If you see this, reply with a picture that illustrates what it’s like living in the UK

Red, vintage, bus with old advertising. 54 to Blackheath.

Is it old? Maybe it's dying or not playing nice with the rest of the setup. On a related note I think this might be my favourite moment of any Sewing Bee series.

It's lovely. What's this?
It's a poo bag.

I really want to get a new lens, my 200mm wasn't cutting it trying to get shots of barn swallows nesting behind a sauna.

English breakfast, Finnish lake.

Bread, eggs, beans, sausages, bacon and mushrooms on a plate. A typical Finnish lake scene is in the background, with various wildflowers and trees surrounding the lake and a floating sauna at the end of a pier.

My father in law took pictures of this tree throughout the seasons and now it's gone.

Sounds like a good resource! FYI, I'm getting this horizontal overflow on Chrome/Vivaldi and Firefox on Android.

Allbirds are great, including this content coot that found a nice spot in my local park.

I'm definitely completely secure about only getting 47, but did you make up something that kinda-sorta exists? According to MDN, "The CSS ruby layout module also introduces the ruby-merge and ruby-overhang properties. Currently, no browsers support these features."

My electric shaver died and I just tried using a regular razor for the first time in years. I won't be doing that again. I look like Electrode.

The Pokémon Electrode. It's spherical with a face. The lower half is red.

My headphones are so much more comfortable with fresh earpads. It's crazy that I had to go all the way to Korea for OEM ones though. Come on Sony, everyone should be able to repair their stuff!

I am incredibly sad that 2025 www.lingscars.com is a bland and boring shadow of it's former chaotic glory.

Where do I start? Screenshot of the old Lings Cars website on wayback machine. The background is a multi-color paisley like mess. The graphical elements are an assault on the senses. There is a picture of Ling in a Darth Vader mask with planets orbiting her. The site has various flashing, animated elements and doesn't follow any rule of good design. It's kind of web 2.0 fever dream.

Truncation is not a content strategy... also I have the humour of a 12 year old.

I spotted these little critters at my Finnish family's cabin over the summer. I almost stepped on the toad in the dark but thankfully saw it just in time 😬

A weird thing I've seen with Chrome on Android is that highlight sharing doesn't include the link on every website. This site has the link support.google.com/chrome/answe... This site doesn't arielsalminen.com/2025/generat... CC @arielsalminen.com, is this intentional on your site? If so, how?

Okay, #CSS corner-shape is pretty super. No SVG, no shape() clip paths, or gradients, just some basic border-radius and you can make Superman's logo. codepen.io/jbasoo/pen/r... (Inspired by @amitsheen.bsky.social's @frontendmasters.com article)

I didn't get to watch any #StarWars this #MayThe4th but I did play with a laser.

A table top with 5 coasters. They are laser engraved with a line drawing of the starship Enterprise. 3 are a light wood, 2 are slate. There is also a business card for Blue Tiger Crafts on the table.

I'm sorry but if I had to see this then so do all of you.
