My wife is cabin crew at BA. The best example I can give of things they need to know is how to let a bomb explode and leave the aircraft going. There's a procedure on how to cover a found bomb with layers of chairs, wet blankets, etc. She also needs to know all the ways to extinguish a fire, depending on its source.


On switching peripherals between both work and home computers, I've been using for a few years now a UGREEN USB Switch. It's around £21 for the USB 2 version at the moment in the UK. So it's basically what the author uses but you connect both machines there and click a button to toggle between machines. On mine there's 4 ports only but maybe that's enough for most people - I'm only using half.


Sorry, it's not your fault but I found this funny because, of course German is the top first language in the EU, it's EU's most populous country, by far. Romanian is the 7th and Dutch the 8th and so on, pretty much every country has its own national language, with only a few exceptions.


But there are more non-native English speakers than non-native German speakers. Everyone is learning English, German far less so.


Don't forget Austria, those sneaky bastards also speak German, adding to the numbers :D


As an American who learned German, that feels more like a technicality than a reality.


It's the common language that divides us ;) (I'm Austrian)


I use another browser for those sites. So Firefox with all the fancy add-ons for 99% of my browsing and then Edge for those times I really can't have it failing on me (any sort of payment, that's pretty much it).



I do that sometimes too, but there are plenty of sites in the middle-ground between absolutely must use and don't care if it fails.


That's what happened with the new Bloomberg HQ in London. It's a nice museum underground.


It's been pretty amazing walking past that site everyday seeing the pictures of the artefacts on the hoardings. Now it's all done, I keep meaning to visit the museum.

For people who have NO idea what was under the new Bloomberg HQ in London, here's a link:

I've found mine in a therapist directory (for the UK): https://www.bacp.co.uk/search/Therapists

I remember I was so nervous and full of doubts about doing it, I had nobody I trusted I could talk to at the time but I was doing really bad. I first tried to find a familiar face on that directory, just based on pictures, someone I could see myself talking to. When I did find someone, it took me a few days before finally trying to reach them. It was extremely difficult to be honest. But I did it. It's been a few years now. Couldn't be happier with my decision.

Good luck. And feel free to ping me if you need any help.


Very useful link in the article showing some of the things Facebook knows about you: https://facebook.com/ads/preferences


Only works if you have an account.


You might want to try Cesium: http://www.cesium-app.com/

You can hide most images/covers on Cesium. I bought it one or two years ago, use it sometimes instead of the Music.app.

On a side note, one feature I'd wish was in all these players is the ability to pin stuff. I'd like to pin x albums, that's how I listen to them, x albums per month.


And we even get to tell others they are doing it wrong!


iPhone X fails to unlock and asks for PIN?
