Being told by a local sew and stitch shop that it'll be 15 quid to shorten a polo shirt that only cost 20 quid in the first place.
I hate to say it, but first world problems. It costs a fraction of what it should cost to produce the item of clothing. Or just capitalism.

TIL that ladybugs are also called ladybirds
We call them ladybirds in the UK. No idea why.

I'm gettin' Reeeeeeaaaal TIRED of hearing the word "Federation."
In realms of unity, where dreams ignite, A tapestry we weave, colors burning bright. Bound by a vision, a shared destination, We embark on a journey of federation.
From scattered fragments, we rise as one, A chorus of voices, a rising sun. No walls can divide, no borders confine, In this symphony of hearts, our souls align.
With open arms, we welcome the diverse, For it is the tapestry that we immerse. Liberating differences, we celebrate, Each thread we intertwine, a bond innate.
Federation, the essence of our stride, As we march together, side by side. Hand in hand, we build bridges anew, Embracing the power of "me" becoming "we."
A union of strength, our foundation secure, Shared hopes and dreams, we shall endure. In the face of adversity, we stand tall, Collective resilience, the heart of it all.
Federating minds, we forge a path, Beyond the horizons, where destiny hath. A mosaic of nations, cultures combined, Unity's symphony, forever entwined.
Through collaboration, our power ignites, Limitless possibilities take flight. From governance to innovation's reign, Federation's legacy, a boundless domain.
So let us raise our voices, sing with pride, For in federation, our spirits reside. Together we shall conquer, together we shall be, A symphony of harmony, forever free.

I got rid of the custom ones as I still got crashes, even after disabling the 2 options - shuffle/wake movie.

I might be talking out of my arse, but you could bring a toothpick with you and try removing any fluff/grime from the socket before plugging in. Worked for my phone when the usbc charger wasn't secure.

TIL: Pill Bugs (Poly Polies) are actually crustaceans and still have gills!
Next in the series of what the UK names bugs... These are commonly called woodlice where I live, but I also found out in other areas in the UK they go by the name cheesy bugs, cheesy bobs, cheeselogs, chiggy pig, chucky pig, or chuggy peg; and daddy grampher, crawley baker, or granny grey.

Black Mirror. Bit bored to be honest.
