To be fair, a top secret black project being forced to use navigation lights is exactly the sort of bureaucracy I would expect from the US government.

We are heading for a permanent state of future shock.

Didn't they abandon decentralisation a while ago?

I'm a little obsessive about this myself.

Usually I have

  • Dark colours, woolens, and delicates
  • Stuff I think could run (raw denim, etc)
  • Whites
  • Light colours and stuff I don't care about fading, which can be washed either way.

While most non-colour detergents don't contain bleach any more, they contain optical brighteners that absorb UV and emit white light, to make whites look "whiter than white". This can make dark colours, and especially blacks, look dull grey. Other than that you don't usually have to worry about most colours, especially after the first wash. There are exceptions to this, such as raw denim which runs like crazy. You can also get "colour catcher" sheets for peace of mind that stop runs.

Usually I use a non-biological delicates wool detergent for dark colours, woolens, and delicates, which I wash together, on a wool cycle. It doesn't hurt to wash something more delicately than it's supposed to be washed, and it means I don't need to do as many loads. Sometimes I'll throw light colours in with this if I have room. Anything "runny" I'll wash with like colours, at least for the first few washes.

Whites, light colours, and stuff I don't care about looking dull like towels gets the cheapest own brand biological detergent.

If you have dark coloured bedding you may want to get biological colour detergent, I don't.

Yes exactly, so you need a special kind of usb-c adapter that doesn't have an external DAC.

Most adapters, even the cheapest, have a dac because a lot of phones (mostly iPhones) don't support audio pass through mode.

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack but has an FM radio. It took me ages to 1) realise I needed a pass through cable without a DAC and 2) find a pass-through cable without a DAC.

AFAIK he's "only" a millionaire.

One issue with the lack of attribution with canonical tags is it could break SEO, if that matters to you.

It's a notifiable disease so it's supposed to be monitored through NOID, but checking the latest report there were supposedly only four cases last week, which seems like obvious nonsense.

Walkers wanting to enjoy footpaths across the British countryside are being blocked or obstructed in nearly 32,000 places across England and Wales.

But they are fighting back, with one rambler even training as a lawyer to force councils to keep the way clear.

A BBC investigation found councils which have responsibility for footpaths had 4,000 more access issues on public rights of way in 2023 than in 2022.

Campaigners said this showed a "growing abuse and neglect" of the path network.

Local authorities said "funding constraints" limited what they can do.

Keir Starmer has said he is “up for the fight” of defending the “nanny state” as he announced plans to improve child health under a Labour government, including supervised toothbrushing in schools.

The Labour leader said that children were “probably the biggest casualty” of the Tories’ sticking-plaster approach to politics over the past 14 years, adding that, if the government were a parent, they could be charged with neglect.

“I know that we need to take on this question of the nanny state,” he told reporters. “The moment you do anything on child health, people say ‘you’re going down the road of the nanny state.’ We want to have that fight.”

Ahead of a visit to a children’s hospital, Starmer criticised the Tories’ record on child health. “They’re probably the biggest casualty of sticking-plaster politics in the last 14 years,” he said. “Frankly, if parents had treated children as badly as the UK government has, they would probably be charged with neglect. It’s that bad.”
