I think seeing the drink immediately fizz up massively was worth having the information come via video.

The video does end with that recommendation, but personally I often find myself out and about thinking "I wish I had brought a straw". They don't fit in pockets very well, and I don't usually carry a bag.

The Industrial Accelerator Act is intended to bolster European industry against cheaper imports from Asia.

In my head, Japan is sitting there wearing lederhosen as a disguise.

I need to do that to my UPS - I built a quiet PC but I can't tell since the UPS fans are loud even in eco mode (and deafening when it's using its batteries).

Yeah, it's from vitamin C deficiency so you just need to get enough in your diet. I just checked, and a shot does exist:

Ascorbic acid injection is used to treat scurvy (Vitamin C deficiency) in patients who cannot take the medicine by mouth.

Peak alliteration

Rhyming is generally the opposite of alliteration, because alliteration's repetition of initial sounds, and rhyming's repeated sounds at the end (like flatus atlas).

edit: I intended to implement alliteration in this interaction, but was ineffectual

I think any federated service is more vulnerable, because there's no central oversight, e.g. of IPs used to create accounts.

Even without any code, you could easily register accounts at the 20 largest instances and upvote yourself. I'm sure some people will have done just that.

Around one in 12 men and one in 200 women have CVD, meaning a sizeable proportion of the rugby community is affected.

I did the maths: according to rugbyrapt, "Women now make up 41% of global rugby followers" as of 2025.

Using that number means that 5.12% or about 1 in 20 struggle to see the difference between red and green, so it makes sense.

 

I love Doom Bar and I'm not alone since it's among the bestselling cask ales in the UK, but it seems that the US owners are going for a quick payout by closing and asset stripping what's left.

I wonder how long until they start building houses or an industrial park on the old site?

Light mode? That's not me.

If we're replacing cilia as well, the fact that respiratory cilia exists means she's probably got severe to fatal breathing problems too.

 

This video covers Great Ormond Street Hospital, Quality Street and copyright special cases.

 

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

An Australian YouTuber got invited to a NATO wargame and made this very interesting video about it.

The section that starts at 3m30s (10 minutes long) discusses the military history of wargaming which I found fascinating.

The rest of it is also well worth a watch.

It's not new (it sat in my watch later list for a month since it's 65 minutes long) so apologies if you've already seen it.

My personal domain has hundreds of aliases - one for each site I deal with. This is great for identifying the source of spam, and I retire any aliases that get spam.

haveibeenpwned.com lets me add a domain, but wants 3912 USD a year to actually tell me which addresses leaked. This is obviously an insane price for a nice-to-have.

Is there an alternative for free or very cheap? A self-hosted tool that would pull down lists would be great, but I suppose those lists aren't public.
