Today I've been seeing 6+ second load times for the initial page, and then any dynamically loaded asset (ie, file.php) taking just as long. If it's shared hosting there is generally little you can do... however... I'm assuming you have access to the hosting control panel - sometimes there are some t...

Has anyone noticed the site being slow? I haven't profiled it, but it feels like it takes at least +1s or longer.

Of course this place is not clear view of the world. I think you said it right there about mumsnet. It's a collective of like-minded people - with the same or similar agenda - BUT not the whole world - and they have their opinions. It's highly unlikely you will be able to dissuade them from any of ...

Gonna have to look that one up, but this would also work equally well for androids of the "Alien" series.

And it can't even safely say Hello human as at some point we'll have androids doing our shopping for us.

.....but I much prefer the company of robots. You set me thinking....run on a few years and shop assistants are now robots....how likely is the robot programming to be any better at choosing the correct pronouns for MIS than today's humans? As Seb and others wrote - a "smart" robot would ...

I was at whole foods returning assorted amazon stuff at the kiosk, when a male attendant behind the desk says loudly “I can help you with those sir”. At the same time he’s speaking, he is walking around to the front and says, “erm m’am”. Honestly, the poor bloke was confused. While I was wearing ear...

You should 3D print a space-inspired hair clip or something of that sort.

Instagram keeps feeding me "Skirt girlies" posts. These are usually video posts of young adult women skowing off wearing skirts/dresses in various scenarios. Often a little bit silly - but generally poking good natured fun at their quirky (in this day and age) style of only wearing skirts ...

I did see another male wearing a skirt (tiered boho maxi, each stripe a different fabric), but not sure how they identify and am not going to presume. But, there was a thin beard, so infer with what you will. One can still comment about liking the skirt without making any gender preference presumpt...

Was at Belle Isle, Detroit today with some friends. Wore a burnt orange skirt (Lee UTRA LUX COMFORT WITH FLEX-TO-GO SKORT), black t-shirt, and black sneakers, plus my egg bag. There happened to be a small art fair (100 vendors) and so we spent 2 hours perusing the stalls. Got three compliments on th...

The most important question is: were any of the dinosaur's wearing skirts?

From a purely functional standpoint - it makes no sense. From a style/fashion/trend standpoint - why not? It isn't like a skirt absolutely must be worn one way. I know this board focuses more on the skirt as an alternative to pants - or as a preferred garment to be worn - but we rarely get into the ...

I tried this once with a wrap skirt from Tovewear and a pair of jeggings (but they were jeans fabric). At the end of the day I hated it - way too much fabric, and it felt off. I'm sure we often see women wear leggings and dresses or skirts, especially when those are shorter. While not pants, I think...

not longer a challenge or novelty and do not have to motivation to post here anymore This is definitely something that has happened to me over time. I've sort of settled into a comfortable spot - and only when I need extra encouragement or want to show off something I sewed (where else would I?) do...
