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.

I'm not entirely convinced about the idea of a HomePod with a screen - but if it gets that iMac G4 aesthetic - I'm in.

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).

depending on your location you can get the digital version of mindful design: second edition on sale for as little as £13.99. this is quite rare because the publisher usually insists on charging far too much for this book. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

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?
