My replacement @garminuk Forerunner has arrived (previous one's strap thingy snapped) - the no-nonsense replacement approach is really good. I'll continue 100% to recommend Garmin to any of my friends in the market for this kind of thing.

If you're doing #AdventOfCode and learning stuff, but your code's a mess, you got the wrong answer, you're a few days behind, it took you several hours, you're in a language you're not familiar with...
All I hear is that you're learning stuff. You're doing great!! πβ€οΈππ§βπ

I couldn't figure out where the comma(s) in "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" should go, so I hit myself in the face.

This commentary could be broadened to include many other examples. Fundamentally, politicians playing by "old" democratic rules can't understand, let alone negotiate with, politicians who constantly lie, and play games to get attention. They are living in different realities.
"Johnson is someone who lies all the time. Lies are ontological, elemental, essential for him"

The Health & Care Bill is back in the Commons tmrw.
It divides the NHS into 42 areas led by Integrated Care Boards which - incredibly - private companies will be allowed to sit on.
I believe private companies should *never* get a say in how the NHS is run.
Pls RT if you do too
