@cpeedell @JuliaHB1 What was you reason for not having Boris Johnson on your list? Because if he was, he'd have been up there too.

@JuliaHB1 Agree. I can’t think of another person on earth who would have been more at risk of blackmail, bribery, and kompromat as Mandelson. (Except Trump, of course). A total national security debacle.

Just to be clear... Lord Mandelson, a proven liar, failed security vetting to be the UK's most senior diplomat trusted with vital state and security secrets - but no one at the Foreign Office bothered to tell the PM or anyone else at Number 10 about it. Do they seriously expect us to believe this claptrap? Just how dumb do they think we are?! The Prime Minister is either a liar or a fool. Either way, he has to resign.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr and his fans dredging up the same nonsense Such a tiresome waste of time

@DetroitC13531 @DrNeilStone "Nothing else makes sense". That's not how science works, especially as us humans are pretty shit at determining what "makes sense" and what doesn't.

@DrNeilStone Pretty sure vaccines causes autism in SOME children. Nothing else makes sense. Vaxes are no joke. Think of what they do?

@ioandtitan @Gr8Believer You gotta love that people hang on to ancient beliefs based entirely on deductions from extremely local observations, and make increasingly mind-twisting ways to try and fit those beliefs to later broader observations and calculations that prove something different.

@Gr8Believer This is exactly what you see on a tilted globe with an elliptical orbit. Just stating its impossible then moving on is cretin behaviour. This is evidence the Earth is tilted. If the sun was local its angular size would change as it moves away from the observer. It never does.

Today is 15th April when the Analemma does a cris-cross over where the Sun will be on the 1st September. This occurs every year on the same dates. 4½ months in the North but 7½ months in the South, impossible on a symmetric ball Earth.

I’m afraid @wesstreeting has forgotten what the “social contract” means. He thinks Drs get a good deal from #NHS. The opposite is the truth. Very few professions train for 15+yrs in order to practice fully independently. Our hourly rate is an unbelievable bargain for taxpayers

@16156208 @anishmoonka That's not how it works. The hoops Christians have to jump through to reconcile their faith with observation is impressive. I know, I used to do it. Don't forget that Judaism a few centuries BC didn't believe in resurrection. Jesus was jumping on a bandwagon 😄

Your body replaces 98% of its atoms every year. Within five years, every single one is swapped out. The you from 2021 is physically gone. Not "mostly gone." Gone. The atoms that used to be your face are now part of the air, the ocean, somebody else's lunch. Oak Ridge National Laboratory proved this in 1953. Your skin right now is about a month old. Your liver, six weeks. Your stomach lining regrows every five days. Your skeleton is completely different from ten years ago. A few atoms do stick around for life, buried in some brain cells, in parts of your heart, and in your tooth enamel. Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden tracked them using leftover radiation from 1950s nuclear bomb tests. The oldest surviving piece of "you" lives in your brain, your heart, and your teeth. Your brain is also erasing you. On purpose. A neuroscientist named Ron Davis at Scripps Research found that the brain has cells that release dopamine, the same chemical you feel after a good meal or a win, and use it to dissolve memories. When his team shut these cells off in test animals, they remembered twice as much. The chemical behind your best feelings is the same one shredding your past, and it never stops running. Ebbinghaus proved this back in 1885. You lose about half of everything you learn within one hour. A 2020 study from Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute had people live through a real experience and then checked how much they kept. At best, about a quarter. 75% of the details of your own life are being actively wiped by the organ that is supposed to be keeping track of it all. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Squeeze all of it into one calendar year, with the Big Bang on January 1st, and humans show up at 11:52 PM on New Year's Eve. Your whole life, every birthday and breakup and boring Tuesday, lasts 0.17 seconds on that calendar. Not even long enough to blink. Stars will keep burning for about a hundred trillion more years, then the fuel runs out and the lights go off everywhere. The last things left will be black holes, places where gravity is so strong not even light can escape. Even those slowly leak away over a number of years so large you would need a hundred zeros to write it. After the last one is gone, nothing is left. No light, no warmth, nothing bumping into anything else, ever again. The universe reaches total stillness and stays there. Forever. Brian Cox once described the window where life can even exist as one-thousandth of a billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth of a percent of the universe's total run time. You are in that window right now. Built from borrowed atoms, running on a brain shredding its own records, here for a fifth of a second on a cosmic calendar that ends in permanent silence. Anyway, hope your Tuesday is going alright.

@mpellatt @janrosenow They are noisier 40-60 dB + a constant drone and hum not just inefficient two of several reasons why UK parliament stopped the trials as no one could concentrate with all the noise. Oil fired are 30db upto 50 for large units far quieter no contract rattle or hum & more efficient

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
