Coming this fall to a cinema near you.... SLB: Origins.

I'm thinking Benedict Cumberbatch to play Neil in the film adaptation?

@leoxical @ebefl The sample doesn’t inspire confidence, I must say. Looks like it hasn’t even been edited.

@SeanHutchman @neil_mcm I had a similar situation a couple years ago. Found the fastest way was combining this with keyboard shortcuts. Alt+tab gets you to a blank google doc, type code for pre-saved comment. Ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy, alt+tab back to main doc, ctrl+v to paste in comments.

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

In light of the government's plans to take "full control" of the British border through a points-based system that requires that applicants can "speak English" it's worth sharing this again (open access): "Language Testing in the Hostile Environment" https://t.co/afMlEviLw4
