"fancy chippy tea tonight?"

Turns out that since the triple-lock was introduced the part that is suggested to be removed has been used to determine the pension increase 6 out of 16 times … 5 times since the UK voted for Brexit … 3 of which were since we technically left the EU.

succumbed to the TikTok shop and ordered some 'heavy duty' shelves for the shed for all the BBQ bits and bobs. I'd forgotten I had a massive ribs cooking rack and 2 different sizes of roasting racks (one's now going to be used for a low-and-slow cook on Christmas Day).

spotted another design tool that can "export design tokens" but it's limited … the idea strikes … another design tokens manager tool that gives you chance to review additions, changes, and deletions from a tokens file (or files) into your source of truth. 🙏🖤

For reusable components: has anyone stress tested the seams around Light versus Shadow DOM? Hypothetically: 20 light DOM nodes per instance versus 1 light DOM node (with 19 shadow DOM nodes) per instance. 40 vs. 1+39? and instances? I don’t think I have a baseline intuition on the costs there.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?
