meanwhile, US/UK relations are yet again in - ahem - hot water.

The US Embassy fairly leaped into action to do damage control. Surprisingly, they also demonstrated that, irrespective of expectations, they do have a sense of... umm... humour.
US scientist recommends adding salt to make perfect cup of tea
The US embassy describes Prof Michelle Francl's suggested tea recipe as an "unthinkable notion".

Always wonder about that. First, that's an interesting gear set-up for 1954 (Rear Window). Also, was that much lens really needed just to peek across a courtyard?
Lemme make your statement correct by adding one of the latest NYC hipsters:
Devon Turnbull - goes under the pseudonym Ojas Sound Systems - is the latest darling of the hipster crowd.

My wireless router has five wires plugged into it, with room for one more.
Who is your Spirit Guide? Sheldon Cooper?I am sooo far ahead of uze 'awl about cable-OCD.
Yes, my cable-compulsion continues to grow 'em in sheer numbers and the count of bins that are full of them:
*My collections are not tangled messes
*My collection has grown out of using cable-ties
*My collection now stuff 'em in ziplocs
*My collection labels all the ziplocs (YY/MM, length, type)
*My collection sorts the bins by separating similar-type cables together
*My bins are also properly labeled
*If a cable MUST be in a visible location - anywhere in the house - the color of the cable MUST match the background
*All hidden (or otherwise) cables MUST be the correct length << no more than a few loops en-route; including power cables
*All cables serving active duty MUST bear To/From labels at each connector-terminating end.
Beat that!
Should I seek therapy??
[a shout-out must go to aliexpress for allowing me to obsess w/relatively minimal cable costs]
Mine are a size 12.
ADD: Oooops! I forgot to add that I replaced the shoe-strings with two old/short Cat5 cables (w/only 2 loops per shoe and no labels)

Yes. Yes, indeed.
I know a fair amount about Mr. Turnbull. We have a few mutual acquaintances. I run with a bad crowd, you know...

A perfectly triangular lake has 3 kingdoms on its 3 sides
The first kingdom is rich and powerful, filled with wealthy, prosperous people, the second is humbler, but has its fair share of wealth and power. The third kingdom is struggling and poor, and barely has an army.
The kingdoms eventually go to war over control of the lake, as it's a valuable resource to have. The first kingdom sends 100 of its finest knights, clad in the best armour and each with their own personal squire. The second kingdom sends 50 knights, with fine leather armour and a few dozen squires of their own. The third kingdom sends their one and only knight, an elderly warrior who has long since passed his prime, with his own personal squire.
The night before the big battle, the knights in the first kingdom drink and party into the late hours of the night. The knights in the second kingdom aren't as well off, but have their own supply of grog and drink well into the night.
In the third camp, the faithful squire gets a rope and swings it over the branch of a tall tree, making a noose, and hangs a pot from it. He fills the pot with stew and has a humble dinner with the old knight.
The next morning, the knights in the first two kingdoms are hungover and unable to fight, while the knight in the third kingdom is old weary, unable to get up.
In place of the knights, the squires from all three kingdoms go and fight. The battle lasts long into the night but by the time the dust settled, only one squire was left standing - the squire from the third kingdom.
And it just goes to show you that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.
