It's not healthy. For some people their OCD is so bad that they cannot pass a cyclist or pedestrian, regardless of how safe or textbook the manoeuvre, without having deep anxiety that they might have hit them.
I too started taking photos on my phone. It's not a solution, it's a safety behaviour. The trouble with safety behaviours is that they can stop working after a while and then you're in trouble.
I struggle a lot with OCD. I have a therapist. We have techniques and routines to try and reduce the anxiety and compulsions to some reasonable baseline. Some days are O.K, others are torture. My frequent OCDs include:…
I live in a block of flats with a flat mate. I can tell when she is home before she even gets to the front door as you can hear people walking in the corridor and she has a particularly heavy, almost clumsy walk that is…
The Italian government are in a debt crisis not too different from the Greek government debt crisis of 2007/2008. Italy currently has a slow growing economy and needs a large number of younger economic migrants to…
Spain and Italy currently have weakened economies caused by large unemployment and government debt. Italy in particular is at risk of defaulting on its debts (which are 131% of GDP compared to 87.7% for the U.K and…
I use it whenever I don't have a local shell available. For example, when using an iPhone or iPad, or if I need to test something real quick in language X and I don't have X installed on the machine.

I am a long time user of repl.it and I think it's great but I do wonder what the expected ROI is here? Call me short sighted, but It's still just a repl. Perhaps it could be sold to GitHub to integrate with Gist?
One of the issues is the federalisation of the European Union. I don't know what could be done to address that though, it's not something that can be undone I would have thought without huge political and economic…
Except that people can still breed horses which keeps the cost of horse riding reasonable. In contrast it will no longer be legal to manufacture and sell ICE cars, and so the price of these cars will go up as demand…
Car manufacturers are now looking at using 48v powered turbochargers to eliminate turbo lag. I wonder if that could be seen as an electrification of the powertrain?
That's a shame because there are some remarkable cars, both modern and classic, that will no longer be able to drive on the roads if we ban all ICE. It would be the equivalent of banning steam engines, which although no…
Is this sarcasm?
I work for a US organisation in London, and not finance. The average compensation for engineers is about £100,000 - some above and some below. This is on top of private medical and dental, generous pension contributions…
I spent a lot of time at a previous job supporting an NDB cluster and I can attest first hand that it is awful. Single node failures cause entire cluster shutdowns, the cluster then takes forever to recover and must be…
I have an XPS 13 which I run Debian 9 and the coil whine is unbelievable! When I open Google Maps it sounds like how one might imagine a supercomputer in a children's TV show.
This is normal for people who work in London and live in the commuter belt around it. Most of these people have a car but walk to the station, or drive to the station, and then take a train into London. Once in London…

I'm mid 20s and am putting just over $1000 a month into retirement, split between a private and workplace pension. I intend to do this for as long as possible! Disclaimer: I don't live or work in the U.S
Porsche require you fit special N rated tires if you want to keep your car in warranty.
Lots of Japanese cars have been (and some still are) sold in the U.K. without sufficient rust protection from new. The MX5 is one of the worst for this and is still delivered in 2018 without underseal at all.
Hyundai and Kia and now starting to challenge even the German car manufacturers with their i30N and Stinger cars. In fact, they specifically poached a number of former executives from BMW's M division to lead those…
I wonder if some of this is to do with weight reduction. To have seperate buses must add a lot of extra equipment and wiring. This means more weight and more power required to operate the electrics and in turn means…
OCD. Lately I've been struggling with what they call inflated responsibility. I typically ruminate that something I said, something I did, or something I did not say or do will have some large negative effect on some or…
