    I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

    If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

    I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.


  • The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

    I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).




  • As a Brit I was watching the storm coverage in the USA yesterday and marveling at the number of locations named after European towns, and chuckling at the lack of imagination of the early immigrants.

    Composed of 18 images, this natural-color mosaic shows a boulder field on “Mount Washburn” (named after a mountain in Wyoming) in Mars’ Jezero Crater. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles near the center of the mosaic. “Atoko Point” (after a feature in the eastern Grand Canyon). The images were acquired by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover on May 27, 2024, the 1,162nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission

    But it turns out nothings really changed on the naming front… however I’ve never had to name a place so I can’t really claim I’d be any better!








  • I’m clearly not understanding something here, but I thought search engines would require loads of space to index all the internet. Just thinking about the ability to search for code on stackoverflow seems like loads already.

    Edit:

    Found it!

    SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

    Looks very interesting, thanks for commenting about it.






  • Yes, these precipts seem to be common in the TV industry

    Ms Jefferies stresses the guidelines are not trying to put boundaries on storytelling … She says - and “these guidelines are just to bring it even more in line with the best practices in the film and TV industry”.

    And I can’t think of news stories that show this is a problem in terms of leaking a story.

    So, why not have the same degree of safety and protocols in game development?
