Stuck on plane that should have arrived 1hr40 ago, but diverted to another city due to bad weather. Not allowed to leave the plane. Not allowed tap water. Not allowed to open the cabinet to sell water. Breastfeeding mother & children on board. @Ryanair let your staff sell water!

A hotel agrees to give a refund for one night - we just have to go to @bookingcom to get the refund. Why are all of our correspondence messages deleted? Why is no one arranging this refund? Months and months we are waiting, and all our message history is wiped?

@wahajmb Professional institutions and societies have some - I don't know your field to make specific suggestions...in Engineering, for example, @IETawards have a travel scholarship which funds PhD students travelling for conferences and fieldwork.

To try making one: you need some solid pieces (e.g. bamboo) and some wire. Simplest example is 3 pieces, which you can connect with the wire being slack, then tighten each wire up bit by bit until they're all in tension but the bamboo pieces don't touch. Roughly done example:

This is a beautiful thread that speaks a lot to me. For the father that moved to give his family a better life, who didn't have a father of his own, who doesn't say much but shows through his actions how much he loves us. Happy Father's day to one gave his daughters the world ♥️

Happy Father's Day to the immigrant Papas who moved across the world to plant roots in an unknown land. The ones who didn't have a roadmap and are trying their best. The ones who never looked back in order to create a life where we can intentionally make choices they never had.

Does anyone need a wise fixer for their team for 3 months? eg Someone who'll just slot into an Ops role in your team with min fuss and max intelligence. I have a good friend who could do with the work right now to support their family who I would heartily recommend.
