@realDonaldTrump Really bad health care? According to @worldbankdata, the US spends 17.1% of its GDP on health, and the UK spends 9.1%. But our (the UK's) life expectancy is 81.3y, whereas it's only 78.7y in the US. So we spend less and get better results... so which system seems to work better?

@MrPointyHead @vroptician Fun fact - VR lenses also make for a fine set of prescription monocles in a pinch. Should you ever find yourself in the 1890s.

[Dan @CapnAverage]

@LonoSG Yes, you have every right to do so - you have a JD. Whether or not you choose to exercise that right is up to you. It’s not my place to demand that you shouldn’t. Much like how it’s not the place of others to demand someone with an EdD shouldn’t exercise their right to the title.

[Dan @CapnAverage]

I try NOT to wade in on things like this, but I'm too incensed by such displays of chauvinism. An EdD is equivalent to a PhD and, as such, holders are entitled to the appellation of 'Doctor'. Fun fact: doctor is an agentive noun of the Latin verb docēre, which means 'to teach'.

[Lono @LonoSG]

If Jill Biden insists on people calling her “doctor” then I insist on people calling me Galactus.

[Dan @CapnAverage]

HURR DURR. You still playing Tetris on those new consoles, @BRBtim? :P

[Tim Hibbs @BRBtim]

Oof! Money for both consoles and all their assorted bits and games all went through onto my credit card with a day of each other! Still a grand total that is possibly less than @CapnAverage has spent on a graphics card! 😜

[Dan @CapnAverage]

Wouldn’t this be utterly marvellous?

[Dan @CapnAverage]

Something wonderfully apt about Trump being on the golf course as this wonderful news broke.

Good on you, America. Stay safe and be good to one another.

[Dan @CapnAverage]

Well. Good to see that @NVIDIAGeForce didn't upstage @PlayStation with stock availability! #GeforceRTX3080 #RTX3080 #PS5

@TheLastLeg #IsItOK That @adamhillscomedy and Sir Keir Starmer have never been seen in the same room?

[Dan @CapnAverage]

Day 2 of #ExtraLife 2019 beckons for myself and @Krelith. Come say hi at https://t.co/WKMXBv67DA and check out my fundraising page at https://t.co/DdHzpYqLA7

[Dan @CapnAverage]

@SteveJones Just catching up on the F1 - hope the gut rot is settling down!

[Dan @CapnAverage]

This was funny until I realised that I popped up on this (self-declared) twat’s page by virtue of being similar to them... Clearly need to work on my personal SEO!

[Dan @CapnAverage]

One of the true gents of YouTube - make sure to tune into the race on 12th/13th Oct and donate to @JimmyBroadbent if you can! #MindCharity #ShedDweller

[Jimmy Broadbent @JimmyBroadbent]

So...here we go.

On the 12th/13 of October i'll be holding a 24 hour endurance charity race to benefit @MindCharity. I'll be racing in memory of my dad, who sadly lost his fight with depression when I was 13 years old.

Let's make a difference.

@TheLastLeg Surely it’s got to be ‘Article 50p’, right? #BrexitCoin

I think it was Albert Einstein who said: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. #Brexit #Shambles
