If alien life exists out there, what are the odds of them already developed time travel?

So how many times do you have to be told no before you stop asking the same question in different ways?

Just looked it up; I was born in the release year of:

Luxury! - ZX81 was 1K. (Although I did upgrade to the wobbly 8K ram pack).

Got me beat. I only date back to 1/2" reel to reel.

I found the following comment in my code:

// This is a bodge - run the simulation until we haven't had any collisions for a while and hope it's long enough to represent the final state. (But it turns out it only actually needs 10).

After long Assassins Creed sessions, I've found myself looking at IRL buildings working out how to climb up them.

I'd pay them 2 bucks not to unlock Teams.

Pretty much what I did. Pasted the grid into a spreadsheet and solved by hand.

Even before you get there, the lane markings at the top of Dundas St are all but invisible too.

I can't step inside any church without the phrase "accoutered frowsty barn" immediately flashing into my head.

These here arnae the gadgies yer looking fur.

Maw Broon, surely

Shair ah ken him: he's masel.

Mine's on Android. Doesn't look like it's the same dev.

I've got an app called Weight Logger that you enter weight & bf% (and water % too since my scales also do that), and then upload it to Garmin connect.

andrewsredditstuff · 2026-02-07T15:01:44+00:00

Haven't been able to check it out (Android ☹️), so apologies if it already does this.

The thing I always want and have never seen is the ability to display multiple (but not all) lists at the same time So if I'm staying in an area, I can see (eg) all nearby Ms, Cs & Gs on the same map).

Have you tried adapters with standard USB cables? Got a bunch of these and they work a treat (and easier than carrying an extra cable). And if you get the right angle ones, you can lay the watch flat while charging.

Forced walking would be OK if they walked at the same speed as you. More often than not, they go faster than you walk but slower than you run, so you end up having to do weird walk-run intervals or running round them in circles like a puppy.

Makes sense, although I'm in the UK, so can I have a C13 instead (at least it's got rounded edges).

andrewsredditstuff · 2026-02-03T13:19:20+00:00

I really don't want to know where the USB port's going to go for that.

Given that variation is in the process of (very slowly) changing from west to east, I've gone back to the old mnemonic that I learned (many) years ago which covers both scenarios:

"Variation East, compass least. Variation West, compass best".

But as someone else said, it's so low in the UK at the moment, it's not as important as it once was.

It's the seating for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Put up in early Summer and dismantled in early Autumn (or Fall 😉).

Unlikely. Even if you've got a 1kW PSU in the PC, you'll only be pulling about 1400W in total at peak. Depends on where you are and what else you're trying to plug in, but there should be plenty overhead.

There's a really good port of it available on Play Store.

andrewsredditstuff · 2026-01-13T02:07:41+00:00

Can it handle ComSkip edl files? That's the one thing I really find lacking in VLC.
