@ConsoomerLs it happens but if there are going to be expected prolonged periods of overtime or weekend work, then absolutely should be paid for

@ConsoomerLs of the things that didn’t happen, this is one of them 😂 question is simple, it means are you willing to dig deep, when it’s required to get something over the line? answer should be yes and an example from your past where you went above and beyond in a particular situation

Why would anyone want to work unpaid overtime?

@SamaHoole that does look delicious to be fair

The carnivore shepherd's pie goes in the oven without a potato anywhere near it. The mash was never the dish. It turned up around 1791, when the potato became the food of the labouring poor, and its job was to make a little meat look like a proper dinner. Two hundred years later we are still eating the cheap bit and calling it tradition. Every low carb replacement fails the same way: - Cauliflower: water, doing an impression. - Celeriac: potato with a posher accent. - Swede: orange, and it knows what it did. - Turnip: grey by minute ten. - Pork rinds: crunchy, soggy, gone. All of them auditioning for a part nobody needs cast. Replace the job instead: brown, hold a spoon, soak up gravy. - 800g lamb mince, 20% fat. - 250ml bone broth, the gelatinous kind. - 100g chicken livers, optional. - 6 eggs, 100ml cream, 75g melted butter. - 150g mature cheddar. Brown the mince in two batches until it has real colour, because grey mince tastes exactly as sad as it looks. Broth in, simmer to a thick gravy. Whisk the eggs with cream and butter, pour it over, 180C for thirty minutes. It puffs into a golden crust and slices cold the next day. Someone will tell you it is not a shepherd's pie without the mash. Ask them which part the shepherd was eating.

@alexanderrX_ leased cars disability allowance cars company cars these combined are probably the majority of overall sales types

every town in britain is full of £40-50k cars now and i earn more than 98% of this country and can’t justify one. how are you affording these? it’s not just the £500 a month. it’s the insurance, the maintenance, and the thing losing a third of its value in three years. what am i missing

@thecurioustales same outcome though, we just call it gravity

Newton's theory of gravity was wrong. We just kept teaching it anyway. Almost everyone pictures gravity the way Newton described it 340 years ago. The Sun sits in the center. Invisible strings of force reach out across space and pull the planets inward, like a cosmic game of tetherball. The planets want to fly off in a straight line, but the Sun keeps yanking them back, and the balance between those two forces traces out an orbit. That picture is beautiful, it's useful, and it's wrong. Einstein demolished it in 1915 and replaced it with something far stranger. There are no strings. There is no pulling. The Sun is not reaching out and grabbing anything. What the Sun actually does is bend the shape of space and time around it. Think of spacetime as a fabric, and mass as a weight resting on that fabric. The Sun is so massive it creates an enormous dent, a deep curved valley in the geometry of reality itself. The planets aren't being pulled toward the Sun. They're rolling along the curves of that valley, following the natural contour of bent space. A planet in orbit is actually traveling in a straight line. From its own perspective, it feels no force at all. It's coasting freely through space, moving in the straightest possible path available to it. The path just happens to be curved, because the space it's moving through is curved. The Sun didn't bend the planet's motion. The Sun bent the ruler you'd use to measure "straight." People assume there's "no gravity" in orbit, but that's false. Gravity at the altitude of the space station is nearly as strong as it is on the ground. Astronauts float because they, and their entire spacecraft, are in continuous free fall around the planet, following the curve of spacetime together. Falling and orbiting are the same thing. An orbit is just falling so fast sideways that you keep missing the ground. Now hold onto that idea, because it leads somewhere your mind will resist. Newton believed gravity was instantaneous. If the Sun vanished right now, he assumed Earth would fly off immediately. Einstein proved that's impossible. Gravity is not instant. Changes in gravity travel at exactly the speed of light. If the Sun disappeared this second, Earth would keep orbiting the empty space where it used to be for eight full minutes, because that's how long it takes the information that the Sun is gone to ripple across 93 million miles of spacetime. We would keep circling a ghost. We would feel the warmth of light that no longer has a source, and we would trace loyal circles around a gravity well that no longer exists, and we would have no way of knowing anything had changed until the darkness and the drift arrived together. There's a detail even deeper than that, and it's the detail that made Einstein's theory undeniable. For centuries, astronomers noticed that the planet Mercury's orbit was misbehaving. Its closest point to the Sun kept shifting, rotating slightly with every pass, an amount Newton's equations could not fully explain no matter how carefully they were tuned. Scientists were so confident in Newton that they invented an entire hidden planet, called Vulcan, and spent decades searching for it to explain the discrepancy. The planet did not exist. The discrepancy existed because space near the Sun is so severely curved that Mercury, being the closest planet, feels the warping more intensely than Newton's flat-space math could account for. When Einstein ran the numbers with curved spacetime, Mercury's strange precession fell out of the equations perfectly, with no fudging, no hidden planets, no adjustments. That single calculation was the moment we knew the old universe was gone. So when you look up and picture the planets held in place, let go of the strings. Nothing is holding them. Nothing is pulling. The Sun simply carved a shape into the fabric of existence, and everything nearby is faithfully, silently rolling along the walls of that shape, mistaking the curve for a straight line, mistaking free fall for a bond. Gravity was never a force gripping the planets. It was the geometry of the stage they dance on, quietly telling them where straight ahead actually leads.

@amelia_tweetz or broke and on the streets 😂

I genuinely believe a 4 day workweek with 5 to 6 hour days would change society for the better. People would be less stressed, spend more time with family and friends, and actually have the energy to enjoy life instead of just recovering from work. We'd probably end up healthier and happier because of it.

@ajmaxwell5 @JacobsBen you’ve completely missed the point lol

@JacobsBen European elitists genuinely believe football revolves around them. A tournament dominated by South America, Africa, and Asia would be far more passionate, unpredictable, and entertaining than watching tactical, robotic European 0-0 draws.

🚨 UEFA Statement: "UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investors. "The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football’s greatest sporting legacies. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent. No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale. "It is both irresponsible and indefensible that a proposal of such significance for football was conceived in secret and brought to the brink of approval without any meaningful consultation with those entrusted with stewarding the game. This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football. "National associations around the world are now presented with an ultimatum: accept the irreversible capture of football’s greatest competitions or bear the consequences. This is not a “democratic decision”, but governance by intimidation – an act of coercion unworthy of an institution entrusted with the stewardship of the global game. "But our opposition goes far beyond process. The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. "This model has no place in world football. Football’s future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. "Europe’s position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation. "As a result of today’s discussion, no UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership. "Nobody should be in any doubt: UEFA and its national associations will oppose these plans with absolute determination. "There are moments when institutions are judged not by what they are prepared to accept, but by what they refuse to compromise. This is one of those moments. Some things are simply too important to sell. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. It always will. And so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale."

@Nusaibaii @REDFEILD26 good game that, but I didn’t get very far through it dno at 35 years old games that feel like they need you to indulge A LOT of time, I struggle to pick back up and keep playing

@REDFEILD26 أحسن من اكسبدشن 33؟

الماب ذا فيه محتوى متنوع اكثر من اي لعبة بذا الجيل

pretty interesting that 7-250 per 100k on a singular vaccine

@Markus7Red bills or your tax would simply go up doing that Nationalising it does not necessarily save it either way, tax paying is going to fund it

FUCKING NATIONALISE THE WATER INDUSTRY ALREADY. THEY WASTE NEARLY 3 BILLION LITRES A DAY BECAUSE THEY INVEST FUCK ALL IN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.

@Lordoftheringsu he didn’t get beaten ezpz, he got very unlucky due to thinking he was unbeatable

Is this a plot hole, or is there a valid explanation for it?

@Maduka1008 i mean, guideline are do not have pillows or duvets in the cot…

This is another reason why mothers need to he around their babies and not knocked out in the other room.

@SamaHoole but i think the point is, if it’s not labelled as “grass fed” it’s been given other things in addition to grass where as the grass fed label means it’s only had grass

There's a sticker in the British supermarket that says "grass-fed," and people are paying extra for it. More money. For a label. Let me save you a fortune. Put the premium pack down, walk outside, and look at a field. Any field. What's in it? Cows. Standing in grass, eating grass, up to their knees in the stuff, doing the single most cow thing imaginable. That's not a marketing claim. That's the view from every train window in the country. This is a wet green island that grows grass better than almost anywhere on earth, and the national herd lives out on it, because that is simply how it's done here. Grass-fed isn't the premium tier in Britain. It's the factory setting. Around 85% of our beef cattle are raised on grass for their whole lives, on rain-soaked hills too steep and too soggy to grow anything else, turning land that would feed no one into some of the finest beef in the world. You're being charged a surcharge for the default. It's like paying extra for a "contains water" sticker on the sea. The bog-standard supermarket mince you walk straight past is already the thing that sticker is charging you to feel good about. Save your money. Buy the normal British beef. It was raised on grass before grass was a marketing department.

@bryan_johnson you know, you can get the sun, at the correct time of day but also, eat two Kiwi’s everyday and you’ll find that two Kiwi’s a day, reverses skin aging, wrinkes and thickens the skin.

I love the sun. I wish I could be in it all day, everyday. That’s what I did as a kid. Since starting my longevity project, I learned there is a tradeoff to sun exposure. It ages your skin, driving deep wrinkles, skin laxity and sun spots. 90% of visible skin aging is from the sun. Becoming sun aware for the past five years, I've reversed my skin age by 9 years. I've learned, nothing in biology is free. It always cuts two ways.

@bryan_johnson what is this meant to be? admission of defeat? you’re trying to achieve the impossible, you won’t know if you’ve succeeded for another 80-100 years. keep at it. the key, is to protecting telomeres. achieve that and stopping disease is secondary

been thinking things over and wonder if i’ve taken this whole longevity thing too far

@elmejordelresto was great but Lawson deliberately let Hamilton through so he didn’t get a tow and gave Verstappen the tow 😅 cheating as they are not same team but still awesome overtake

No había visto la onboard de Verstappen en el sobrepaso a Hamilton... Que animal 🐐

@pgeerkens @NiallHarbison seen some very fat cats like 😂

@NiallHarbison Stop feeding him table scraps. One meal a day at 5pm is plenty for a dog -- remember always that, unlike cats, dogs can and will eat themselves to death when unlimited food is in front of them.

An old friend came back today. Bella is massively obese. We’ve fixed her once before but things have taken a turn for the worse. She has a tough road ahead of her (1/6) 🧵

@BasedBiohacker gut recovery**

@BasedBiohacker you can literally google it and get the factual information oral is only useful for localised guy recovery, not for wider body benefits because the tablets do not have high enough bioavailability- factually oral > gut repair injection > targeted joint/muscle/ligaments

the scientist who originally isolated and named BPC-157 prefers oral over injection because it absorbs so well and there's still people saying oRAl dOeSNt WOrK every time i talk about it LMFAO oral mogs.

@celestialbe1ng Dr on 20th December was definitely right about being over medicated, so why didn’t he instruct to stop all medicine, do a detox and then start over. this is tragic

Two months before she killed her children with exercise bands, Lindsay Clancy told her prescriber she was unable to determine what was real. Disoriented, forgetful, confused, disconnected. They kept writing scripts. Here's what she reported and what they gave her, in order. Mid October 2022. A psychiatrist starts her on 25mg of Zoloft. Within days it's doubled to 50. She reports she hasn't slept in 48 hours. Racing thoughts. Worsening anxiety. 20 October. She reports heart palpitations and says her mental health is getting worse. They take her off the Zoloft and prescribe Ativan and Benadryl. 16 November. She goes to the ER with insomnia, anxiety and heart palpitations. She's sent home with trazodone. 20 November. Her mother in law rings a perinatal behavioural health programme. Lindsay tells them she's "very frustrated, scared" with extreme insomnia and racing thoughts. They prescribe Prozac. 24 November. She reports the Prozac is making her insomnia worse. So they add Ambien, Remeron and Klonopin. Three more on top. The very next day she tells the practitioner she's unable to determine what's real. Disoriented. Forgetful. Confused. Disconnected. Nobody stops. 28 November. She's getting three hours of sleep. Disoriented and scared. They prescribe Seroquel. Her husband testified last week that this is where "her big spiral started". 2 December. She reports she's suicidal and hearing things. Three days later she rings a crisis hotline asking to be admitted. She's told she doesn't meet the criteria. 6 December. She and Patrick go back to the practitioner together. He tells them she's far worse since starting the Seroquel. They increase the dose. 20 December. Back to the ER, suicidal. The next day she admits herself into a programme and is removed, because the doctor says she's just overmedicated and doesn't have a mental health issue. She admits herself to a different hospital. She's discharged with trazodone. 10 January. A psychiatrist prescribes Valium, then amitriptyline. On 24 January she reported hearing a male voice say: "This is your last chance. Kill the children so you can kill yourself." Her kids were 5, 3 and 8 months. 13 psychiatric drugs in four months. She reported it was getting worse at every single stage and every single time the answer was another drug. Not one person in that chain asked whether the treatment had become the illness. This was not a mysterious psychiatric event appearing out of nowhere. It was a progressive collapse of brain function under postpartum stress, extreme insomnia, autonomic overdrive and relentless pharmacological interference. The warning signs were explicit: racing thoughts, palpitations, worsening anxiety, disorientation, derealisation, suicidality and hallucinations. Yet every sign of deterioration was interpreted as a reason to add, switch or increase another drug. Psychiatry cannot keep pretending that SSRIs, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, sedating antidepressants and hypnotics are inert tools with no capacity to induce activation, akathisia, paradoxical reactions, delirium, withdrawal states or psychosis. These outcomes are documented, and this is not the first case in which severe behavioural disintegration followed escalating psychiatric polypharmacy. The most disturbing fact is not that one clinician made one mistake but that an entire system repeatedly watched her lose contact with reality and still treated the worsening condition as proof that she needed more chemical suppression. At some point, the treatment became part of the disease. The establishment does not want that sentence said out loud, which is exactly why it needs to be said louder.
