Love this. I block network access to them via the router, if they have to be connected at all. You would be unsurprised to learn just how often they try and 'phone home'.

Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.

Please come to Folkestone!

Got any tips?! 😂

Funnily enough we do have a rep who we know, and they didn't mention it until we contacted them! Then a hurriedly arranged Teams call 🤦

No one in my department knew about this, not even in procurement. No engagement from manufacturer until we emailed them. Poorly managed!

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

I'd encourage everyone to make sure their relatives/care-givers know what's important to them towards the end of their lives.

Involve your family and then discuss documenting it with your healthcare team.

My grandfather died peacefully at home last night, surrounded by family and with anticipatory medicines in place.

I advised my family to discuss #AdvanceCarePlanning last year. It paid off, and a distressing rush to hospital, which he didn't want, was avoided.

Difficult conversation worth having.

Why does Nigel Farage want me to lose my job?

For example 'other people are working/operating in this space' when they mean 'they're doing the same/similar thing'

Can I add 'in this space' when talking about similarity...

Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone. BECKY [on phone]:  Yeah, hiya... 2 BECKY: Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs. 3 BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]: Sorry what was your name again? 4 [Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a normal human teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.] PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility 5 BECKY Sorry - Your name is Easter…? PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre. 6 VICKY: Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs. 7 PAGAN GODDESS: Sorry love, what’s your name? BECKY: Becky PAGAN GODDESS: Well, Vicky - 8 PAGAN GODDESS: If it was you who’d shagged the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to an actual living god - my son Darren here - TEENAGE BOY: Muuum… 9 PAGAN GODDESS: ….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too! 10 PAGAN GODDESS: Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival! 11 BECKY: You mean… Jesus…? PAGAN GODDESS: I mean shagging, Vicky. 12 PAGAN GODDESS: Is it too much to see  just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4? TEENAGE BOY: MUUUUM

Happy Easter

Question for #runsky. Doing #CouchTo5K and having some knee pain on same side as ankle I broke 20 years ago, suspect some stability issues. How important are running shoes? I'm 6'5" and 100kg, are there any good shoes that won't break the bank for a newbie? #running #physio

At a relatively young age, generally good to buy into a global index fund. They take a large hit in situations like this and Covid but on the whole they keep climbing on average, and cost less than actively managed funds (which often don't outperform).

Screenshot of the linked Quarto website, with input checkboxes to change different conditions for a regression model that predicts economic performance based on US political party, with a reported p-value

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

This is truly one of the great scandals with NHS drug funding.

Your average "NHS refuses to fund.." headline is for a stupidly over priced drug with a disappointing benefit.

This is a relatively cheap drug with a substantial improvement. 672 deaths. 2 jumbo jets worth of deaths.

I listened to the CEO of Anthropic (big AI firm) on BBC R4 this morning saying we're all in the same boat when it comes to automation and AI replacing workers. Except we're not, are we? The wealthy will do just fine, it's the rest of society that will be forced to adapt.
