    Or you could use the browser/windows(?) shortcut Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End, or Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Down. OR just use the 'take the elevator' link on the page itself.

    You're basically saying "don't own something nice if you don't want it stolen". More needs to be done to tackle bike theft. Be that education, physical deterrants (cameras, good qu…

    I've been looking for this for some time. It's really useful to be able to easily find out which streaming service a film/TV-show is available on (or not on!). Are you making any p…

    I love the aeropress for ease of use, would definitely recommend. I've only used a moka pot a few times (one provided at an airBnB actually), and I'm interested in getting one, but…

    I love the concept of this, although I can't see it working out for me personally, as I often find myself meticulously re-writing text, so I'm hesitant about hand-written text (may…

    I'm fairly certain that my ISP was affected by this causing an outage of all internet traffic for my network. So it seems possible, although I imagine using an alternate DNS provid…

    Some episodes of 'Love Death + Robots' (Netflix) have caused me to double-take as I didn't realise at first they were CGI. There's a BTS video[1] about the animation on one episode…
