@HelloWorld_Edu 👮‍♂️Ⓜ️🐴 was set here

@CodeBoom We're not sure if it's because it's later in the day or if the UK sunshine has got to us, but we're stuck 🤷 Can we have a clue please? 😊

It's #WorldEmojiDay 📅 🥳 Let us guess where you're reading @HelloWorld_Edu from. Reply with an emoji (or emojis) and we'll try and work it out. 🗺️📍📚 #CSEd #CSChat #Technology

@MrAHarrisonCS Thank you Alan, your support is very much appreciated! 🥰

Thank you to everyone who responded! Really interesting to see the results 😄

If you program in any capacity, work or play, please tell me, do you ever use pseudocode to plan a program you are writing? (Don’t include using pseudocode to teach) 💻👩🏾‍💻

@MrOW_CS I have taken some y7s because they were doing a presentation, and lots of people do. Some stallholders totally ignored their existence and that was quite a good indication of whether I should be interested in their product!

CS people - is BETT suitable for taking a few students along to? Apparently my school has done it before pre-me but I thought it was more of a teachers and other staff types thing!

Yesterday and today I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast. Big whoop, I know, but some years back I was told I had a nut allergy and given epipens. I was later tested again and I don’t, but it made me scared to eat nuts. 🥜

Curly hair update! Lacking in funds at the moment to try more expensive products, but I have had really good results from Aussie curls deep treatment and curl conditioner if that helps anyone 🙌👩🏻‍🦱

@twostraws @hacktivateio This looks so cool! 😦 @BenGUpNorth @ParityParry @philipcolligan

Three months ago I launched @hacktivateio: a cybersecurity challenge site with 250+ "capture the flag" tests for students aged 11-21. Since then 20,000 solutions have been posted, and the pace doubles every week 🤯 Here's what one teacher says about it. hacktivate.io

@krn My son’s school recently announced a “none uniform day”. 😳

@twostraws @amoamoamo I don’t even know what this is, but NOPE!

So @amoamoamo has one of the slickest onboarding experiences around, but then crashes in flames with this dialog that forces you to share all your contacts. I’d happily invite specific people, but it’s deeply wrong for me to share everyone’s details without permission. TTFN!

@MiniGirlGeek Argh I feel your pain. So frustrating to see the thick red line every time! Hope it bogs off soon.

I really want to leave the hooooouse. Josh is negative for COVID now but I'm still very firmly positive. 😭

With strong ¿Esos son Reebok o son Nike? vibes, I was today years old when I realised this song is not in French 😂🙈👌 open.spotify.com/track/6Wnlq1Pu…

Teachers pensions be like: You might get a free kitten, but that means we’ve rolled back your option for a free puppy. You can buy a lizard but only if you had 78 showers between April 2021 and March 2022. By the way, there’s a bear behind you and it’s on fire.

Does anyone else find the emails from teachers pensions completely lacking in context and indecipherable but also pretty stress inducing as there’s probably an action you should be taking if you could work out what it actually meant? 😅

@MolloyLaurence @ForrisHilier I think the problem with some bacteria is that you can kill the bacteria itself, but it produces spores which can endure boiling etc. and then once conditions become favourable again the spores reactivate and you’re in the 💩

@ForrisHilier @CodeBoom IFAIUI, alcohol and acid can slow / stop development of botulism. Boiling can kill it. Presumably why heat is an important part of the canning process. Oil produces an anaerobic environment that botulism loves. It loves low air and low acid environments and thrives at room temp.

New food experiment. Purchased a yellow sticker joint of beef topside (vacuum sealed) from the supermarket 2 weeks ago. Slow cooked this evening, 2 weeks after use by date. Very tasty! If you don't hear from me tomorrow, I've made a big mistake... let's see.

@MolloyLaurence Indeed. A lot of the training I did was obvious common sense, but the specific bits about different types of bacteria were really interesting 🦠

@CodeBoom Aye... I switched from olive oil to sherry (alcohol content > 5%) for my fridge jar of chopped garlic, chilli & ginger when I read about the botulism risk of garlic in oil.

@doismellburning I ended up reading this page - it’s wild! In 2013 ASOS ended up with a batch of belts studded with Cobalt-60 😳 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c…

@CodeBoom During radiotherapy I managed to read *three* different stories where someone got irradiated in space, and well, you can guess how it went for them…! (It was fine, but like, y’know…?)

I’d really love it if people who are imminently about to die of illness in films could not *always* have cancer. It’s like walking downstairs and discovering a lion in your living room every f-ing time, and it really ruins the film for me. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
