I loved this game! I'll never forget the time I came back from certain defeat when we suddenly passed a pub in northern England called something like "The Batley Marching Band"

So pleased you've shared this. I'd heard about how Taskmaster began as an Edinburgh show, but had no idea what it might have looked like

Outside peak hours, by very slow-moving delivery vehicles. This is a solved problem all over Europe

A few years ago I'd have jokes about data ports being the same fitting as power sockets, but USB-C has ruined that

I'm guessing there were three authors on this study, based on the "human" dots

I like to say "I have exercise-induced rhinitis. That means my nose runs when I do"

 

Gboard is getting visibly worse almost on a daily basis, especially autocorrecting perfectly legitimate words, presumably based on dubious analysis of other people's writing. So what's worth trying? The ability to swipe type is a big plus

It's a very American style thing. UK English media don't do this, and it always feels strange when I see it in US media

Thing is, a lot of these aren't that bad? Making an oxygen mask feels really different to just setting fire to the fossil fuel to shift a 3-ton vanity pickup truck half a mile to Starbucks. And lots of the others can readily be replaced. Clothes, for example: rayon from bamboo can replace a lot of polyester and nylon

A small local one. The big ones do great work, of course, but another £1000 doesn't change things much for them, whereas £1000 would make a tangible difference for a small charity

They don't make inflated profits for US companies. That's what this is about

Nothing more capitalist than expecting vast amounts of free infrastructure from the government

 

I've got an older machine that I'd like to give a second life. I've always been an Ubuntu fan in the past, but checking their site for a lightweight distri it looks like they've gone all 64 bit. Is that right? Can I still get a recent version for a 32-bit processor?

 

I turned on the workout recommendations on my Fenix 6 Pro months ago. I've been hunting through settings on my watch and in the app, but can I find the option again?

Could anybody put me out of my misery and remind me where the setting is?

 

I noticed today I was having to use fingerprint unlock every time I wanted to access my 6a, even though normally I use Smart Lock to keep my phone unlocked when it's near my Bluetooth watch. I just checked through the settings and Smart Lock has disappeared, as has on-body detection. Has this happened to anybody else?
