1636 km
Whilst running this morning I wondered how far I had run in total, well since I downloaded Runtastic and started tracking it. I dont class myself as a runner but try to go 3 or 4 times a week, I was suprised when my app had recorded 1636 km of runs. It feels nowhere near…
CBDedeeeee
Checking my junk mail folder this morning, one of the emails in there went like this: “This is crazy… I just read that accidental drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death in America. (And half of those deaths are from prescription drugs!) This means that your doctor could be prescribing addictive drugs…

Pembrokeshire bins
Not sure how this ended up in Pembrokeshire, guessing it was a good Royal Ascot!
Dark mode for devs
But seemingly, not for much else? “Unfortunately, Apple’s marketing claims about Dark Mode’s benefits fly in the face of the science of human visual perception. Except in extraordinary situations, Dark Mode is not easy on the eyes, in any way. The human eyes and brain prefer dark-on-light, and reversing that forces them to work harder…
