I agree, the system is very badly designed. Cars and bikes don't mix without carefully designed roads that make the lazy/default decision and the safe decision the same thing, because eventual complacency is human nature.

In that metaphor cars are a force of nature. I've also heard "the laws of physics trump the law of man", and "what's more important: being right or being alive". People choose to drive; people choose to cycle; and people choose to walk. When I choose to drive, I have the means to kill someone else and I'm damn well responsible for that risk. After all, the person I hit didn't choose for me to drive.

I also personally haven't had issues with this in Australia, but have seen it happen to friends who work in legal (many times).

My best guess is an over-zealous response to some content licensing deal.

There's something ironic about charging $75/month for this article.

A simple script that tallies up my cycling mileage based on Garmin activites, and makes me a reminder on my Google calendar when it's time to re-wax my chain.

I'm relatively new compared with you, but I've also found my MK3S+ to be super solid and output high quality stuff. I previously had a da Vinci Pro, and my best metaphor is that using the MK3S+ is like writing with a new pencil vs. one full of broken lead.

Each environment can have its own version of python which downloads with everything else (venv would require separate system installs for this).

Consider that your distraction-seeking might be avoidance of some (potentially deep-seated) negative emotions associated with working or the task at hand.

Glucose is also known as dextrose for its dextral (right-handed) chirality. Which means that left-handed glucose should be sinistrose. What a name!

Thanks!

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but why does it go anticlockwise?

The biggest issue for me was that you have to update widgets from the gui thread. Doing it from other threads still works most of the time, but then you sometimes get weird unpredictable crashes.

Let's not forget Sunrise calendar, which Microsoft purchased and supposedly integrated into Outlook. I miss Sunrise calendar so much... I've yet to find an alternative that reads from other calendar services and task managers so well.

Only for under 21s, and only recently. Once you hit 21, the rug is pulled out from under you.
