US FDA suspends milk quality tests amid workforce cuts
The article doesn’t make this clear but “proficiency testing” is a “testing the testers” activity that ensures that labs’ procedures are working. So milk testing done by labs will still be done but those labs won’t be tested until this is resolved. Yes, the activity being stopped is important but a short stall shouldn’t immediately accept food safety.

Feeling the lack of moderation now Reddit?
Reply in thread
A key thing about the API is that moderating gets harder when the apps that moderators use to streamline/facilitate their work suddenly stopped working. Those apps relied on the Reddit API. These were created by and for the moderator community out of necessity.
Moderators had asked Reddit for tools and when Reddit didn’t provide they built their own. Then Reddit switched off the API without offering replacement tools.
That’s likely the primary reason that Reddit’s mods left and its content took a nosedive.

Dad the grey pipe on the left is linked to the washing machine, it got loose and leaked. How do I stop it happening again?
Bonus tip for anyone diy-ing plumbing: Chances are decent that you won't get it all 100 percent right the first time. Pick up a water sensor for $20 at the hardware store and put it under your work when done. That way if something leaks you'll know right away instead of when mold and water damage happen.

Nebraska senator invokes colleague's name while reading a rape scene from a memoir
Finally a headline that doesn’t bury the lede. Local news outlets have been using headlines that suggest the concern is his reading of profanity and not that he substituted a colleague’s name into a story about rape.

FYI, when viewed from the voyager app the image is small unless I click on it. So depending on the app people use their experiences are different.
