Kudos to the train driver who kept us informed as well as he could, even as eventually the power, lighting and PA went out. Also a big thanks to all #tfl and #networkrail staff who helped with the evacuation!

[Frédérique Mittelstaedt @gfmio]

Also got stuck on the @HeathrowExpress tonight. Evacuation of the #heathrowexpress and #elizabethline trains is now in progress! #tfl

[Frédérique Mittelstaedt @gfmio]

@lpark12345 @HeathrowExpress Yes!

Right time for a PISA thread. I'm going to start by talking about what I think is the most important chart in the report and then make a few other points.

🧈 I made my own butter cake

200g of sugar €0.29
Vanilla extract €0.05
200g rising flour €0.158
4 eggs €0.87
200g butter €1.50
Oven energy €0.40
+=€3.72

This is 20 slices

Cafe here sells 1 buttercake slice for €4

So €80 - €3.72 = 96% profit margin

We can make €76 profit per cake

If we make 1000 cakes per month we can make €76,000/mo profit

What if we make 10,000 cakes

We're pivoting from AI to butter cakes

@iwontoffendyou This is a cute problem :)

The solution is r ≈ 0.21384.

Here's my approach:

I just think it is interesting that the lower end of the starting salary for an Associate Professor in Physics at Oxford is £51k, and the starting salary for an intro data science job is around £55k.

HOW TO RELIABLY STOP HICCUPS:
Hiccups = phrenic nerve-to-diaphragm
spasm. To de-spasm that circuit, inhale maximally (via your nose) 3 times with no exhales in between. Then hold your breath for 15-30 seconds & then slowly exhale (via your mouth). Done.

The famous "36 questions that lead to love"... don't. The NYT and everyone else reported a different set of questions from the same authors, modified to be less romantic! The original set of *40* questions wasn't online, but I emailed the authors and got a copy. Details in 🧵

My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization.
