People who leave their dogs locked alone in an apartment all day should be forced to carry a walky talky playing the sounds of their dogs howling, barking, and screaming all day while they're gone
If I read one more post or boosted "report" referring to "UK" or "British" rivers flowing with untreated shite thanks to the corruption and criminal incompetence of "British" water companies I'm going to get very scunnered.
IT'S ENGLISH RIVERS FULL OF ENGLISH SHITE.
IT'S PRIVATISED ENGLISH WATER COMPANIES OPERATING IN ENGLAND.
Yes, but some rivers such as the river Wye cross borders, so the why goes from England to Wales,l so if hte outflow is in England flows in to Wales, does the Wye then become a welsh river (on the Welsh side of the border). So in which case it becomes a British river.
I do see your point, however it would be interesting how this works cross border as described.

Looks like the old British stiff upper lip and desire to carry on regardless is alive and well in Gaza, it was partly this that saw the Brits through the dark times of early world war 2, when we stood alone
His words also resulted in the Jan 6 attempted insurrection, what worries me is the innocent people who get caught up, his supporters hardly care if they kill or injure people.
#GE2024 What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry. #UKPolitics
EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.
The problem that I see is that change takes time to take effect,. Education for example takes a long time before we see results and those results are usually benchmarked with exam grades. Early years is key to a childs education outcomes much later (e.g GCSEs at 16) so any changes won't take effect or be seen immediately
Gettting more medical professionals means we need to perhaps invest in STEM in primary, secondary and at higher levels, so thoses who are interested can be taught to a high level with fully resourced classrooms / labs etc. But that could be a 20 year plan if you take in to account a doctor needs to do graducate, then post graduate study (even if going the apprentice route still takes a long time).
In 5 years time, if people have not seen immediate change they will say LabM our have failed even if they have succeeded in laying a foundation for the future.
Perhaps the Tories are right in that we need to get rid of so called Mickey Mouse courses and focus university on acaemic topics such as STEM or it is STEAM as the A is arts. I fail to see a benefit in a degree in the Beatles or Taylor Swift for yexample.
We also need to teach critical thinking at all levels, good reserch skills, yes embrace AI but in a beneficial way. If a student can't write without the use of AI to write it for them, we have failed them. AI is a tool to help, not a tool to replace you doing the work.
I just hope who ever gets in is not the Tories and can, as you said make bold decisions and be honest about the time scale they need to say this is going to be a 10-15 year plan, we hope to carry on in 5 years and how we perform over 5 will determine the long term outcomes.
"Typical of #dementia patients, he repeats himself and overuses superlatives and filler words," Gartner said. "Based on his current accelerating rate of decline, it seems very unlikely that #Trump could see out a second term without falling off the cliff and becoming totally incapacitated."
My local american football team went to a pride event last year. Great day, weather was great too and lots of people there having a really good time. Didn't pick up any new players but we did make some useful contacts.l These events are great and fun for everyone.
Wondering if anyone's interested in #FLOSS for older systems like #DOS and #FreeDOS? I really liked the #XFDOS distribution based on #FLTK and #nano-x with FreeDOS. I know the lead developer of XFDOS is no longer active, but it would be nice to see some development continue on this project. Is anyone else besides me interested in this sort of thing?
