    Open relationships or multiple partners

    Has anyone here had any open relationships or multiple partners at the same time? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this or something similar? I have never tried it so I would not know but I imagine it requires a lot of communication and trust. I imagine it is difficult to find...

    Phone battery

    Is your phone battery quite strong, or has it depleted over the years? I heard iPhones used to be really bad for battery back in the day but are slowly getting better. I've never had an iPhone so I am not entirely sure but my Samsung battery has been kind to me over the years. I have had this...

    Social Distancing

    What are your thoughts on social distancing? Presumably, they have it in your country and it ranges from 1m to 1.5m to 2m. Do you think people are respecting it quite well or not? Here in England it is generally 2m and I cannot tell you the amount of times I have gotten angry about people...

    Winter bathing

    This is very popular in Sweden where I am currently living. It is the process of spending a short amount of time in cold water such as the sea, alternating between time spent in a warm environment such as a sauna. Maybe your country is similar or has an alternative? Have you ever tried this?

    Building your own desktop

    How many people have tried to build their own desktop? I most recently found a guide here https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-build-a-pc/ and it seems like the best thing to do is it build one yourself. Although this can be pretty time consuming but mostly expensive! I wonder what stories and...

    Can Netflix be a waste of money?

    It costs me £10 a month and I wonder if this is a waste of money to me. So I am interested to hear your opinions. It can be shared between 4 people so ideally, it would be good to split the money between those that you share it with. I feel this rarely happens though and the sucker who...

    Monogamy or non-monogamy?

    What are your thoughts on monogamy or non-monogamy relationships? Have you ever tried one or the other? To me, many people seem to prefer monogamous relationships and the latter can even cause many issues. I guess you need a lot of trust and communication, and to be into it if you want to have...

    Where do you purchase your phone?

    It is possible to buy them second-hand and many often do, but for me, this raises a lot of questions. I would worry about purchasing a stolen phone or where it even came from. I prefer purchasing it brand new from a phone provider. It is even possible to buy the phone in one go and then pay for...

    Rare version of Super Mario classic becomes highest selling game!

    https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53402067 A rare version of 1985 classic Super Mario Bros was purchased by an unknown buyer at an auction for a staggering $114,000 (£90,000). Some of the reason it was popular and expensive for bidders was that it existed in its original packaging, used only...

    GIMP

    It is nice to see that GIMP is still in use and updated in 2020. I was never the best graphic designer but back in the day I would try my hand at GIMP as it was and still is free software. I think it is a great place to start because of this, whilst people practice in preparation for, or an...

    Coding your own website?

    I have a friend that is trying to do this and it seems pretty exhausting in my eyes. I have never tried it myself but I was wondering if anyone here has? What do you enjoy about coding your own website? Could you even share some of it with us?

    Ask 22_22!

    I will get the obvious question out the way and tell you my username is a reference to my birthdate! It is a username I have used on forums for over ten years now and I have never been bothered enough to change it. :p Let's get the questions rolling!

    Unnecessary plastic?

    A lot has been done in recent years to reduce plastic use but I still believe there is a long way to go yet. Plastic and rubbish is often left in public spaces and is destroying ecosystems and the environment. It is a problem in our attitudes and behaviour to think this is normal or acceptable...

    The death penalty

    Capital punishment... In other words, the death penalty. It is still legal in 56 countries which I think is a lot and provides an interesting discussion as to why it is so many. Some might say those who do significant crimes are deserving of it, but others may want people to live through their...

    Herd immunity for Coronavirus?

    What do we think as herd immunity as a strategy for reacting to the covid-19 pandemic? Can it work for some countries but not others? Or is it absolutely pointless? For me, it is gambling with deaths and as a result, I completely disagree with the strategy. We should be doing our utmost best to...
