@dajb Have to agree with you, there's nothing like the prospect of diabetes, stroke or being rushed to hospital with a suspected cardiac incident to add a little excitement to an otherwise dull existence. 😜

@dajb In the interest of balance, perhaps there should be similar services indicating nearest water refill points, salad bars and ideal picnic spots. 😇

It's rare I'll finish an unabridged audiobook and really wasn't expecting to enjoy this, (not a fan of #BillGates) but found it informative and insightful and stuck with it to the end. #Neurodiversity #STEM #ComputingHistory

@Extelec Could it also be adapted to heat up bath water that has gotten too cold? ie. Engage 'safe mode' for those extra long bath soaking sessions. 🤔

@huffeec Although, if you turn it over while there's pencils in the pot, you'll see another effect! 🤣

@coprolite9000 Can you share the project files, so I can try your volcano game?

Looking forward to this evening's #FameLab NW regional final at the home of the Manchester Baby.

@Moosical My gosh! Looks amazing!

@dajb Looks like they were live testing an improved version 😜

@Moosical Wow! An amazing response from schools. I've been busy with schools too, 3 this week, 2 next. We should try and catch up in a few weeks.

@Moosical No recent posts! Let us know what you've been up to.

It's a good night to spot the International Space Station, 6.32pm look West. Skies in Northern England looking clear.

The moon looks amazing right now, North of the UK. A sharp white crescent 🌙 with a very bright Venus sitting next to it.

However, if you've ever seen a giant toe nail clipping under a torch you might not be as impressed.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

If you know, you know. 🇮🇪
