I'm so old I remember watching Nadine Coyle's passport-gate on Saturday morning TV with NO PRIOR WARNING OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. Literal gobsmack moment.

@ltormey @utterlycontent Love that rose, thorn, bud analogy!

@tracyplayle ... teacher turned to the rest of us and said something along the lines of "kid sometimes has to take their time coming up with the answer, but he's the only one in this room who wouldn't have smacked their head off the ice"

@tracyplayle Not dyslexic but echoing the creative thinking superpower - I still remember one of the dyslexic kids in my 1st year class being the only one who could work out how to stop yourself skidding if you were slowing down on ice (you take lots of little steps rather than stop hard)...

You probably know if you grew up in an ingredients or non-ingredients household... But were you brought up on instant or delayed gratification? Example: slowly sucking and savouring chocolate to give lasting enjoyment... or scoffing hurriedly in one go for maximum sensory impact.

@tracyplayle Excellent read! The why is just as important as the how!

@iamnotniles I'm liking this because I know the context, but be aware that you're losing 10 clairepoints for poor accessibility...

.. and we wonder if this makes for a more precise collection of songs for either of us because of that...

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

Anyone know what algorithms @spotify uses to make Release Radar/Discover Weekly as personalised as possible? Any weighting given to whether you follow artists or add them to playlists or like their songs? Just I use and *rank" features, eg liked songs, differently to my partner..

@iamnotniles The regret i am feeling right now...

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@iamnotniles Are you meaning yourself?

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@iamnotniles Wow, i only thought you talked incessantly about buying them..

@kibilds @lizgross144 @tvparrot DON'T MENTION THE TOPPING DISASTER!

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@kibilds @lizgross144 @tvparrot It makes me wonder what kind of absolute catastrophe happened without the intensely marked-up instructions. Assuming something with the topping, but still...

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@neighfreyja This looks amazing!!!

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

Gosh, this is... pretty bloody inspiring...

@itPrill Going through the same thing just now. There's something so alien about being in her house without her there, it made me feel like a child again and like i was going into the posh lounge without permission...

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@ltormey Also, the other weird thing.. how many people sitting on a panel have been taught how to recruit effectively? In my experience no HR or guidelines around successful recruitment process..

[clairedundee @clairedundee_]

@ltormey This is so good! Job interview structure hasn't changed for decades and certainly doesn't account for the complexities of modern day work/workforce...
