Anything that came out when I was a kid or earlier is retro so anything pre 1990 is retro. Post is modern.

Not so much now, but I used to buy my digital music from 7digital as they have their music in lossless flac and also hd flac32, not that I had anything to play it on!

Now I mainly buy vinyl.

I heard this on the radio this morning.

Cracking track

Probably because it is quicker to align one wheel to the other, rather than align two wheels to a centred steering wheel.

I never really thought about it before, but I used to have a car where the steering wheel was about 10 degrees off after having the wheels aligned. I assume they used the nearside wheel as the datum and aligned the offside wheel. Unfortunately the nearside wheel was getting a beating when I was curbing it.

Pre smart phones there was a Bluetooth chat client for Sony Ericsson phones.

Have you tried Bluetooth Walkie ?

I've not used it myself, but the blurb on the Play store sounds like just what you need.

I don't own a treadmill but I have worked with belt conveyors!

My first guess would be belt tension.

It looks as if there are YouTube videos which show how to tension treadmills.

My only real advice is to make sure you pull the roller back evenly, otherwise you may get tracking issues (the belt wanders left or right).

I started watching MM1 but I'm not a big YouTube watcher.

I may give MM2 a go from your recommendation.

That's why I vote for RR. I love GT, but as a retro game, I would say RR has that pickup and play mentality whereas GT is for the long hall.

I hear what you are saying, but I'm not sure why you aren't doing what you want to do.

If you have a computer not provided by work, why do you have Slack or Teams?

Use ad blockers and/or Pi-Hole to avoid pesky ads.

Watch live TV.

Write a letter.

Stay away or use sparingly, data hungry services.

I know I feel better for it and I don't feel as if I'm missing much.

 

Imaging going down the local and hearing this guy playing this pub classic.

 

This is a great watch. I remember the days of trying to program and understand how to program a 32k BBC, using the Users Guide which came with the computer.

It is all too true how we think that kids are born with the knowledge of how computers work, but it's blindingly obvious that unless they are really into computers, they are almost as oblivious as my parents.
