Title edited a bit to clarify that it's UK datacentres, and that it's specifically proposed ones - apparently the network is being swamped by speculative applications for grid connection and this might help weed out the non-serious candidates.

Original title was "Data centres could pay hundreds of millions in deposits for power demands"

Sadly it's true. I've seen people just put the dishes in the dish rack and let the soap bubbles slide off them.

This one has a digital oscillator, but uses a coil of wire wrapped around a loudspeaker to introduce feedback into the audio path. This somehow gives a really nice 'roughness' to the sound.

CRI of 80 is not great. From my reading, you want CRI 90 if you want light that's pleasant to exist in.

Yabridge works, and it's frankly incredible that it works at all, but it has some trouble figuring out where I'm clicking on EZDrummer. It's gotten better in the latest version of Linux Mint but it's still a bit off.

You can still sometimes find mushroom ketchup in UK supermarkets. It tastes a bit like Worcester sauce (spicy and 'brown' tasting), but milder as it has no anchovies in it.

That's the previous setup from four years ago, where the rats just run down a straight corridor.
