@PinkNews That's an ad.
We went to the V&A recently and saw their Korean Wave exhibit. One part spent time on the Korean beauty sector and the myth of the 10 step regime. They had a 3d printer for personalised face masks, which was interesting, but looked like a glorified plotter (either very limited or no Z axis).

Since there's so much snake oil in this area, and your face is so visible, people are willing to latch on to whatever hope they can.
It's interesting talking to people about skincare. From purely medical (I've a few friends that suffer from Psoriasis), through to managing effects of hormones (it comes up a surprising amount teaching teenagers), through to purely cosmetic.
I latched on to some "advice" from a (I think) GQ article in 2003ish. George Clooney was interviewed about skincare and he said to keep it simple. Use a face cleaner, scrub a few times a week, and use a SPF moisturiser daily. I've been happy with that advice.

Imagine being Jacob Rees-Mogg; he desperately wants to be Brideshead Revisted, but is actually an (albeit well read) idiot cousin of the Boswells in Bread, and all the upper class old money he sucks up knows it, and judges him for it.
He’s not like Nadine Dorries; going through life oblivious to her own stupidity. Jacob knows he’s both very very stupid and a transparent imposter who will never get what he wants: the acceptance of the inbred wazzocks he deifies, and it must utterly torment his every moment.

Mealybugs really are incredibly hard to eradicate. Upping my game to alternate between lambda cyhalothrin, diatomaceous Earth and isopropanol.
And still I keep finding them. They can’t survive this forever though, they just can’t.
Upside: zero aphids

Update: run out of lambda chyalorthrin. Have now switched to deltamethrin.

Exactly what I was thinking!
Have you checked out the show? I’m reluctant to start until it’s over.
I find the idea fascinating that there might be some kind of watershed caused by Twitter's decomposition. Like, people are suddently skeptical of social media hype, & that translates into being skeptical about things they maybe shouldn't be that skeptical about. Like how a lot of solid companies cratered in the dot-bomb because the market lost faith in fundamentals. HP e.g. had a rock solid record of improving numbers for decades, but suddenly that wasn't good enough.
Once again, seeing the whole, "Fediverse is full of Europeans who keep refusing to frame social justice issues strictly from the point of view of USians and this is definitely very problematic everyone!" thing.
And I can't help thinking, "Have you tried taking your cultural imperialism and shoving it up your arse? Maybe that will help?"

Apple Watch workout app doesn’t track course for paddling for some strange reason, so I looked for an alternative that integrates with workouts, but adds course tracking.
Seems there are two. One is free, the other is 6 euros a month.
I hate this subscription crap. Just let us buy things and stop trying to turn the whole world into a glorified Company Store. I’d have gladly paid for either, but I’m not renting a workout tracking app, especially not at that price.
Developers: if I have a choice between a product I can buy, and one I have to rent, I will always go for the one I can buy.

As I’m quite fond of not drowning, it pleases me immensely that some of the orcas have been tagged. They plan to try and tag more this summer as they migrate through biscay, and update the maps weekly on the orca app.
We needed this 3-4 years ago, and it’s only by luck that nobody has died yet, but better late than never. When we know where they are, we can avoid them.

We now have two inflatable SUPs, an 11 foot model and a 10 foot model, and for the first time, @Sylvia Knight and I went out on the sea together. It was a beautiful calm day; the Atlantic was being very benign with a smooth sea state, crystal clear water. Saw loads of fish and you get s really good view from up there on the SUP.
I really like the smaller of the two boats. It’s sporty and moves with the swell, giving a very dynamic feel. Looking forward to doing a lot more of this!

BTW, AIUI the major difference between head lice, body lice, and pubic lice is more geography than biology, so head and public lice could probably transmit it too.
But they live directly on us, in our hair, and don't mingle every time we take our clothes off and put them in a pile.
That's probably why head and public lice are not known for being disease vectors.

Yeah, I would have blocked that account on Reddit lickety-split. That’s not how someone who was been wronged speak.
Also twatter, Reddit, meta(stasis), etc will happily lock out an account. So that’s not an argument, unless it’s related to their famously lax rules for certain demographics (go to some of the religious subreddits and view death threats to large groups of people).
