First thought on seeing the cover was that this isn't something I'd normally listen to. Second thought on reading the text was that if it's good enough for Jools Holland, it's definitely worth listening to, absolutely love 'Later....' Going to …

As a fun project started during the long days of COVID immobility we've been publishing a little 'newsletter' about sustainability. We've just pushed issue #3, which is mostly about farming/gardening, biodiversity, etc. and has a really …

'Murder Hornets' don't sound like fun at all. When I was living in Kenya, I got stung in the belly by a thing that looked a bit like someone had taken two yellowjackets (which at home we just call wasps) and made them a bit bigger, then cut the …

Trump is a political satirists nightmare. Anything ludicrous that you might think to write, he's there first actually doing or saying it in the real world.

I do love a train! I'd do all long distance travelling by train if there weren't oceans in the way and if it were just more affordable compared to flying or driving (at least in Europe, I don't know how it is in the US). I think there is a big …

Nooo... typing while driving would be bad :-)

And this post will apparently be in 14 minutes... I'm travelling further!

Quite often I write posts on cake and then notice that I have actually written them in the future... Usually it's in 1 or 2 minutes, but today it was up to 12 minutes. Does cake allow me to time travel while writing (I'm hoping so), does it just …

> I dunno why someone wants to take a flight to nowhere, btw. What’s the fun of sitting on a plane? Apparently, according to the interview I listened to yesterday that I now can't find, the "fun" is the whole experience, getting to the airport …

Absolutely get your point and agree in some part. I'm not suggesting that everyone should give up flying, but I do think people should be conscious of the impact of their actions. As I said in my first post I fly, and I am not going to stop flying …

> I don't see anything wrong with someone that wants to take a ride. I feel it's pretty wrong to encourage people to get on planes with high CO2 emissions, just so that they can pretend to themselves they are going somewhere. We're living on a …

Singapore Airlines are the latest in a list of airlines who are planning to or have started offering flights to nowhere. These are aimed at people who "miss travelling" as a result of COVID-19. The principle is super simple, you go through the …

I know what you mean @Chris, it's one of those things that you are sure you should have thought of. I absolutely love Project Natick and I've been following it for a couple of years, Naval Group who built and deployed it have some interesting …

^ What he said ^ :-)

The fact that the US electoral system is just so bizarrely over-complicated doesn't help with fair and transparent elections. Simple things are easier to understand and generally harder to cheat. Every time there is a US election I have to go …

The umpire doesn't really have any choice but to follow the laws of the game, so there isn't a lot of room for debate about whether the game should have continued or Djokovic had to default. It's a stupid way to go out of a tournament though, and …

> What's the friction like when you slam the brakes? When it's wet? This was one of my first thoughts when I read this. I'm presuming when it's new it's textured to avoid slipperiness, but plastics do have a tendency to become very smooth after a …

That sounds like a pretty sensible plan of action, I've been meaning to check out your YouTube channel for days now and will actually manage it sometime soon! When you do circle back to blog, we are just setting up a ghost demo site for people to …

Sounds interesting, adding this to watch list. :-)

> Hey! Seriously sick of fb and new to Cake! FB can get pretty draining! Welcome to Cake, which feels like a much more pleasant online hangout so far :-)

> I'll check out Ghost in the next few days and let you know. @Chris Curious if you had a chance to take a look at Ghost? Not (just) because we would love to host a site for you, but actually I'm really interested in what people think of it …

On the subject of healthier burgers... Not healthier for the eater, but possibly healthier for the planet, I just saw this article about Burger King offering a low methane burger in some restaurants. TL;DR They researched different food …

> I haven't heard Elon say anything about going to the moon, have you?? No, his 'plan' seems to be, and I'll admit I only skim read it, to skip the moon and go straight from earth orbit to Mars. Sending cargo ships first followed by multiple …

Isn't Elon Musk going to get there first whoever is president?

But if you can just turn your camera off as rule #4 says is perfectly fine, then clothing becomes optional surely?
