| Anyone else here into the Raspberry Pi? I'm currently on a Pi 400 and it's been my daily driver for the past 6 weeks. I'm a retro/vintage computer/console enthusiast and have managed to set up emulators for every system I own up to 32-Bit. You might say that the Raspberry Pi 400 is one micro-compute... |

| I remember watching a TV programme on Channnel 5 (UK) about homeless people and there was one person who was PhD educated who was living in a tent and collecting and recycling rubbish as an ongoing social experiment. This was someone who could have been earning a good living as a university lecturer... |

| I stick to forums. Various ones that are related to my hobbies and interests. WP is a particularly useful one because it's possible to talk about many different things (including politics and religion which are quite sensibly prohibited on many forums). |

Catholic priests have to take a vow of celibacy which is kind of the opposite of having to get married and have kids. What about the Salvation Army? They have special colleges where they t... |

It feels like I'm almost fated to be a Linux user; every time I come up against something that looks like I will have to turn to Windows, I always seem to find a way that allows... |

| I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier this year as a result of over-eating. The medication I was given (Metformin) has helped me lose weight because it gives me diarrhea if I eat fried food. Just from cutting out fried food, I've lost half a stone in the space of a few months. |

| I was a latecomer to the 360 myself (2016). GTA V and Red Dead Redemption are killer apps IMO but all the GTA games are worth having. I also highly recommend Blur and Split/Second: Velocity; fast, aggressive driving games with lots of power ups. The 360 digital store was also still up and running wh... |

Just because someone chooses to share information on one forum it doesn't mean they want it shared by another person on another forum. And this is very sensitive information that many people are p... |

| In the States the stores label where the fruits and veggies come from. Are you fresh veggies from the local area or do the come from a distant part of the world? In the UK, a lot of our food is imported from the EU (which is one of the concerns with Brexit) so I suppose things might be different fo... |
