With the discussion of whether assisted dying should be allowed in Scotland befing brought up again, I was wondering what other people thought of the topic....
Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I’m sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?...
I’m looking to change my reading and buying habits away from Amazon and need an alternate source for my ebooks. Where can I buy ebooks that won’t expire or have their licence revoked and will allow me to download a copy of that ebook I can store on my own system regardless of the websites status?
I watched Nimona on the weekend, it kind of took over my life briefly. It was a blue sky project that spent several years in development before being sold on when the studio closed, bought up by netflix, set to release during the pandemic, then delayed. Let’s say my expectations were low but a depth chage came along and blew...
My PC is getting on a little, it’s running on an i7-4790k, 16gb ddr4, and a GTX 970. right now, it’s struggling some in most games even though I don’t play any triple A titles. What would be a sensible upgrade that wouldn’t get totally bottlenecked by the CPU?...
Not that I’m worried at all, I understand you’ll never get anything perfectly balanced. I’m more concerned by trying to closely match price and performance. I could buy a top of the range graphics card for £800 but it won’t even sweat at the CPU desperately trying to keep up. I’d rather buy a cheaper card that’s going to let me stretch my CPU without breaking the bank
I know I can get a better card that will let me better utilise my CPU and that my card is what’s limiting me right now so as long as I can bridge that gap as best I can I’d be very happy

They are fun to mess around with! Unfortunately I haven’t had many hits where I am but I’m currently planning on building a small grid of a few solar powered cells and putting them up as weather/air quality monitors around my area. They’re very versatile and I think once more people get into it it’ll become more like amateur radio except for nerds that like sensors and texting lol
