Add Icons to WordPress’ Core Button Block

Nick Diego, a developer advocate at Automattic and core contributor, is the author of the popular Icon Block plugin that enables users to add custom SVG icons and graphics to the WordPress block editor. He is often asked if the plugin can add icons to the core Button block, but that is outside the scope of what it does. Last week he wrote a plugin that fulfills this feature request in a separate plugin without building a custom block. Everyone asks me if @theiconblock can add icons to the core Button block in #WordPress. Unfortunately, the . . . [More]

A High-Res UFO in the Sky Vacation Picture

I remembered having an odd vacation picture with an object in the sky, which i could not identify.A couple of weeks ago i posted a low-res version of this picture, that i had found on an old laptop of mine.But it was way too compressed (low-res).So i began to look for the original, but presumably lost file.I finally found the original high-res picture from a vacation in 2007.What do you think about it?.I hope that someone has better analysis tools than i do (in my case zero) or a better explanation for what this object could be.I showed it to a . . .

LG front loading washing machine issue, please help!

I have had an LG washer and dryer set couple a little less than two years. It recently started sending me the OE code. When it is draining it is making a loud surging sound. After doing some research, I figured it must be my drain pump. I replaced the drain pump and ran a speed cycle. The first cycle completed yet still had the surging sound. The second and everyone since fails to the OE code.The corrugated drain pipe isn't crushed. I recently took the door off and put it back on, but it ran cycles after I put it back on.
