I tend to follow Google Maps' advice only when there are no signals or directions as it most of the times sends me through the twisty local/secondary roads. It also considers that …

Don't forget that wind turbines still produce at night when there is less demand. So either you use that power to pump water upstream (if you have dams) or you can use it to produc…

Years ago the Portuguese government encouraged consumers to submit their receipts in a portal and each submitted receipt was a entry to a raffle where the prizes were luxury cars. …

Amazing! Thank you so much for this. I am getting myself an A3 diagram of my hometown.

I wonder how many people will actually buy this. Personally, I would rather get a box full of veggies than some internet karma.

Indeed. You couldn't offer the same level of services that a cruise ship does because of height restrictions and it's too slow for fast-paced youngsters. Price-wise it's hard to co…

I wonder if there are any costs to use the waterways. Even if the boats are slower than trains, couldn't it be the case that with all the layovers a train takes as much or more tim…

I could argue that that's just your opinion and of an handful of other rival club supporters.

It's a nice story but I've seen this parenting technique applied in our western society: - "Don't do this or the police will arrest you". - "eat you yogurt or that kid over there i…

I stayed a few nights in Ao Nang and even though is quite packed you can still find places to eat without reserving beforehand. I used it more as a base to visit the surroundings, …

the beauty is that one day you'll be able to sell electricity from your EV during peak hours, and recharge it when it's cheap.

I fill up every time I refuel and I take notes of the quantity and odometer and the average matches the dashboard.

Books would provide the general guidelines on how to do some stuff. I used a search engine (not sure if google at that time) to decipher the exceptions and it eventually would poin…

Some people need to feel offended just as I need my morning coffee. I'm not even counting how old is my pc/laptop and that's the thing I like about PCs - there's hardly anything ne…

As a windows phone user I hope this is merely a speculation. WP is a great platform for entry level phones. I recently upgraded my WP8.1 to Windows 10 and it runs like a charm even…

Great article. I find disturbing how some apps are so hard to use not only by the poor choice of icons, but by not providing immediate and clear ways to perform the most basic acti…

that's what I call good public service :D

Why do I have to download an app if I just want to use it in the browser?

good stuff. Anybody know there are material-design stylesheets for web development?
