    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    It's getting better, though, isn't it? Lighter in the morning, lighter in the evening. It won't be long before there's a hosepipe ban. I still feel cold, though, maybe it's an age thing.

    Yes, I guess it's like anything else, once you get used to the difference in taste, the old thing becomes the weird one.

    We have similar in the UK, colour-coded notes on the packaging for various bad ingredients, I expect it's an EU thing. As MJ said a few posts back, the trouble with all the stuff that doesn't have any sugar or additives or bad stuff is that it doesn't taste all that good. It probably tastes...

    Pretty much all my clothes are black. I was buying up a bit of a stock of a particular shirt from a UK high street place because it fit as well as any shirt fits me, wasn't expensive, and washed well. Then they went bankrupt, so now I have to find another source, ready for when the small stock I...

    Help finding ideas

    IDEA 
    Maybe a good start would be to try to help people more locally, rather than aiming at the US. Granted it may be a bigger market (I read your other thread but I can't remember where you said you are located now) but something would be a start.

    Help finding ideas

    IDEA 
    Well, ideas are the key, for some like me (and you, by the sound of it) the difficult part. What can you do to help people? Have a read around the forum, there are plenty of case stories of what people are doing and how successful they are. You won't see a great deal of detail in most cases, but...

    How many poison M&Ms does your business have?

    EXECUTION NEWSLETTER 
    I'm just happy that it isn't only me that gets unreasonably irritated at sloppy spelling, grammar and punctuation. The "oh, you know what I mean" brigade seem to be taking over.

    There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that, on the basis of your post.

    Learning Python

    QUESTION 
    That's the main thing I'd say too - regardless of the language I struggle to have it sink in until I've written something I need, rather than just going through the exercises.

    Really? I'm surprised it's that different, but obviously you have far more experience of it. I expect certain sections of the UK (mainly older people and Daily Mail readers) might react that way, at least in private.

    I think it's only an issue if the name you wanted to use has some meaning in English that would reflect badly on your company or product. We've all seen the "funny product name" memes, but I'm not aware that "Majdal" has any meaning. It's clearly non-English in origin, but that doesn't make it a...

    Yes, but on the bright side it's lighter earlier in the morning, and later in the evening. It won't be long, I'm just starting to see that it's heading towards better weather. Rain is irritating, I was going to an event this weekend but it's been cancelled because of flooding.

    I would expect that any licensing requirements will vary depending on what country you are in.

    If you go around the back of that building or view it from further away, there does seem to be an extra floor that is set back from the outer walls and not easily visible because it's smaller. Initially I wondered whether the building had been cut back to a shell, the outer tall windows retained...

    Indeed, it's 1071.21, though not done in my head. I can't see what it's missed out, though, it's not just one of the figures.

    I don't think it's correct to necessarily blame home schooling for that, I went to "normal" schools and left there socially awkward, and still am, many years later. Some people just don't mix well. My only running thought when reading this topic was about the effects of a lack of mixing with...

    There's a lot of VW adverts floating around that I'm not sure are real ads, some are made by aspiring ad-makers as showreel productions and "happen" to get out into the public domain. The one that caught my eye was arguably a bit sick (even though it's funny to me) featuring a car bomb in a VW...
