The forgotten medieval habit of 'two sleeps'
For millennia, people slept in two shifts – once in the evening, and once in the morning. But why? And how did the habit disappear?

I’ve been into tech and gadgets pretty much all my life and can normally work most things out. But printers... absolutely no chance! Why is it that every single time I actually NEED to print something, they just decide they’re not going to work? Offline, can’t find the printer, paper jam!, WHY??

I've seen the latest disingenuous press release from the EHRC, and whilst GANHRI may not have requested a special review this time around, the SCA has decided to continue to monitor the situation.

Supermarkets in the UK tend to have a policy of not accepting returns of food due to the contamination/tampering risk. So I would have called the supermarket, and they would have likely said to keep it anyway.

This kind of rhetoric is nothing but tosh. They can't just rip up sections of the ECHR they don't want. Likewise, they can't pull out of the ECtHR without breaking multiple agreements. Its nonsense talk to appeal to the racists

Anti trans groups and anti abortion groups are funded by the same evangelical Republican groups. The alt right, anti LGBT, anti abortion, anti vax, conspiracy Venn diagram is glaringly obvious once you look at who’s funding it. It’s never been about women’s rights, just the far right.
