Just because they're not the WORST source of pollution, doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't try and improve where we can without it risking our health.

The NHS already concluded that aerosol inhalers make up a significant chunk of their CO2 production. In 2024 they launched a recycling scheme for them. They've also been moving away from single medication aerosols to combined treatment DPIs (direct powder inhalers).

FOSTAIR NEXThaler combined 'direct powder inhalation' inhaler containing beclometasone and formoterol. The case is bright pink and white and has a remaining doses counter on the side.

I switched to a combined DPI and it's much more effective than my previous blue (Ventolin) inhaler.

I'm in the UK and I can just take these to the solid plastic section of the household waste recyling centre. The NHS also have a recycling campaign for inhalers, including the blue and brown ones.

One thing that increased the use of inhalers was allowing mass Covid infection, which frequently makes asthma worse.

"Rachel Reeves unblocked a development of 20,000 homes that were being held up by a rare snail, after being approached by a developer with whom she said, 'we have a good relationship'

Not only stupid and ignorant, but crooked with it

Plunging Ukraine into darkness may not be so easy and it could be painful for Russia.

WSJ: Ukraine built a $140M network of US-designed batteries to keep the lights on under fire. 6 battery parks in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk store 200 MW—enough to power 600,000 homes for 2 hours

If you are modernising, why make the men's and women's different?

@profaliceroberts.bsky.social this is fantastic! I do a maths project at the end of year 7 all about dinosaurs. It includes dinosaur trackways and calculating height and speed from the size and spacing of dinosaur footprints.

I notice they frame this as putting blame on the vulnerable people trying to do the right thing and on the admin system, not on the government refusing to give the vaccine to many people who need it.

Do a better job?

You know absolutely nothing about me.

You're just plain rude.

I think you should give him a home for life. A very secure one.

1 to 2 Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth each day

"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

Which would have been great if that had been the beginning, but it doesn't seem to have led anywhere.

Swearing about Europe isn't going to help.

After the timeframe he is referencing. Try 1812.

Those were both after WWII, though, so not in the timeframe he was referencing.

'The 1812 War' was, in which the USA declared war on Britain, tried several times, unsuccessfully, to invade Canada, the British burnt down the White House and the USA had to give up on it and sign the Treaty of Ghent.

Presumably they wanted to ditch the name as the chain had got run down.

They'd have been better off keeping WHSmith and relaunching it with an advertising and media campaign about it being newly invigorated.

Instead they've gone with 'Primark for stationery'.

Tied in to his real name and multiple aliases.

Associating with men who are known abusers of women.

Surely they have run flats?

It looks like one of the cheap, temporary signs that popup outlets have in shopping malls in the run up to Christmas.

I don't need it, thank you.

I've seen plenty of examples where it has produced incoherent and/or contradictory tosh. I've seen little in the way of 'compelling sentences'.

"Don't forget to xyz by <date>."

Instant flurry of reply alls:

>I've done it
>I did mine last week
>I'm doing mine tonight
>I don't think that's on my direct time budget
>OK, but have you done <random thing> we talked about privately last week (that nobody else needs to know about)?
...

Started like this, followed by a series of screenshots of other people's comments.

Then got AI to summarise them.

Oh, fun! We can play spot the difference and see how often she directly contradicts what she said in this speech. Bonus points if she phrases it as an insult to 'anyone who says/ thinks x'.

@teachertapp.bsky.social

Yes, we can send 'all staff' emails.

We can't 'reply all' to an all staff email, though, so things can't get out of hand!
