This will probably be enough for me to convince my organisation to quit Twitter and spin up their own Mastodon instance if Incan te them that they will be able to reach Threads users

UK regulations state that ingredients must be listed in order of weight, with the main ingredient first according to the amounts that were used to make the food - the percentages are by weight

HeartyBeast , 3 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in That gourmet luxury blend...

Being honest would require percentages, really

HeartyBeast , 3 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in That gourmet luxury blend...

Hmm that would be illegal in the EU and UK, where nutritional info and proportion of honey would be required.

Quite tempted to write in though. Anyone else?

TIL too, thanks

Certainly in the UK, there has been a real push for fully compostible teabags. Clipper Tea and PG are fully compostable. Yorkshire Tea was not, last time I looked - which is why I stopped drinking it.

Exactly.

Also be aware that if you add an Outllook account to iOS, IT may be able to wipe your entire phone.

It’s a transaction- it’s fine from their point of view as they have to pay journalists. Is there and ad- free pay option?

Don;t mention Minecraft. You implemented and adminstered a MYSQL database system which supported N concurrent users and Y transactions per minute with 99.xxx uptime over Z years, you also developed a custom front-end etc etc

And it’s fitted properly? Is it completely closed when your neighbour has their extractor on?

HeartyBeast , 4 months ago to homeassistant in Turn on kitchen hood when naighbour is cooking

I wouldn’t bother with that, I’d instead look at it from the other point of view and think about fitting something like a simple vent gravity flap to your hood outlet, that is closed when your hood is off, and opens when your hood is on. I.e seals the vent to prevent smells.
