Seen in the other place…

Amazingly my kids’ school doesn’t have a bulletproof strong room in the corner.

But that’s because the U.K. had 1 school shooting in 1996 then massively restricted gun ownership…

At what point is it more economical to build new hospitals than keep trying to patch up poor quality old buildings that aren’t energy efficient & aren’t best laid out for modern practices?

The data shows that the NHS estates maintenance backlog is eye-wateringly large. The really worrying thing, though, is that it only reveals part of the problem, says Charlotte Wickens.

To see surgical pictures, like the ones published in journals:
go to the WEBSITE bsky.app, then “settings”, then “moderation” and allow adult content. You can then select what you want to see.

This can’t be done in the app.

Looking at recent election results, there may be something to be said for the “strange women lying in ponds distributing swords” approach…

Rob Fleming @robjimfleming.bsky.social · Nov 27

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system! Come & see the violence inherent in the system!!

Practice your talk - lots! Make sure it fits the time slot. Get others to check your slides for legibility

Speak slowly & clearly & make “eye contact” with the audience

Relax - most talks at conferences don’t get many difficult Qs… try to enjoy it!

Battle chess was great. I recall we had a similar vintage Apple Mac LC475 - cost about £3k I think!
