What conversation do you believe you're in? This is for UK chat about fish and chip shops.

And the answer to the question should have nothing whatsoever to do with a "fish guy" (FFS), but rather is a chip butty or chips and mushy peas

Freedom*

*To work really hard so that you can hand it all straight to banks

That looks like it would just about hold an old-school Palm Pilot or Psion - I can't see it holding even a small MacBook in that space

Bran flakes have a lot of sugar in them. I'm sure Special K does too, but I love it too much to risk checking

This is one of his best. Love the overwrought emotions in his hand in the last frame

You'll probably have more luck if you look for prescription cycling glasses - all of which should also be good for running. The market just seems to be bigger for cycling, to the extent I've often seen prescription glasses advertised in cycling magazines, but I can't recall ever seeing glasses marketed at runners

This CD was basically the soundtrack to my university years

Totally unrelated though, and just a coincidence. The word meme in the way we use it today was coined by Richard Dawkins in (IIRC) The Extended Phenotype. I presume it's an abbreviation of Mental Gene, or something like that. The idea was that a meme is an idea or concept that can fight for survival amongst other ideas, just as a gene tries to survive being being a good fit to its environment

Might be the best of the series so far. The stage task was dramatic, and Matthew's anticlimax well deserved that chef's kiss

If people are wondering how traffic noise is so deadly, it's usually things like hypertension and the effects of chronic sleep disturbance

Great thread from Ed Zitron with some thoughts on this, and extracts from the suit

 

Gboard is getting visibly worse almost on a daily basis, especially autocorrecting perfectly legitimate words, presumably based on dubious analysis of other people's writing. So what's worth trying? The ability to swipe type is a big plus

 

There are several roads near me where it's legal to walk - but where I know that walking would be extremely dangerous because of no footways, narrow carriageways and fast traffic. Is there a way to flag these that would help OSM-based routing services like Strava and Komoot stop recommending them? I know the local area well enough to ignore Strava when it suggests I run along these roads, but I fear for people who don't, and assume the route will be okay

 

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 turned on the workout recommendations on my Fenix 6 Pro months ago. I've been hunting through settings on my watch and in the app, but can I find the option again?

Could anybody put me out of my misery and remind me where the setting is?

 

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?
