's fine, but there rarely seems to be mention of risks with …

I only recently heard of this idea at the AWS Summit when talking to a rep of one of your competitors (Zesty), they have a minimum spend of $7k. Your pricing page says there's no c…
