The old ‘give the public the best available information in the best way you can’ ploy. It’ll never catch on.

I thought this was going to be about some novel programming techniques used to squeeze performance from the Switch :)

The one I haven’t seen mentioned, but I would expect to be affeceted are universities. Lots of concrete blocks going up in the late 60s

In what way is it racist? Is there a particular ethnicity which is commonly depicted as Winnie the Poo?

The dog then walked down the hall to see Bob Shumaker, whose room he enters in the middle of the night to wake the sleeping 84-year-old by pressing his wet snout against Shumaker’s sleeping face

Ummm. No thanks

What I don’t understand is why Lidl just didn’t buy the domain for £20 and put something innocuous up. Surely cheaper than a recall

Fair point.

But in this situation, it wasn’t the managers who were challenged, in particular. From what I can see A group of doctors put in a complaint about Letby. Letby then played the system by putting in a bullying complaint that the system then had to investigate.

I have no doubt that these managers were incompetent and defensive - I suspect heads should roll. But the headline charge of ‘bullying’ seems a bit off. It’s a weird story and I’m looking forward to the results of the enquiry

What’s the problem with buying on the app store?

I’m married to a doctor, who subsequently went into NHS management. My impression of NHS management (and I’ve worked in both private and public sector) is that the default position is to bend over backwards to do the right thing.

Because the federal system is supposed to work to provide joint support for states in extraordinary need - and example of government doing what it is meant to to do in a order fashion, irrespective of political considerations is a good reminder of why it is worth voting in a functional government

There are 156 settings in England with confirmed RAAC, according to DfE data. Of those, 52 already had safety mitigations in place, and 104 were being contacted this week about getting them in place.

I think you’re probably OK

Tower Hamlet’s transport and green policies really are an embarrassment.

Come and join us on kbin - I can’t see any pinned post ;)

And a new Public Beta too. Just installing

who are the only ones with the power to actually do anything

That’s absolutely not the case. Every day people have the power to stand up for it in conversations over the kitchen table, at work and in the community

The museum doesn’t use the word stolen

The museum believes it acted in good faith but now understands that the individual who “sold” it to Barbeau did so “without the cultural, spiritual, or political authority to do so on behalf of the Nisga’a Nation”.

The BBC is very careful about using scare quotes where there isn’t absolutely consensus on language

I was just pointing out that ‘you can outbid anyone’ doesn’t really work in practice- particularly when many people in the uk are living paycheque to paycheque
