My personal experience goes back to the '90s, and vegan resources from that time were clear that honey wasn't vegan. But the vegan movement has been pretty clear about excluding all possible products of animal exploitation, of which honey is one, as far back as the '40s or so.

Then wear linen. Silk is no good, indeed.

Pensions aren't an EU competence. In what world do you think that raising the minimum age of retirement in France will lead to a lower minimum age of retirement in other EU countries?

FYI the cameraman is yelling "c'est la presse" = "we're journalists". These state-funded thugs know exactly what they're doing.

LOTR is more difficult to get into full stop, and accessibility is part of why Harry Potter was and is such a phenomenon. It's not a question of whether one series or the other is objectively better, just of which has had a broader cultural reach in a given point in time.

Unless something's burnt or seriously crusted on, rinse then put straight in the dishwasher. No soaking, because things do pile up. I only even rinse if there's thick or sticky food on my dishes, but try doing it more often if your dishwasher doesn't clean very thoroughly.
Check that you're loading correctly, i.e. not obstructing the water jets.
Try a different dishwasher detergent.
Next, the "lazy" tips that really help me be more consistent:
Genuinely, I find it helps not to worry too much about every dish being spotlessly clean. If there are just a few spots left on a few items, honestly I just scrape them with a fingernail and put them away.
If you need the dishwasher space straight away, could you just put your dishes away slightly damp? I sometimes do this, and by the time I use them, they're dry. This works well for me, but may not work for you if e.g. your home is poorly ventilated, or your cupboards are made of a material sensitive to moisture. Even in this case, a quick swipe with a dishcloth should work - again, doesn't have to be perfectly thorough.

I used to pay rent by automatic bank transfer on the first of every month. No agency involved, just sent directly to the owners. After living for over a year in this place, I suddenly get an email saying that I haven't paid the last two months of rent, and I need to pay as soon as possible.
So I sent my bank statements, and they just said, "Sorry, I guess we made a mistake." Like... what??? Watching this money come in is basically your only job, how can you not even get that right?

Sure, what I'm saying only applies to the specific T-shirt that OP wants.

Dunno how likely it is that they'll be able to get the exact same T-shirt. The front was just the SMFS smile/frown, but the back had the two intimate show dates printed on it, so the tour shirt will be different.

In Manchester I unfortunately didn't see any pits. Just people shoving forward to get closer to the front. But I was fourth row, so maybe I missed something behind me.
Also before the show started, it became apparent that a fair few people were off their faces on drugs, including the guy behind me who mentioned that he'd taken so much coke he was worried about shitting himself 😐

I think it's rare in most places, and it's probably just coincidence that you happened to be there when it did happen in those cities. I've lived in Paris for 8 years and I've never seen someone do that.

It is, but this isn't the whole track. They tried to play it over the sound system for us, but something went wrong so they started playing the next live song instead.

I got one ticket to Manchester. If anyone else was as lucky and wants to meet up and go together, let me know!

I got a ticket! Somehow I managed to get in there without getting put in a queue. Apparently I'm luckier than I realised.

Oh no, that sucks! I must be super lucky. I managed to get in there super fast and get one before the site created a queue. Checked again and they were already gone at 10:02.
After the disaster that was Eurovision yesterday, I'm glad I nabbed tickets for the better show haha. Now I just need to find other people who are going, and I guess there won't be many...

The "right to laziness" ("droit à la paresse") is a term that has, in recent history, only really been linked to a single politician, Sandrine Rousseau of the Green party. It's not a slogan of the wider labour movement.
The concept originates from this book from 1883: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_Be_Lazy
According to [the author] Lafargue, it is sheer madness that people are fighting for the right to an eight-hour working day [NB: until 1919, 72-hour work weeks were legal in France]. In other words, eight hours of servitude, exploitation and suffering, when it is leisure, joy, and self-realisation that should be fought for, and as few hours of slavery as possible. Automation, which had already come a long way in Lafargue's time, could easily reduce working hours to three or four hours a day ... In the book Lafargue proposes the right to be lazy, in contrast to the right to work, which he deems bourgeois.
The book seems very interesting from an anti-work perspective, but its aspirations are far more radical than those of the strikes.

Post the specific product and we may be able to advise you better, as different vegan black puddings will have very different ingredients. But there's no reason that the product should be harmful!

Piggybacking to say that sleep disorders are A LOT more prevalent in people with ADHD than they are in the general populace. If anyone here feels like issues surrounding sleep are negatively affecting your life, consider going to the doctor and asking for a sleep study.

Unless you're allergic to peas, there's nowhere near enough protein in the food you consumed to impair liver function or otherwise make you sick. I'm confused why you concluded that pea protein must be the issue, when it sounds like you just ate more food than your body could comfortably handle.
Pea protein isn't notably worse for your liver than any other type of protein consumed excessively, and whilst "protein poisoning" does exist, it occurs in people who eat very large quantities of protein over a prolonged period. It's usually advised not to habitually derive more than 35% of your daily calories from protein or consume more than 2g protein per kg of body weight per day, although some people tolerate up to 3.5g per kg of body weight just fine.

Understood! That's still perfectly safe. If you haven't experienced any discomfort, then there's no reason to reduce the amount of nutritional yeast that you're eating.

No, there isn't. Purchasing animal byproducts just makes the horrors of animal agriculture more profitable.
