Materials engineer now pretending to be a chemist, wide range of interests from metallurgy to photovoltaics PhD'ing at @UniOfBath with @cdtpv in #Chemistry

Sunak
Johnson

Have ALL overseen significant increases in NHS waiting lists.

When will some people realise that the Conservatives could not care less about your health?

@mac_puck You are completely disregarding activities and removing agency from papers like the DM, Sun, Telegraph, as well as Brexiteers and UKIP to say the least, not everyone reads/watches BBC news and articles, and Euroscepticism pre dates the BBC's austerity by decades anyhow

@LaurenLloris Mostly confusion, why did it take this long? (and why did nobody tell me about it beforehand?!)

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

Happy New Year!

@InvisiblesMuros One problem, if 'experts' are able to speak the language/live in the country, their views may be balanced and non clickbaity, what will news networks/talkshows do then? Present actual news?!

@JDaviesPhD Find one good thing in that day before I got home, anything counted really, and build up from there

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@ZJAyres This is the point where, instead of admitting a mistake, I would reluctantly find out the process for legally changing your name
Or just hope the person you were emailing is a DC fan (which is, admittedly, cheaper but far less cool)

@Dinosaur_112 @PhDfriendSana @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @workingbnb Check is how easy is it to travel, in the UK you can take only a weekend and get to Ireland/Netherlands etc. which is really useful to give you a mini-break from the PhD, unless you are looking to go into academia, focus more on the social aspect, it will be needed

@bookishseawitch I think the scouring takes away from the movie-like 'heroes save the day' theme, the strength of the scouring scene would be lost on film if you couldn't dedicate significant time to it, and RotK was a behemoth already

@BoyBlue_Orig @233_k6 @jdsparks85 @fesshole Shops are covered in CCTV, so unless he takes a vulnerable woman to a secluded place (alarm bells anyone?) to talk, then there will be CCTV at least, if not bodycam footage, and evidence that can get the officer terminated or cautioned depending

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@jdsparks85 @BoyBlue_Orig @233_k6 @fesshole If the shop manager sees the CCTV, they can legitimately request why the police officer did not arrest or caution the shoplifter, then it becomes a case of the police officer actively letting a theft take place, rather than having deniability

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@BoyBlue_Orig @233_k6 @jdsparks85 @fesshole Have you heard of security cameras? Or body cameras? These are magical devices that sadly do record, and asking to delete that information escalates things to a much higher level

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@RachelMorganPhD The worst thing is if UK govt actually taxed Amazon/meta/alphabet alone properly, that would pay for all the funeral plus 2 hospitals per year at least (but without staff)
It could have been 'paid for' without taxpayers money easily, but wasn't

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@arvoparty Technically the 'general public' has NEVER voted for the PM, we vote for local MPs and they choose the party leader out of their own number

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@LinuxHandbook Partition?? What's that? (99% of people that don't regularly use Linux/dont have CS degree)
The big question is why would joe public spend time learning about Linux if he only uses excel/chrome/word for his day to day job?

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@hansmollman That's unbeelievable

I'll leave now...

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

@BeckettUnite As is Starbucks/Amazon/Microsoft/Meta paying a pittance in taxes that our democratically elected MPs let them get away with year after year
Not taking away from your point, but people seem to forget that and just complain about monarchy

[Matthew Pilot @MattPilot3]

Can confirm, one Elizabeth Line is definitely faster than the other
