I've got one episode left of Star Trek: Discovery series 4, and the good news is the show's been picked up for a fifth series. They've also almost finished shooting Picard, series 3, which will be the final series. I found Discovery a bit on the painful side, this coming from a die hard trekkie. To...

Most governments have been on a gaslighting campaign for the past couple of years. Now thugs are trying to start WW3. Part of recovery is recognising what the cause is. Are there help lines? I wouldn't bother with a GP, they'll just refer you elsewhere or try and sell you drugs. I'm seriously disill...

You have i-love-streaming-itis. You'll never get over it, it's just too convenient.

The bike analogy is a good one. In this case your chain keeps falling off, so your chain has worn out (you've replaced your belt), your chainring or cassette has worn out (you need to inspect the rest of the wear surfaces) or your derailleur is misadjusted (check your speed change mechanism). Yup, i...
