    I was running a DnD online game and didn't feel that all the battle maps out there were easy enough to use. I am running using a screen share on discord so all the extra features o…

    Good article and I was shocked to see a picture from my old office at the top of the page!

    I know it's not the point of the comment but it's a bit of a flawed analogy. Microwaves have wone to a large extent, such that people without them are a bit of an oddity, and cooki…

    I am using AI a lot to do tasks that just would not get done because they would take too long. Also, getting it to iterate on a React web application meant I can think about what I…

    Well unironically you would be safer if you did that! Although it's a trade off between looking ridiculous and being safe. I personally don't think bike helmets should be mandatory…

    I have done that multiple times in the past but there came a point where I couldn't "white knuckle" my diet any more. GLP-1 has really helped a much better quality of life - lower …

    London had the tube bombings, but there is no security scanning there.

    The patients can also see the posters, and it won't be background noise for them, so they can think of asking about it.

    As someone who has been fat and not-fat throughout my life, I think literally everyone knows that it is simple to lose weight by eating fewer calories. That does not mean it is eas…

    Not sure about the amp, but the Yamaha Pacifica I have is decent. It's been used in a stage show successfully (not played by me), and the artist was very happy with it.

    I think it's more to warn a motorist to be mindful of slow moving people. And older people do occasionally fall over too.

    I think that is one of the things that you are supposed to learn at college, in my experience.

    I am listening to The Path of Kings, I was put off by the length at first, but now I can't put it down. They are such good narrators.

    Often this is to do with making a site work across browsers. IE11 is the bane of our lives! Plus doing the transpiling allows using things like Typescript which is a godsend on a c…

    As there are relatively few goals, anything that can turn a goal into not a goal or vice versa can have a massive impact on the game. For example the penalty decision against Croat…
