    I don't want to spend forever on this. Does anyone know where I can go? I got an OQuest2 gathering dust. It's a pain in the ass. Trying to use the (£80!!) wire is devastating. I ca…

    Not so much the food, but I am heavily addicted to Coke Zero. I tried on Monday to quit it after a 2 week focus to prepare and I failed within 2 hours. I have previously quit nicot…

    No "Never Combine"? :( Tell me it isn't so. I can't remember when that combine thing was added but the first thing I do is get that binned straight away. I haven't used it long eno…

    Forgive my ignorance and especially how broad a surface. I am actually clueless in the grand scheme. All our countries in some way buy everything from China, at least in the UK? Ev…

    That security key thing threw me and was so frustrating. I have an older iphone so unintuitively, I have to open the app and cancel the touch to login and then touch the "generate …

    Ask HN: Why does Reddit remove the account of a mass murderer?

    The answer may seem obvious from the title but I wondered who calls that shot? 1. Is it social Voldemort? "He who must not be named cannot have an identity"? 2. Is it companies (in…

    He "learned HTML, CSS, Sass, bootstrap, material UI, and Javascript with the setup he has made 2 months ago". No he didn't. If I could be bothered, I would take a picture of a rock…

    I do `new > text document` enough so in 20 years that I still do it for all types of reasons. Often I do it when I signing up for an unknown-if-useful service and copy paste stuff …

    I think Linus Tech Tips looked at one of these, if it wasn't the same it was similar, it was very jiggly and seemed irritating. I also thought that a Semi Circle chair which starte…

    It occurred to me that the BBC Micro (I didn't have one but my friend did) was pretty strange? Given the nature of the BBC (Licence fee for broadcasting). What was the funding setu…

    I get away with being "The grumpy Scotsman", it's got the point that I don't even get invited which took some work but wouldn't have it any other way. I am still held in high regar…
