Is it typical for a CEO to be part-time?

And does anyone have a good lawyer they can recommend? Not sure what it comes under, but it involves a govt scheme, incompetence, fraud and a prolonged and deliberately obstructive complaints process.

@gentillapin @EdzardErnst I tried to change the subject. I stayed calm. I was polite. Then I left. I have no time for drunken aggression, from anyone. It really shook me up.

@EdzardErnst I was shouted at by a (drunk) woman earlier this afternoon for being 'narrow-minded' re homeopathy. I tried to explain why it's nonsense; reasoning. As she repeatedly interrupted me I realised that it was futile and I left the room. How do you deal with these types?

@ScotRamsay Blimey, wouldn't want the tyre pressure to be even slightly high.

Dear Bumpkins, if you insist on driving enormous 4WD vehicles could you at least try to learn how wide they are?*

Also, don't barge smaller cars onto the verge/passing space. You have 4WD. Use it.

*clue, not as big as an effing tank.

B.C. made prescription contraception free in 2023, and UBC researchers show patient costs dropped 83% within two years. Young adults saw the biggest gains.

I called it. I opined the teenage r@pists would have a history of offending against girls. No one starts with r@pe. Just days before the r@pe, Hampshire Police were called - two of the boys assaulted two girls. One put his hands around the neck of a girl, the other put his hand up her skirt. One of the boys, who was 10 at the time, cornered a girl using his bike and said sexualized things to her. There’s more…one boy killed a duck, they’ve destroyed property and threatened people. This is likely just the tip of the iceberg. WATCH the video. Shout out to Sophie Wilkinson stellar reporting. Take action now:

@Hopkins_Alison @speakoutsister Many GPs are not trained re PCOS/PMOS or endometriosis, despite them both being very common. The av. diagnosis delay is 7-10 years. And the prevalence is higher than type 1 diabetes. The former carries serious long term health risks and they both cause severe QoL issues.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@Hopkins_Alison @speakoutsister I was referred to a nurse led women's health clinic by my GP (eventually) and they diagnosed endo. I think it would be useful to have drop in centres following the model of GUM clinics.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@Hopkins_Alison @speakoutsister Breast cancer screening exists as a separate service. Surely having specialist nurses leading a women's health clinic would reduce the byrden on GPs (in my experience they were clueless about PMOS and endo and meno and finding suitable hormones to fit all of that was a challenge)

@indoors_remain La Adenot is a joy

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain Ooh. Useful. Thank you.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain @Rab_Dickson1 I had 'Hindu' friends who got funny looks on the tube if carrying a rucksack. (As in parents Hindu, they don't really observe religion except for marriage). That made me cross/sad. Shows how ignorant some people are.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@Hopkins_Alison @speakoutsister I think we should have women's health centres, led by specialist nurses with a gynae available. Given the low, slow diagnosis for PMOS and endometriosis (both affect >10% f) these would be helpful. Plus for birth control and menopause. Think how many GP appts could be freed up?

For some reason I thought it was akin to a trebuchet

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

I had the audacity to venture outside to move somethomg in my tiny garden. My delightful neighbours cranked up their MOR muzak. I know it was deliberate. I can't prove it though.

@Fynnderella1 He cut them both off. What's he hopping on?

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

Anyone told SBC yet? Maybe he will climb off his pedestal.

[Stray Autistic Cat @obrerx]

Recent study shows male:female autism rates nearly equal:

- Everyone thought autism mostly affected boys. This study says otherwise
- Autism may affect girls just as often as boys—it just takes longer to be recognized.
