There's a long tradition in the UK of comedy candidates, notably the Monster Raving Loony Party.

There's even some talk of a potential Loony-Bin alliance.

Why is it bad that one of the key components of plastic is fossil fuel? Isn't locking it up in plastic preferable to burning it?

If they are referring to the energy cost of manufacturing it, that's got nothing to do with the raw material being fossil fuels.

It would seem that the optimal solution to both maintain readability and not waste screen space would be to start counting the characters from after the indentation. Since indentation is stepped, you won't (often) be jumping massive horizontal distances.

Deleting Chrome on Android is difficult but you can go one better than disabling it.

If the government want to help (and the new government has shown a strange attraction to price interference), they could simply let schools choose their own holidays, as long as they have the right number of school days in the year.

It would be a bit harder for families with kids in different schools, but probably most schools would be _more or less_ the same, with just a bit more variation to spread it around a little bit.

Jewish law requires some new utensils to be ritually immersed in water before use[1]. There are differences of opinion around electrical appliances, but I have successfully dunked toasters, cheese toasters, and many other small appliances, let them dry for a few days, and never had any issues.

Zaka is the Israeli first responder organization that did a lot of the work on October 7.

wahnfrieden is apparently an October 7 denier and is annoyed that the BBC does think it happened.

I vary it based on if the cover came out the machine inside out or not.

If it did, I spread out the duvet, burrow inside the cover, grab the far corners of the cover from the inside and then through it also the corners of the duvet at the same time, and invert it.

If it came out the right way round, I spread out the cover, grab two corners of the duvet, burrow inside the cover with the two corners of the duvet until they reach their destination, and come out again.
