I wasn't wearing a helmet when I was run through by a motorcycle. Hospitalized for a week with broken and dislocated ribs, shoulder, arms and digits, with a punctured lung, my surgeons reassured me that a helmet really wouldn't have helped. Actual true story.
She'd probably do well on Nebula.tv
Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts.
Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. Donations to Ministers pay dividends.
£1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses
Health service “taken for a ride”.
Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity

"nationalist" in this case might be a portmanteau of "national socialist"
Feels like this one's running in reverse.
Their privacy policy does make it pretty clear that it's benign. The only alarm bell there is that they only need to give 30 days' notice if they sell up to another company, but only commit to a 35 days minimum retention period if you close your account with them.

Yeah, I'm also a proud member of "© OpenStreetMap contributors"
If you don't own/run a small business near you, but you use one and want it to thrive, there's nothing stopping you signing up and adding details yourself.

I tried to do your survey but at the end it said my reCaptcha had failed. I didn't even see a reCaptcha. So you wasted my time and got nothing from me.

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award
You acknowledge that there's a climate emergency, on your website. Cutting fuel duty undermines this message.
Alas, you need to buy an FT account to read it now.
Comic panel: TO MEN PASSED THE ROLES OF DOMESTICS AND HOUSEKEEPERS. A boy: BUT MOTHER--WHY CAN'T I GO TO ROCKET CADET SCHOOL LIKE YOU DID? A woman: BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN, GREG -- THAT'S WHY!
Morning Bluesky.
Trump doesn't want the UK to give it away, and fails to understand that we'd only be giving it back. It doesn't belong to the UK, and the USA certainly has no strong claim to it.
Most cars spend most of their time motionless and empty. That's when they should be charging.
Base load is an artefact of rotational inertia in steam-driven turbines. It can be designed out.
The last cohort who were taught to operate a slide rule are dying out now, too.
Thanks for that link. Looking around the place, it seems that every nearby location one might want to cycle to, has other, decent bicycle parking much closer.
I can see a bicycle or two in the racks outside the car park on the other side of the road.
Skoda, you know, the car guys, have developed a bicycle bell with a sound that gets through noise-cancelling headphones.
They're sharing the technology for free, rather than using it for profit.
I love that.

Škoda were bicycle guys even before there were cars. Alas, unlike Peugeot, they're not still making bicycles.
I do love this news, though. It seems they are making an effort.
Personally, I appreciate a good hose-down-able seat on a bus.
Never discussed? I'm not sure we live in the same world.
Parked cars are an indicator of dead space.
Imagine if we had more walkable spaces and park benches under trees instead of this
The videos are still on a permanent loop. Does anybody know if there's a third party client that gives the option to play videos once each? It's not something they lead with in the description.
You do.
Marples owned a motorway construction company, except he didn't, because he gave it to his wife when he became minister for transport. Open corruption. He dismantled the competing mode of transport, and made sure that the tracks were ripped up so that it couldn't easily be undone.
