Likewise in trail running, Aonijie is building a decent reputation for accessories.

"exagerrating a bit" ? I've bought a few things off Temu and Shein, and the quality's been perfectly acceptable.

Where I've seen the difference is in the quality of the instructions (which matters) and the packaging (which arguably doesn't). The bricks themselves are, as you say, basically flawless.

The display on my Samsung S21 (with original, unchanged screen) turns pinkish when I'm wearing polarized sunglasses - presumably it's filtering out part of the blue wavelengths. Mildly irritating when I'm driving and using it to navigate.

That's just modern fashion - in other eras "flowery" language would be considered superior.

Might have to have a read of that - reportedly my grandfather worked on antifreeze solutions at the NPL in London during WWII. Be interesting to see if any of his work is referenced.

Cork trees are an exception to this, and are harvested all the way round without harming the tree.

It's amusing to try turning it round, makes you realise just quite how sexist it actually is:

"No, of course I'm not offended by being called a firewoman, why would I be? It's clearly referring to both women and men" - Jake Miller, Firewoman, Springfield Fire Department

I'd add a working knowledge of regex to that. With a decent text editor + some fairly basic regex skills you can go a long way.

Not only that, but a whole load of the services in Amsterdam will only accept Dutch debit cards. Which is just great when you've got a Spanish credit card (that you've used all over the world, just not in Amsterdam...)

The Weezer video it included! Still love that song!

I find the easiest time to do this is at midday. It's a great way to wake you up from your after-lunch slump. The kids aren't around so no one's expecting you to help take care of them. And it's a lot easier to explain to your partner that you have to work 30min more, than it is to tell them you're heading out on your own for a walk :)

They don't in Spain. They might be able to read it (just about), and given a week or two on holiday they might be able to understand a fair bit... but fluently? No.
