I really like how they look and in my flat wall sockets are at a premium so I have a couple of extension leads that run along the skirting boards.

Is there a legal reason why there isn't a similar braided cable that is rated for 16amps?
The closest I've found is steel braided cable but obviously thats not really why I'm looking for and it's wicked expensive.

is there anything stopping me from buying 2.5mm single core and making my own?

Tips for staying on top of skincare during the summer?

I have a pretty standard routine

daily:

soap wash

Chlorhexidine rinse

SA scrub and exfoliate

Glycolic acid toner

Moisturiser

weekly: topical retinoids and peptides

It’s a lot but nothing special, however in the heat I’m sweating so much (i know gross) that my routine isn’t seemingly isn‘t enough to keep breakouts and sebum at bay.

it’s not terrible or the end of the world but I’m hoping I’m missing something obvious.

Projector screen to AT or to not bother?

I've got a custom cut Melamine board and brackets coming in the post so I can have plants above my TV and fill that negative space.
And it got me thinking about projectors again, I used to have a cheap projector years ago and loved it for watching movies.

However, as you can see I don't have space t move the speakers out past the screen area and I don't have acoustically transparent screen money.

Do you think the speakers being behind the screen will annoy me so much I don't use it or will it be bearable?

For context TV is 42" cheap £200 4k thing I bought to replace the cheap projector I had after the LCD burnt out and the bookshelves edge to edge are 215cm
