My grumpy old man answer is twofold: firstly, I agree with you. Secondly, it seems like for some people, that is the exact point: they no longer need to think.

Whilst I wholeheartedly believe in having an abundance of real trees, greenery and so on in urban areas (it's good for us!), I have absolutely no objection to hiding the less glamorous infrastructure in plain sight like this.

That's pretty smart. At least based on the picture alone, it's relatively convincing based on just a casual glance. Smart choice to model it on an evergreen so the 'leaves' don't look too out of place even at this time of the year.

I'm not sure whether I'm qualified to tell you whether you're right or wrong though - it might well be me! But I'd need to be convinced why 🙂

Not that I ever recall. I remember specifically having the thought not to do it - in particular, I remember in the past having an MVC binder which auto-trimmed (most) strings - because I considered whitespace a valid part of the input in that instance.

I can't imagine why not. That said, I'm not sure I'm brave enough to actually try it.

... daylight hours are short, getting up to the alarm is more difficult, and travelling to/from work is in the dark (or near dark). I'll probably sound a bit hippie but I think if we worked more with the natural cycles rather than trying to enforce 'order' on it all, we'd be happier and healthier.

Absolutely agree. I'd also add that (in my opinion anyway), the whole thing is just not natural, even when we're considering 'normal' 9-5 style hours for 5 days a week. I don't think humans are designed to work that way on an ongoing basis. I think this is noticeable at this time of year when ...

Never thought about it this way before but you're spot on here! Funnily enough though, this is probably also one of the main reasons I struggle to enjoy it (I'm usually a big sci-fi type but BSG felt a bit of a slog).
