The problem with USB-a isn't that it's non reversible, it's that it's non-reversible _and_ rectangular, so it's not clear at a glance which way round it should go. All they had to …

"They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove them" - Rage Against the Machine

Or just buy real books. I ditched my Kindle years ago and have never looked back. Nothing beats a hardback.

I think the argument is that the further left you go, the more likely you are to explicitly describe yourself as an anti-fascist and make a big deal about your opposition to fascis…

Maths, science.

How old are you? If you're reasonably young, and vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about COVID this badly. Practically everyone I know has had COVID by now and for most of…

Plenty of people, myself included, use Brave as a privacy-focused web browser without using or caring about any of its crypto features. Hell, I've been using Brave for years and I'…

> there are still no discernible use cases for it. You are wrong. There's at least one discernible use case for Blockchain: the facilitation of crime. To that end, it's been very s…

You don't put those on until you're actually in bed trying to sleep. It still messes with you that it doesn't get dark when it's late and bedtime is approaching.

It's a buzzword used to disguise the fact that blockchain has completely failed to live up to any of its promises. In 2017 everyone was saying that "blockchain" was the future of e…

Honestly the only place I've noticed it is the petrol pump. Fuel prices shot up dramatically early in the year. They're back down now from the peak, but still higher than they were…

In the UK? Typically just one race: you vote to elect your local MP. You might also vote for someone to represent you in the devolved Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish governments if y…

What does 'advanced parole' mean in this context?

"Europe" isn't a unified system. Those benefits definitely don't exist in the UK, and I'd still consider our labour laws to be well-balanced and reasonably fair to both employees a…

Which country is that? Those benefits are insanely generous - the type that would make me never want to start a company there.

A lot of people reading this aren't going to understand what you mean by "checkout Postman". I'm guessing you mean "read Neil Postman's books"? If so, I agree - especially Amusing …
