‘The French people want to save us’: help pours in for glassmaker Duralex (www.theguardian.com)
 

Duralex glasses are beautiful. They have clear "made in France" at the bottom. We bought a few colourful ones back to England when we visited France last year.

UK concerned by use of Chinese drones used to survey nuclear power plant, solar farms, water reservoirs in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

That’s in part because DJI is the world’s largest maker of commercial drones, leaving firms with limited choice when it comes to procuring low-cost unmanned aerial systems.

I have been looking forward to a non-Chinese alternative for some time as I am quite interested in getting a drone...

What is this spider? (lemmy.world)
 

Found this at home in England. I moved to England from Hong Kong not long ago, so I'm not familiar with local spiders at all. Maybe it's very common?

Oh, interesting. Is there a name for this?

I've heard there are tiny sculptures made for scraping mud off shoes. Didn't know it can be built into the entrance.

I moved to England from Hong Kong recently. I found that it is common to see these holes (tiny doorway arch looking thing) in front of houses. What are they?

I know many of you got bored of these clichés. But without them, it's not Brighton.
