Not just on the sell-by-date itself. It's ridiculous that a loaf of bread that goes off tomorrow costs the same as one that goes off in a week.

Very knife indeed. As you say, it's gorgeous. I didn't think it was legal to carry it? I thought it was so close to zero tolerance it's ridiculous.
There's one on each of my multitools but they're for โฟ repair OTG so can explain them. If you get a stone in your shoe you take it off. Not so with โฟ.

I did exactly that. External drives, 42TB of backups, data files and media all on a Raspberry Pi 4. Plex filled the SD card and won't play a thing. I'm getting a 256GB SD / USB and cloning it into there.
If it fills 256GB with thumbnails etc then I'm giving up. ๐ฌ
When the UK is making plans for a fast-track service to end a person's life, while at the same time cancer treatments are delayed (only 67.9% of patients start their first treatment within 62 days of an urgent referral) - maybe it's time to re-evaluate our priorities?

Dockless bikes are a great idea implemented badly. They get left on the pavement, blocking wheelchairs and buggies. What we should do is remove car parking space on ever street and require riders to leave their dockless bikes in those designated parking bays.

Many terminally-ill people would feel โduressโ and โpressureโ to choose an assisted suicide if it is legalised, because of the lack of funding for the NHS, palliative care and social care services, a disabled activist has told MPs and peers.
www.disabilitynewsservice.com/health-and-c...
Disabled peopleโs organisations have united in opposition to attempts to legalise assisted suicide, after months of being excluded from parliamentary discussions.
