Got mine, the blue is way darker than it looks in a photo, the embroidery on the Adidas Trefoil/rose badge is just top. I’m worried about the sponsor logo falling apart in two washes like last year’s kits though.

The month-long closure of a crucial waterway for the global energy supply has sparked warnings the world is heading for problems worse than those caused by the 1970s oil crisis vs. No It Won’t www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
bbc.co.uk
What was the 1970s oil crisis, and are we heading for something worse?
While both crises involve oil, experts say there are some important differences between what happened in the 1970s and today.

I felt so frustrated for you listening to the interview, you maintained composure and attempted to regain tempo and re-steer several times and he just kept trying to answer questions you did not ask.

I worked at an NHS Trust which used a service similar to this, and more than once they failed to pay colleagues’ regular wages on time (as they take over your normal payroll if you opt in). Not just that, but having “Wagestream” as your source of income on your bank statement is a terrible look.

I’ve been writing to MPs in protest of this Bill in some form or another since I was 18 (I’m mid 30s now). The Online Safety Act will turn the UK into a metaphorical island until every other Western nation follows suit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Bluesky, is in fact, ATProto/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ATProto plus Bluesky. Bluesky is not a protocol unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning ATProto system

I built another app! This one’s watchOS only and it just logs liquid intake to HealthKit 💦 Apple rejected it yesterday with some valid feedback, so while I work on that here’s a TestFlight link for anyone brave enough testflight.apple.com/join/gU8XJgUm
