An interesting article re wildlife that lives at the ocean's surface and drifts around in the same way that plastic does and how this may affect it https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/01/ocean-cl... plus their response https://theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-ocean-cleanup-and-th...

They're using locking blocks at the ends to stabilise things

likewise The Staircase http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388644/ - it's 6 hours in full, but fascinating.

have you switched delivery to neighbour on the day? i have, to a direct neighbour, and the new date given was 24hrs later. I eventually cancelled delivery of that package because it still wasn't with me 4 days later. Generally i've had poor experiences with DPD, just like any other.

i have had issues with that on one occasion too, now i remember.. (package was refused by the shop, went back to the depot for another day, changing the address to my home added another day etc etc.)

Package delivery is never a good experience in the UK

i have my packages delivered to a friendly shop nearby - to my house, it's a nightmare.

The collect+ system also works reasonably well, i take that option if offered. (where it's delivered to a local cornershop or similar and you walk to pick it up)

I really feel there should be a gap in the market for "last mile" delivery to be solved properly, but i suspect there's not enough money to slow things down, and residential delivery is inherently difficult anywhere that doesn't have regimented street layouts.

Try addresses for all lo - if no reply, deliver to pre-arranged local shop. Text/email alert allowing redelivery to address or changed address within an hour or two, for a premium fee (bicycle couriers and other instant courier delivery)

that would solve all of my issues anyway..

The author is a world champion barista and ceo of Square Mile Coffee, he is not going to like the taste any of them - the taste is not the point!

I work as a messenger and yes - the way to avoid being turned into (the main issue, if you are on the inside of someone who can't see you or someone doesn't signal) is to push in front of and into the flow of traffic. I have no doubt that it is concerning and annoying to drivers, but they have then seen me.

Cyclists do not _want_ to be hit by vehicles - if they are not stopping, they have looked around and deemed the situation to be safe enough.. That's not to say it's legal, but they do not have a death wish.

A main takeaway from this article is that being an active parent in this way is NOT a middle ground - of course it's a positive thing, but it is in no way the same as letting your kids roam the few miles around your home without supervision. That teaches a whole bunch of different physical and social interactions you're not going to get tagging along with daddy.

Similarly the danish budget supermarket Netto uses a scottie dog as their logo

This, Litmus, and Mailchimp's responsive templates actually made the process almost enjoyable at times, in a kind of tables throwback way.

I occasionally have to visit offices where a single dog is brought in - they always smell strongly of dog, and often the dog will come and "greet" me. I'm not particularly keen on either of these aspects and as such it really puts me off visiting. I would certainly put that high on the list when considering taking a job in such an environment.

not in my experience of scotland, though i do know geordies and irish who say pants.

think i made my point rather badly.. gunpoint and spelunky were my examples of good gamemaker games which make money.

it's unfortunate that the process doesn't result in games that are particularly enjoyable to play.

Spelunky (the original - the newer, paid version is not made with game maker though was made possible through the popularity of the original) and Gunpoint were both made with game maker and have been very successful monetarily - Gunpoint in particular was the first game the author made, and its success means he is now a full time game developer.

Obviously this route requires a lot more risk for a lot more time, but game maker is capable of a lot more interesting things.

what happens when you develop unexpected gastric issues mid-30 minute journey?

while i don't have a handy link doubting this one, there's not actually any proof that he really spent 24 days "hibernating"

and documented doubts about those cases http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/sweden/9106...

could you "breathe" a small volume of something inert in and out, and have a CO2 scrubber?

this question exposes my ignorance of how lungs work, but in a situation where the lungs were in good working order, would carbon dioxide build up in them (to be breathed out)?

this is imo a much more interesting endevour - here's a video https://vimeo.com/69901706

really does not look at all promising right now and personally i think there's a good chance it could come to nothing.. but he has a pretty decent past record having developed a couple of bikes and riding positions that proved superior http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Obree

so how can i access recordings away from my phone?

and a delete is vital. you should really warn users that they can't delete right now.

one of the major points made in the documentary is that the guy making bombs in the afternoon is one of the bad guys, but calling him out one way or the other is a terrible idea for your average village. the reason they aren't pointing out the bad guy is because as you say, that robot truck is going to leave that evening. you don't want the bad guy's friends to find out, and you don't want the robot truck to start firing.

i'm happy to pay but want to look at other options too - do any other reader alternatives offer web and android?

This is cool! but this presentation has one of the worst examples of chrome's windows font rendering issues i've seen.. chrome: http://i.imgur.com/DT6qDKg.jpg ff: http://i.imgur.com/bUG6sxi.jpg

i realise you want the actual answer here, but if i was going to sell my own stuff, i would be using bandcamp http://bandcamp.com/ and have as a buyer many times. it's simple to set up and purchase from, is the main selling point.

as long as there's no fog or clouds, anyway.

anything bigger than bumble.
