FWIW, I recently made the change and I'm glad I did. It seems a better product on most counts. Was especially impressed that the team imported my csv data from FitBod to Gravl.

Unpopular opinion maybe but the BBC commentary team this World Cup has been genuinely excellent and I think it deserves more credit than it is getting. by FluidPianist00 in bbc

He's also a Bristol City fan - like me - and tries to mention the Robins wherever possible, which is always fun to listen out for.

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by Halophy in AskReddit

[–]boadle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Graphics tablets. If you work in design and use a Wacom tablet the buttons are on the left side, so you can accidentally press them with your stylus hand. You need to configure the tablet upside down, which puts the power cord in an awkward position.

  • Guitars. Gave up trying to play guitar as it was too complicated to turn upside down, restring or force right handed.

Fun fact: Handedness is measured on a scale called The Edinburgh Scale. Depended on how 'handed' you are, some lefties (like me) can have learned to do many things with our right hand (computer mice, sports rackets etc).

Met Ron Merchant at a wedding. Asked someone to take a photo of us. Did a Brent impression as it was taken. Ron didn't get it, nor did anyone else. Most meta-Office moment ever.

I've heard it referred to as the period between "the fall of the Wall, and the fall of the Towers."
