I still use the three dots for therefore sometimes without really thinking about it. I never pursued work in maths or physics (I set and run industrial machines) but for some reason that one always stuck with me from school.

Yes they are pretty uncommon, all the ones I have owned were old Russian ones that could be pretty unreliable and watch makers never wanted to touch them in terms of repairing them, hence why I have had a few. I believe the ones I had were made by 'Raketa'
I have owned multiple analog watches with a 24 hour face so it isn't like they don't exist they just are far from common place.
Still not legal where I am and not even close but I have had 2 seriously close calls.
First was getting pulled into customs at an international border with multiple ounces hidden in the headlining of the car. They bought out the dog that was going through all the luggage in the back of the car whilst I stood and hoped that my packaging technique was going to be sufficient to cover up the smell of Amsterdam's finest. Some how it did and driving out of that customs garage was one of the most ecstatic feelings ever!
Second was getting pulled over whilst having multiple ounces split into Henry's and a large wedge of cash in smaller denominations all stashed in my dashboard behind the stereo and a pryable panel. You can probably guess what I was up to, thankfully the guy just wanted to chastise me for driving too fast and didn't even entertain the idea of searching the car. Only break one law at a time guys xD
Bike fit is important, changing small things a matter of cm can often alleviate different aches and pains in cycling. Saying a frame is designed for women's bodies however is just utter bullshit.
Get a decent bike brand who have invested time in developing their bikes and then get a proper fit to make sure you are riding with the correct width bars, stem length, crank arm length etc rather than buying into this "made for x bodies" bullshit.
I can think of many better reasons to "slam" this bunch of cunts.
I like bikes and I like cars but when your sole method of transport is a bike and every single day your life is threatened due to the stupidity, recklessness or inattentiveness of people driving then it really starts forcing you to be more and more anti cars.
It would be fine if people could drive in a safe, predictable manner like they should but they can't, saving an extra ten seconds on their journey is more important than another road users safety and well being more often than not.
Not saying that the majority of cyclists are any better however, particularly casual cyclists. They will go through red lights, ride on pavements and generally cause a fucking nuissance of themselves by also not riding predictably and within the road laws. This in turn can annoy drivers causing them to in turn endanger cyclists lives further.
It's an endless cycle perpetuated by the fact that most people can't follow the basic rules of the road for their particular vehicle and thus move in a predictable and safe manner.
Ah yeah, good addition. We open our bedroom window as soon as we get up and will often shut that room off to its own cold existence for at least half the day as that is our worst room.
Sounds like you are lucky if you only have a little around the windows in this country.
You can run dehumidifiers in that room to try and suck out some of the ever present moisture during the winter and keep on top of wiping down the windows to remove condensation, particularly in the mornings if it is the room you sleep in.
You can also get those absorbant "dehumidifier" things that will collect and absorb some of the moisture but really it is a losing battle that you just have to try and fight as best you can I have found. You'll never win xD
Dude has been getting bigger and bigger crowds for the last few years! Much respect!
All of these ideas are great and all but at the end of the day I will be forced to use what ever the scene I am into decides is best and therefore I can find the biggest selection of music to buy.
Currently band camp is the defacto for most releases (except for some idiotic vinyl only bullshit) within the scene I am into, but even if a great alternative is made if they don't start selling the music I want on there then it'll be impossible for me to use.
I think as much effort to expose a band camp alternative to artists is needed as there is needed to create the thing so people and artists can come together in said place.
