In 2022 (latest data available), UK households wasted 6 million tonnes of food — that’s £17 billion at 2022 prices! We at @_OptimaListApp_ believe planning is part of the cure. Let’s waste less & spend less 👉 https://t.co/Pc45GBNcpy #FoodWaste

Since the opposite of interior is exterior, wouldn't you expect the opposite of increment to be excrement? Turns out it isn't!
I have a feeling I may have posted this here before. But this time I have written a blog post about it!

@DanCrossy @aishahcodes Dan’s advice is gold. Motivation needs to come from within. And having a goal that means something to you can drive that motivation. Even if you hire a PT you will still need to decide on your goal because they can’t do that for you.

@jennyardrey Good work 💪

Some mantras for political thinking:

Truth is hard.

Humility is hard.

Independent thinking is hard.

Resisting tribalism is hard.

Over and over, you will forget that these things are hard, and that's probably when you'll fail at them.

Really enjoying #AdventOfCode2021 again this year. Day 8 was my favourite so far. Here's my solution for day 8, part 2. It could no doubt be made more succint/efficient but I'm pleased with it. #JavaScript
