On the "identifies as" bit, I found it amusing when some wag on social media picked up on some of the anti-trans stuff that Ted Cruz and Nikki Haley were spouting by referring to them by their given names of Rafael and Nimarata

I associate the move to longer (and often baggier) shorts to the US. When I was a kid (UK, late 70's and into the 80's) shorts were largely the preserve of the sports field and the beach. It would be unusual for me or my friends to wear shorts out of these settings. The shorts I had at this time wer...

Why does it matter to this group? Here is AOC's take on the matter. (you should be able to click past the logon screen) Maybe its alarmist, but if true I wouldn't be thrilled at the prospect of a child or grandchild of mine (or any other relative or friend come to think of it) being subject to a ge...

Since living in the US, I've used the phrase Native American rather than Indian. Doing some research just now, it appears that people from that demographic group have differing opinions on what terminology they do and do not like. As an aside, I once saw an interview with a guy who objected to being...

Although I can appreciate that there are some nefarious instances of camera placement (watching over someone sunbathing or placing a camera where it can look directly into a bedroom, for example), this sounds like a legitimate use case to me. I have 4 ring cameras, mainly for deterring porch pirates...

Going back 4 years (as I can see from my Amazon order history), I purchased a couple of shirts - one in white and the other in black. The intention was to pair them with a cami top in a matching colour. It is a look that I really like on women and I wanted to see how / if it worked for me. Unfortuna...

I've visited Canada from the US as a holidaymaker on my UK passport, on an L1 visa, on a green card and on a US passport. I've had good experiences and I've had not so good experiences. I've had a young female border officer throw my passport at me whilst uttering "get out of my sight". I'...

At least a couple of Brit left wing politicians were known to wear hats of this style.

I’ve built up around $2.5k of Sonos kit over the years and all was well until the senior bods there decided that they needed to scrap the app that controls the kit and build a new one. What a total disaster that project has turned out to be – cost the CEO his job I only ever used the most basic / st...

Thanks Carl - shall give it a try.

Yep - that did the trick. I just appended https:// onto the front of the www and all is good

No problem on my desktop, but lately when I've been logging on to SkirtCafe from my iPad, I've been getting a "not secure" message from Safari. It won't let me use stored credentials on this site as a result. Anyone else seeing this? Anything that I can do about it on my side? Some cookie ...

A previous similar government opened the flood gates around year 2000 and we now have many towns full of people who have very different morals about how you treat women from the rest of us. Immigration into the UK in itself is not a new thing. As just a few examples, we had the Windrush generation,...

My tribe is me, my wife, and our dog. In my case, it is just me and the wife. As it happens, I've been thinking about this recently. I don't need no friends, I don't need no family, I don't need any real physical social interaction - so long as I have my wife. I would be crushed beyond belief I wer...

As a precursor to retirement, I purchased a 3/4 ton truck. It *just* fits into the garage and I have been petrified of dinging the paint or a panel every time I park the hulking chunk of metal. I tried the ball and string trick, but it didn't give me the confidence I needed. The truck comes with a p...

Icy cold temperatures are about to hit a large swathe of the US, down to and including places like Texas and Florida. Also going to be a good dump of snow for some. Report here The wife and I have started watching some weather channels on YouTube and they are talking of polar vortex and shifting jet...
