Sorry, I missed this - Quite simply my kidneys filter more than they're meant to, it's hereditary, as you've discovered. I've found that a cup of stone breaker tea once or twice a week keeps them at bay so that's well worth looking into. Look it up on Amazon.

I get one to two stones per year because my kidneys are over efficient. I'm fairly used to it now and can usually pass one with minimal discomfort, but every now and then it destroys me. The only beautiful thing about them is when they exit.

I grew up with the ZX Spectrum, initially starting out with the ZX80 and 81 which I soldered together myself with the help of my equally clueless father.

One of the most enduring and engaging aspects of the old micros is the inherent limitation of the hardware. You're constantly battling with extreme optimisation and utilising often quite hacky hardware tricks to do things that would otherwise be impossible to achieve while mastering the arcane arts of assembler. I think above all that's the beauty of them and why people are still supporting these projects.

I'm very sad about missing out on the Spectrum Next which is nearly due to ship their completed cased model after a successful release of only the board. Complete with keyboard and design from the recently late original designer of those same machines I had in the 80s, Rick Dickinson.

You can continue to cast the blame for frankly abysmal state of cyclist safety in this country, meanwhile cyclists die with alarming regularity however many of those factors are in play.

I moved to the US a few years ago and have already lost count of how many cyclists wearing dark clothing and no lights on poorly lit roads I've nearly hit at night.

I had to take a cycling proficiency test in the UK, here no one seems to have a clue, they don't even always ride on the right side of the road.

This woman neglected any due care and her death, while tragic, is entirely her own fault.

I wish I'd thought of that, now I have bad handwriting and a plethora of D's.

The takeaway being that the Kirin line of CPUs is proving difficult to create a backdoor for.

For me worse than shark was ordering lamb and being served an entire sheep's head.

No.

It's just that it's highly suspicious that anyone is making any type of mention of it at all.

It's the type of announcement that makes me wonder if they had the chip makers incorporate it specifically for them to exploit.

Here's the page for all who wondered.

Within the context of the prior and subsequent pages, it appears to be talking about AMD.

If improving stability was the intention, why haven't they ever warned anyone that it would make their expensive, perfectly functioning phone relatively useless?

Nothing about their reason rings true. If it were the case then why didn't the previous IOS installation have limited performance before the update?

Even more impressive, when in satellite view hold control, click and drag upwards.

I wouldn't even know my own neighbourhood as well as I do without Google maps. One of, if not the single most impressive digital feats freely available to all on the internet.

This seems like a last gasp attempt to tighten the monopoly, and it's doomed to fail. If nothing else, this will set the wheels in motion to bypass the established ISPs altogether, whether it's via node distribution or banking on Musk's satellite network. Or holding out hope that Google will pick up their fiber business again. Whatever happens, it's going to be interesting.

To be fair, the first season of TNG fared worse.

Hah. You're not wrong about calling it a downgrade. Absolutely everything I've tried has been a downgrade from pebble. It's as if everyone is deliberately avoiding what was, for me at least, perfection.

Someone posted a proof of concept a year or two ago on reddit.com/r/pebble Beyond that I don't know any specifics.

It lasts up to 10 days on one charge and the app has been decentralised, meaning it's not reliant on external servers.

Which, from your point of view, isn't a bad thing. It's no longer dependant on external servers, yet still enjoys a lot of support, is easy to code for, plus it's superb as smart watches go. Charging 3 times a month rather than every night means you can track your sleep with it effectively as well.
