@AutSciPerson I mean .. they're wrong for most people, but the opposite way for me. I need a taller desk.

The only time I really thought about this by the way was when I saw some home-improvement show customizing their kitchen counter height for little people. And then I realized that most kitchen counters are too tall for everyone by default as well (including me)!

Random rant: The default desk height for desks (which is 28-30") should be Significantly Lower!! Because most people are not tall enough to ergonomically work at a 30" height desk. I'm an average height and the "correct" height for me is 25". Make it make sense.

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth. Timelapse coming in a separate post. 1/6400 sec, f8, ISO 500

These stats, just released, are a national scandal. Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year. Yet @NHSEngland is letting only 4000 of them do so. Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs. Many replaced with PAs - madness.

@amandajp17 Yey, I'm pleased it is going so well for you. If you're visiting Leicestershire, DM me to try ours too

About this time last year a friend at work was talking about bell ringing and I said it sounded interesting. She talked me into starting it up. Today we got to ring together for the first time when her tower visited ours. A lovely experience.

I wish I could tell Mackenzie Crook how much Detectorists has meant to me in the months since my husband died it’s literally been my safe comfort blanket I love it so much - if you see this Mackenzie - THANK YOU ❤️

Damon Blakemore has done an excellent interview on heat pumps for the Telegraph here. Expert and honest advice from a skilled installer. Let’s have more of this and less of the misinformation which has been surrounding heat pumps over the past few years.

Lol. Bonkers notification from the @McDonaldsUK app today!! Not even today's test file!!

Please can you help and spread the word Our lovely Billy from DIY SOS had his car stolen a few days ago, with a rather obvious number plate. Can you RT and see if we can find it for him, as it’s made him awfully sad Thank you everyone

A real shame we have to post this, but unfortunately our crew have already struggled to attend two separate call outs, as well as a training exercise this morning, thanks to members of the public parking in reserved RNLI spots. 📟 Delays to our crew launching costs lives.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau. For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support. Staff are devastated. "We're protecting our community"

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

It wasn’t to be… but more importantly, if you are a victim of domestic abuse tonight, call the following number: 0808 2000 247

@TroyWhyte @shadylady222 Most state run schools are scheduled a typical 6 week summer break returning beginning of September, then 1 week in October, 2 weeks for Xmas, 1 week February, 2 weeks Easter, 1 week late May. There is some regional/ local variation.

@shadylady222 Greetings. How _long_ exactly is the English School year? To hear that a term is actually in session this far into summer is wild to an American. (Although in truth some local districts in the southern US will be returning for the fall term in a few weeks)

I felt miserable this morning and then some things happened 1) I walked past a drama classroom this morning and heard the teacher utter the phrase, ‘No Macbeth is not a musical’

@tkachockey @HRDutson My legs legitimately meet this description so now I am prepared in case anyone notices in France. Lol.

@HRDutson I personally can’t wait to use this when i visit france

I hear the press have got hold of some pictures and so I have been forced to make this statement. Needless to say, I apologise. shorturl.at/nENOY

@amandajp17 As a ringing teacher, let me assure you that as technique improves, over pulling reduces, and it all gets a lot easier. Congratulations on your new skill and welcome to the ringing community.

I’ve got shoulders that know I’ve been bell ringing four times this week. But practice makes perfect and I’m so pleased with myself now, with how I can do it. Learning a new skill as an adult is hard!

In 2015, Jeremy Hunt pledged there would be 5000 more GPs by 2020. The Conservatives then made a key election pledge in 2019, saying there would be 6000 more GPs by 2025. In April 2024, there were actually 1759 fewer fully qualified GPs than in September 2015 🚨🚨🚨
