How can I unshrink a piece of clothing?
If a favourite garment has shrunk in the wash, you can try to rescue it with this simple method.
Gently soak the item in lukewarm water mixed with hair conditioner or baby shampoo (approximately one tablespoon per litre). Then, carefully stretch the fabric back into shape and dry it flat or under gentle tension – for example, by pegging the garment to a drying rack.
The reason this works is because conditioners have chemicals known as cationic surfactants. These will temporarily lubricate the fibres, making them more flexible and allowing you to gently pull everything back into place.
This process can’t completely reverse extreme shrinkage but it can help recover some of the lost size, making the clothes wearable again.

We (Rakesh and Sameer) worked at two pioneering companies, Databricks and ThoughtSpot, as early engineers, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in technology, building revolutionary products.
We found ourselves spending only half our time on what truly mattered—shipping features.
The other half? It was consumed by debugging and fixing issues.
...
Our mission is to help engineering teams break free from the endless cycle of debugging, so they can focus on what truly drives impact—building and shipping great features.
President Donald Trump on Sunday told reporters that the heads of American oil companies were informed of the US military's attack on Venezuela—described as "brazenly illegal" by scholars and experts—even before it took place.
Trump's admission, a renowned liar, sparked condemnation because the administration refused to consult with US lawmakers about the operation, citing fears of a leak that would compromise operational security.
There is a lot here, but if you feel you can't act using LE help, than Ohio has zero-criteria, male-inclusive housing options. They rarely use the word “shelter” on the web so they do not get swamped by single men seeking free motel space. You qualify under “survivor of family-violence with disability.”
When you call: you can give “first name only” and withhold your exact address—they will still arrange transport. Bring legal-ID. Proof-of-employment are not required; safety trumps paperwork.
• Crisis Hotline 24/7 (call from any phone – they will NOT disclose caller ID): • Ohio Domestic Violence Network – 1-800-934-9840 (ask for “male survivor advocacy”). Faster SMS/Text (smart-number line): Text “SAFE” + ZIP to 44357.
Three metros with immediate walk-in male units (all wheelchair/adaptive):
- CHOICES – Columbus & Delaware detox-friendly, 30–90 day stays.
- YWCA Dayton Brukner House male wing funded specifically for adults with disabilities; they take SSA or SSI clients and help reinstate payments if interrupted.
- Victims Assistance Cleveland & Erie County – 24-bed male DV dorm; can place you same night in independent-living room once CPO filed.
Next-72-hour legal & relocation funding:
- Flexible Financial Assistance – pays up to $2,500 toward deposit, mover, phone, food. One-page form + pic of lease invoice.
- Hotel program – ODVN hotel-voucher code is good for 7– 21 nights; county‐to‐county portability. Confidentiality clause forbids hotel from telling anyone who book and paid.
- REACH Rapid Re-housing – month-to-month subsidized lease for disabled adult DV survivors, renewable for 12 months.
It's worth mentioning that if your bother is drilling reserve status, or is a retiree who receives retired pay then call the Military Police & DoD Inspector General: 1 800 342-9647. Privileged report triggers immediate base-side investigation and overnight restriction orders—they don’t need your parents’ permission and cannot reveal your identity to them. Based on what you have written, he's in violation of Article Article 128 — Assault & Threats (10 U.S.C. § 928), Article 134 – Communicating a Threat, Article 134 — Disorder/Neglect to Prejudice, and Article 133 – Conduct Unbecoming an Officer / Qualities of Leadership.
Under Ohio, there are at least two statues: Domestic Violence Civil Protection Order (DV-CPO) – R.C. 3113.31
- specifically covers threats to kill or harm “household members” (supreme court.ohio.gov).
Red-/Yellow-Flag Extreme-Risk Protection Order (ERPO) – R.C. 2923.132
- judge can order police to seize all firearms & ammunition immediately if the respondent poses a “threat of violence”.
These two will remove your brother’s guns/ammunition within 24–48 h. And the Judge can make him vacate the home and stay 500–1,000 ft away even if your parents co-own the house.
There is no criminal charge, no attorney required (R.C. 3113.31(J)): county clerk must supply forms, waives all fees.
My suggestion is that tomorrow morning (or tonight if your county has night magistrate), walk in or use webcam petitioning (many Cuyahoga, Franklin, Summit and Hamilton courts offer online intake after 5 p.m.).
Make a check box “Emergency ex parte” (he does not get notice until order is already in force). You can attach as evidence: a short sworn affidavit of tonight’s threats, any photos of dead animals, and/or a recording (legal in Ohio if you are participant to the conversation).
The court can sign the DV-CPO order the same day and it will be served to him as soon as possible by local PD/Sheriff (generally within 24-48 hours). The hearing has to take place within 7- to 10-day which is a temporary window for you. If he violates the order that it is an instant jail offense R.C. 2919.27.
Forms & on-line helper: olh-cpo-launcher (Ohio Legal Help).
You are not required to broadcast to your family that you sought aid. Every corner of reporting him is lock-and-key confidential—police, courts, shelters. The only way your brother learns is if he breaks the order and is arrested, at which point you have county-funded housing, legal advocacy, and a safety net already in place, and he has a history which is going to make it much harder for him.
Stay safe, and reach out to safe places if you need space.

This method is not a viable framework for investment decisions. It creates artificial precision through inconsistent historical comparisons and ignores gold's own volatility and non-monetary role, as well as offers no actionable mechanism for real-world trading.
There is no way to trade the SP500 directly using gold, it's not a functional modern currency on it's own but rather a commodity. It requires an intermediate currency.
So interesting idea, and perhaps one some central bank of a country should create again, but not useful other than in abstract.
As was designed, once utility power failed, backup generators took over. But as the outage dragged on, indications came to the scientists in charge of the atomic clocks at NIST that one of the generators had failed. This prompted scientists to warn against relying on the Boulder NTP sources. The scientists running the clock feared complete failure of the hydrogen source clocks. Such failure would require a lengthy and complex re-start procedure once power was returned in the long term, and complete failure of a stratum one NTP source in the short term.
Further complicating the already bad situation was the fact that due to the dangers involved, the scientists could not reach the campus. So not only could they not confirm with certainty what issues the clocks may be experiencing, but they were unable to shut down the NTP servers. Fortunately, power was returned and the main source clock only drifted by a few microseconds. This is still far too much drift as would be preferred on a clock normally accurate in the range of nanoseconds, but perfectly usable for NTP which is only accurate to within a few milliseconds.
And from Update on Boulder Internet Time Services and atomic time scale
To put a deviation of a few microseconds in context, the NIST time scale usually performs about five thousand times better than this at the nanosecond scale by composing a special statistical average of many clocks. Such precision is important for scientific applications, telecommunications, critical infrastructure, and integrity monitoring of positioning systems. But this precision is not achievable with time transfer over the public Internet; uncertainties on the order of 1 millisecond (one thousandth of one second) are more typical due to asymmetry and fluctuations in packet delay.
NIST provides high-precision time transfer by other service arrangements; some direct fiber-optic links were affected and users will be contacted separately. However, the most popular method based on common-view time transfer using GPS satellites as "transfer standards" seamlessly transitioned to using the clocks at NIST's WWV/Ft. Collins campus as a reference standard. This design feature mitigated the impact to many users of the high-precision time signal.
Fascinating stuff. Gives some answers to how long in a zombie apocalypse too, not that didn't have them, and probably wouldn't need highly precise time in that existence, but amazing anyway.
Message go Apple: "Small Hands exists, you fucks!"
Also invent something useful. Seamless foldables is, ehh.
How about a phone you don't need too touch? Like make siri actually functional?
Or be dramatic and figure out a wag to counter the dumming down you propagate with your phones and find a way to improve peoples critical thinking skills...
Somebody post the actual article please. I hate it when paywalled article are not at least summarized. Not everyone subscribes to Forbes. And they are so aggressive that most of the paywall alternatives aren't working behind a vpn. https://byebyepaywall.com/en/
This Fucktard has no concept of real life challenges. I'm not condoning what the researcher did if it was intentionally, but having worked on research ships where biological samples need movement I am well aware of how hard it is for a PhD student to navigate the procedures to get samples into and out of the US and other countries. It's an ever loving pain in the ass. Unintentional missteps are possible all over the place.
We need researchers, we need PhD students, and scaring them further with this shit is only going to make our futures more dominated by the likes of China. This isn't a deterrent that is useful, it's a diverting of brain power to China.
Also, Patel can kiss the abuse of power acts as he's useless tard who is only droving agents away. Ferrying his girlfriend around on a private jet, being a premadonna demanding jackets with logos before he'll get off a damn plane. It's all show with him and no value.
Fuck off and due something useless... Like arrested the president for being a Pedophile.
I do all the time as well. Has changed my life in a very useful way. But as you said, knowing what it's place is, how to use it, and what it's limitations are (as well as my own) are key. I have solved many many problems I've been working on for years on in the digital world.
I also sympathize with the AI hate, and really struggle with the energy usage as well as the bubble. It has power and capability, but not what the "public" think it does.
I just deal with the online hate as it's not shit people says to my face, and it's driven of ignorance like much is these days.
And as you said there are development in the pipe which will further change our lives. Knowing how it works and why, as in using the critical thinking in synthesis with an LLM and what comes next is going to be valuable.
Many of them are from foia's on Muckrock.com and it takes a while. Governments are willing, but not overly so to give it up.
Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest. It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.
Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, moved out of her D.C. apartment building and into the home designated for the Coast Guard commandant on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, across the river from the capital, after the Daily Mail described where she lived. Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live on “Generals’ Row” at Fort McNair, an Army enclave along the Anacostia River, according to officials from the State and Defense Departments. (Rubio spent one recent evening assembling furniture that had been delivered to the house that day.)
The reported noted that the moves aren’t entirely unprecedented, as national security officials have previously rented homes on bases “for security or convenience.”
Ah, but rented vs rent-free... With little proof of actual risk.
The day was not only nonviolent but also historic. The estimated nearly 7 million who showed up across America marked the second-largest one-day protest in U.S. history, surpassed only by a very different type of event, the first Earth Day in 1970. That was roughly 40% largest than the first “No Kings” event in June, and in talking to protesters Saturday it seemed the turnout was only boosted by the right-wing rhetoric, that anti-Trump protesters must be some kind of domestic terrorists.
...
The official White House reaction, as related to one reporter, was “Who cares?” But guess what? They clearly cared, a lot. You could see that in the week leading up to the demonstration, with the increasingly insane rhetoric and warnings about “antifa” — a tiny, unorganized sliver of young rock-throwing radicals who were nowhere in sight Saturday — that aimed to neutralize the reality that millions of everyday Americans are sick of seeing a masked secret police snatch people off the streets.
In a maneuver that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un must have surely applauded, Trump’s Pentagon fired some artillery shells over a closed I-5 in the heart of Southern California’s anti-Trump rally as the protests were taking place — ostensibly to mark the 250th anniversary of the armed forces, but alsoas a reminder of the regime’s military might as Trump weighs invoking the Insurrection Act.
He suggests that original releases often included more "Easter eggs" or hidden features that were omitted in later, re-released versions. This implies that while the physical cost of the DVD might not have changed significantly, the value or content provided in re-releases was reduced.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is clearing the ranks of the military's lawyers to "get them out of the way" of possibly illegal moves, according to current and former defense officials.
Hegseth fired Lt. Gen. Joe Berger, the Army's top uniformed lawyer, early this year on the advice of the right-wing social media account LibsOfTikTok and he then removed the Air Force’s Judge Advocate General, Lt. Gen. Charles Plummer, describing both as "roadblocks to orders that are given by a commander-in-chief," reported CNN.
“I see this as part of a grander plan to remove lawyers from the [military’s] operational forces and get them out of the way,” said a former senior defense official.

Having spent a good amount of the last several weeks working on several self hosted things,I would have to agree. Simple projects shouldn't take long... But some shit happens.
When something is done and working, it is satisfying.
So how much did it cost to drag all of them to his special Ted talk? Government rules sure, but he just dragged all of the flag ranked official he could get his hands on and they are likely to be in hotels not barracks, and most probably flew commercial or use the VIP transports.
Are you sticking with Plex and hoping to phase in Navidrome on it later? Or a back end switch too?
