Biscuits was the league table decider when I was in the Advisory Service.
Supermarket own brand knockoffs, through to chocolate digestives/hobnobs and bourbons.
Best of all was the staffroom that knew a visitor was coming in and brought out the chocolate biscuit variety tin!

Come visit south Wales :) We need ALTc here next year! Though you're welcome any time!
I would say I'd send some with @samwisefox.bsky.social but Jasmin (going with Sam as she's local) will probably insist on Tunnocks instead.

This comment alone is enough to kill off any curiosity I may have had!

Having already seen some of the replies here, I am simply going to take your advice. I do not wish to have to bleach my eyeballs!

And weren't several of the others 'refer back to UK courts and do it right this time'?
In other words, simply telling UK Govt to abide by its own laws and its own judicial system?

You do realise she is a UK politician, right? This has nothing to do with US whatsoever!

I'm more the patient reporting the symptoms I feel. I'll have to leave more expert people to provide the actual diagnosis (populism/racism/xenophobia/media barons?) and certainly the treatment and remedy!

Because until 2016 we were an open community who welcomed people in to fill gaps created by an ageing population.
It takes a very long time to change a generational, economy wide, direction in the kind of job roles young people want - and that's beside the under-funding of education for even longer!

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject

Moodle is the most used learning management system world wide (by user numbers), but some of the commercial alternatives are bigger in the US :)

I work for a company that provides support for Moodle - and many of us are there totally because of the love of education, the Moodle community and being able to contribute back - almost all of us have come through that HE/FE support route in one way or another, and it really is a great job :)

Suspect that if the views expressed in that statement hold, then the royal society is going to see another round of resignations of people who do not wish to be associated by membership of an organisation which permits a member to actively bring it into disrepute.

I thought around a third of Americans didn't vote at all, so I assume you mean 35%/45% of those latinos/women *who voted* .... Otherwise those numbers would be even more scary than they already are!

Not sure that's correct

Farage dishes out lies and untruths, and cannot take it when someone speaks the truth about him. He doesn't and never has received the same as he dishes out - he gets treated much better than he treats others and STILL whines!

There's a very simple way not to be called a racist - Don't be racist!

a. 'Policing' toilets is not a positive in any manner
b. Anyone advocating taking photographs of anyone in a loo needs their hard drive checked!!

'AI' used in medical research isn't the same as the LLMs touted as AI.
LLMs have their uses and their strengths, but they are not AI

If you sit down for dinner with 2 nazis, there are three nazis at the table.
