Guide to Punctuation

I use them a lot in things like emails and messages; this is due to being detailed, but needing a way to make it clear the info is an aside/for clarity.
I like the guides from Sussex. www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/...

I hate the pop ups for it on Amazon (shopping), it's not feasible for how many users want to use the account.

passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution

Rules for employing minors If you employ minors or young adults in the Netherlands you must comply with special rules. Read what rules there are.

Yup, that tracks with it being a non-school day.

Child employment Minimum working age and pay for children, how to apply for performance licences and what local council bylaws say about employing children, paying someone over 16

Employers now need to get a permit, and the hours are really restrictive. www.gov.uk/child-employ...

I'm PMSL given the hours I worked from 13, and especially during 1 summer where I had 3 jobs. (I think one was technically work experience).

I was fortunate to count @markjx.bsky.social as a colleague for several years, I always enjoyed our conversations; even over the medium of Teams calls (with a backdrop of O'Reilly books and friendly cats) he radiated kindness. He is truly missed.

Doesn't 'off' mean no limit, and '0 mins' would disable it?

Italy investigates beauty brands over concerns about young girls’ mental health Regulator fears use of ‘covert marketing strategies’ by Sephora and Benefit might fuel compulsive habits

I have been asked for "branded makeup" by one of my nieces for their birthday. The other year, the younger one asked for Bum Bum Cream.

Italy are looking into this www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
The "Sephora Kids" article last year was an interesting read. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Some of the Next women's PJs have pockets - it's great, the only downside is I have a habit of failing to rid them all of tissues.

The pholcodine Case. Cough Medicines, IgE-Sensitization, and Anaphylaxis: A Devious Connection The Scandinavian data on pholcodine (PHO) strongly indicates that there is a biological chain from PHO exposure through IgE-sensitization to IgE-mediated anaphylaxis to neuromuscular blocking agents (...

Science paper on it.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Given the ban, I suspect no longer made as FR, UK & HU were major exporters. (ref in the paper)
The USA treat it as a class 1, so not available there.
India issued a warning about it after the WHO alert.

EMA recommends withdrawal of pholcodine medicines from EU market | European Medicines Agency (EMA)

Sadly banned and recalled across the EU, UK, AUS - this was due to a rare complication with GA - had a bit of a panic over this when I went in for an op a couple of years ago, as it was in Day Nurse etc.

The UK also made coedine linctus a POM.
Seem dextromethorphan is what's left.
Get well soon.

Picture taken from the passenger side of a LHD car. In the foreground is the dash and part of the steering wheel. There is bright yellow rapeseed visible close to the car in a wide space separating the oncoming traffic. A white car can be seen in the right of the picture, on the left of the picture a white wind turbine, beyond this a stripe of orange, and then a large stripe of fuchsia pink, and then a stripe of pale pink, these are tulips from a distance. In the background are green trees, the sky is blue, with some small white clouds. It is sunny

Not the best picture of tulips, but I like the colours in this picture.

Just being a bit sensitive due to family reasons, between tween and teen nieces, and a grandparent in their mid-90s with dementia, I'm at a stage in life of edge cases. (the dementia situ plays on my mind a lot)
