Raw denim I wash after a few weeks, normal ones I wash after a few days. I hate the idea of being dirty or smelly.

Saffron, it’s still pretty expensive today.

The prison industrial complex is a well oiled mouse trap making machine.

I do wonder how many of the pills etc were effectively fake, radium was expensive, so a lot may have used homeopathic amounts. A lot of cosmetics today still do that, add infinitesimally small amounts of the latest fashionable ingredient, so they can say it contains it.

Reading about the legal procedures in the salem witch trials is crazy. Most of the evidence was “spectral”, basically people claiming to have seen the ghostly form of the accused. The main legal debate wasn’t if witches existed, they obviously did, but if the devil could take the form of someone without their permission.

It’s more useful for them to subvert it to sew division. Look at how they started pushing identity politics after occupy wall street.

I have it, it’s annoying to say the least. I’m not fully ambidextrous though.

They aren’t state owned, they’re the largest private company in China (by number of employees), and have had plenty of issues with the authorities there.

The closest I can think is someone who is ambidextrous but also dyspraxic.

This could also spark the creation of an alternative hub to wordpress.org, one that would be truly operated in the interest of the [open source] community.

I really hope so.

The current one bans most plugin forks, it’s a bit of farce to prop up freemium plugins.

In dictatorships they sometimes carelessly fall out of high windows, in “democracies” they sometimes commit suicide with two gunshots to the back of the head.

IIRC they were designed for kids with autism.

Is there a better alternative though?

I was pretty disappointed at the options for a FOSS CMS when I last looked a year or so ago. Ghost looked good but is held back by the lack of a genuine plugin system.

You want a conspiracy theory?

It was designed to make any criticism of big pharma look crazy.

It isn’t

£2000, oof

Is federation still whitelist based?

Didn’t they abandon decentralisation a while ago?

I’m a little obsessive about this myself.

Usually I have

• Dark colours, woolens, and delicates
• Stuff I think could run (raw denim, etc)
• Whites
• Light colours and stuff I don’t care about fading, which can be washed either way.

While most non-colour detergents don’t contain bleach any more, they contain optical brighteners that absorb UV and emit white light, to make whites look “whiter than white”. This can make dark colours, and especially blacks, look dull grey. Other than that you don’t usually have to worry about most colours, especially after the first wash. There are exceptions to this, such as raw denim which runs like crazy. You can also get “colour catcher” sheets for peace of mind that stop runs.

Usually I use a non-biological delicates wool detergent for dark colours, woolens, and delicates, which I wash together, on a wool cycle. It doesn’t hurt to wash something more delicately than it’s supposed to be washed, and it means I don’t need to do as many loads. Sometimes I’ll throw light colours in with this if I have room. Anything “runny” I’ll wash with like colours, at least for the first few washes.

Whites, light colours, and stuff I don’t care about looking dull like towels gets the cheapest own brand biological detergent.

If you have dark coloured bedding you may want to get biological colour detergent, I don’t.
