Psychology gets unfairly singled out wrt replication but the same issues are found in a lot of other disciplines, such as biomed.

I really didn't like London when I was younger. It felt like my friends got sucked there after university but I couldn't see the appeal - too busy, too expensive. But now I'm older I love the place, especially anywhere near the river. So many great little hidden pubs. So many nice places to walk. Also, pubs

Psions were amazing. I had a Psion 3 in the 90s. That thing fell out of my pocket when I was cycling and a van drove over it - still worked fine. I'd like to see an iPhone manage that

Luckily derailleur hangers are standardized across the industry and so it's easy to pick up a replacement from any bike shop NO WAIT

Psychology has shown this is all too true: the minimal group effect.

She's crying because she knows he's about to say "Tibble" and their relationship will be over

Oil extracted near the UK doesn't get used in the UK - it goes to the global market.

All oil goes on the global market. Drilling for it here doesn't mean we use British oil here, and doesn't meaningfully mean the Saudis produce any less. The only way forward is to wean ourselves off being dependent on oil

It looks really good. Right now it can't handle Outlook calendars, but I'll try it again once that's working

It would be interesting to do a proper comparative lifecycle analysis. Treating, pumping and heating water isn't zero-carbon (especially if you run it for a while waiting for it to get up to temperature) and I'd be curious to know when is the break-even point that the carbon costs of a bidet beat a few sheets of paper

Wouldn't need to work so hard if you weren't making massive car payments

I don't know the Australian constitution, but I'm guessing there's nothing in there that obliges states to accommodate stupid decisions by national 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 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?

 

Ideally for absolute beginners?
