In the UK, standard outdoor taps (spigots) and garden hose accessories almost universally use 3/4-inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads.
How to verify: Measure the outside diameter of the male thread on your tap or existing hose connector using a tape measure or ruler. A standard 3/4-inch BSP thread will measure approximately 26.5 mm across the outer diameter (despite the "3/4 inch" name referring to an older nominal bore size).

Unpaid care: the realities of caring in the UK - The Health Foundation
Stuff we saw online:
“Unpaid carers play a vital role in society, supporting friends and family because of illness, disability, mental health problems or addiction. Caring is often rewarding but without the right support, it can come at a personal and financial cost.
We analysed national survey data from 2018 to 2025 on caring in the UK. 1 in 6 of all UK adults – equivalent to 8.9 million people – provided unpaid care in the period 2023–25 (similar to 2018–20). The true extent of unpaid care may be higher, since not all unpaid carers will identify as such.
Caring responsibilities did not fall equally: older people were more likely to be unpaid carers and women were 29% more likely than men to be unpaid carers.
Almost two-thirds (61%) of carers provided less than 20 hours of unpaid care a week. More than 1 in 5 (22%) unpaid carers provided more than 35 hours a week in 2023–25. These carers were more likely to provide care in the home.
37% of unpaid carers aged 18–29-years-old reported having a long-term health condition or being disabled, compared with 22% of 18–29-year-olds not providing unpaid care.
Working-age unpaid carers were less likely to be in paid employment – 59% were in paid employment, compared with 67% of working-age adults who were not carers. This fell to just 35% among those caring for more than 35 hours a week.”

From Environment to Genome and Back: A Lesson from HFE Mutations
As seen online:
“The environment and the human genome are closely entangled and many genetic variations that occur in human populations are the result of adaptive selection to ancestral environmental (mainly dietary) conditions. However, the selected mutations may become maladaptive when environmental conditions change, thus becoming candidates for diseases. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a potentially lethal disease leading to iron accumulation mostly due to mutations in the HFE gene. Indeed, homozygosity for the C282Y HFE mutation is associated with the primary iron overload phenotype. However, both penetrance of the C282Y variant and the clinical manifestation of the disease are extremely variable, suggesting that other genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of HH, as well as, and in its progression to end-stage liver diseases. Alcohol consumption and dietary habits may impact on the phenotypic expression of HFE-related hemochromatosis. Indeed, dietary components and bioactive molecules can affect iron status both directly by modulating its absorption during digestion and indirectly by the epigenetic modification of genes involved in its uptake, storage and recycling.”

“The Delphi consensus survey highlighted several unmet needs in the management of patients with HC, particularly the high burden of phlebotomy treatment and its limitations especially in controlling common symptoms like fatigue and arthralgia. Respondents indicated a substantial unmet need among patients who experience high treatment burden or who poorly tolerate phlebotomy and identified molecular-targeted therapies that address the pathophysiological root cause of HC as a suitable therapeutic option for this subgroup of patients.”

This moves the rectum away from the prostate by a small amount (usually 10-12mm) which is just enough for the rectum to be moved out of the high dose area of the radiation field.”

Why Are 90% Of Humans Right-Handed? An Evolutionary Biologist Explains
As seen online:
“If natural selection had strongly disfavored left-handedness, it would have been eliminated long ago, but it hasn’t been. Left-handers make up roughly 10% of every human population ever studied, and cave paintings and skeletal evidence confirm this proportion has remained stable for millennia. The most compelling evolutionary explanation is frequency-dependent selection: being left-handed confers an advantage in competitive face-to-face interactions (e.g., combat, wrestling, certain sports, etc.) precisely because most opponents have trained against right-handers. The minority is maintained because it is rare enough to be surprising.”

There has been little investigation of the cognitive impact of haemochromatosis. Case reports have described patients with extrapyramidal or cognitive dysfunction,7 confusion and psychomotor retardation,8 fatigue and impaired short-term memory.9
A comparison of patients with haemochromatosis to those without the disease on the Mini Mental State Examination over time (mean=3.2 years follow-up) found a link between bone lead levels and declining score over time in the haemochromatosis group.10 The assumed mechanism in this particular study is lead absorption.
Other groups have purported that cognitive dysfunction is secondary to hepatic failure11 or indeed noted progressive cognitive impairment in haemochromatosis in cases where there appears to be no evidence of major symptomatic organ impairment.12”

Beyond Anti-Intelligence: Where AGI Might Live | Psychology Today
As seen online:
“This paradox resonated because it exposes a deeper issue about how AI mimics thought without actually thinking. It dazzles with its outputs yet lacks the architecture of a mind. A visual always helps, so I created a cognitive map that showed how LLMs and human cognition are fundamentally different. The grid placed the two in quadrants that one can argue are "antithetical" and supported my initial idea of "anti-intelligence."
But this raised another important question. What happens in the other two empty quadrants? And more specifically, if today’s AI occupies this anti-intelligence zone, where else could cognition exist? What does the broader landscape of “thinking” look like when we push into that curious upper right quadrant? To answer that, we need a more complete cognitive map.”

ND16, when ISO is left on 50-3200 auto, will cover you from a dark room to full sun without going above 1800 ISO and without peaking highlights at ISO 50. However, if you prefer to set your ISO at 800 and rely entirely on NDs for your exposure, the heavier NDs will be appreciated.
