@londonHenryGB It took 100k years to cool 5-6 degrees during the last ice age, then 10k years for 5-6 degrees of warming on the exit.

Today we’ve had an average ~1.3 degrees of warming in 150 years, coinciding exactly with increases in greenhouse gas emissions over that time.

Yet another example of “We don’t want your electric car. We want your car, electric.” 🤢

@sweatystartup Those aren’t the only ways to get Hep B, and there’s another good reason for giving the vaccine to babies - infants are at highest risk of chronic Hep B infections.

On aluminium, the amounts are negligible. They get more from food in the first few months than the vaccine.

@erayajk @mattpocockuk I felt exactly this way at first, but over time I’ve found the ADRs benefits compound and allow the LLM to quickly see how best to architect a solutions based on previous decisions made together with the developer.

@yiningkarlli I have a 3 year old and it’s her favourite thing ever. She dresses up as Moana several times a week, makes boats out of our sofas, and knows all the songs. Thanks for sticking the landing!

@techtoby__ How do you figure that?

[Mike Carter @mcarterj]

Afraid to use anything from npm or any other package manager at the moment, and I’m honestly not sure what to do about this as a developer. How can anything be trusted right now?

@robj3d3 @AnthropicAI I love that “elevated errors” always means completely non-functional.

@thekitze When you get the slide jump flow just right 👌😎

@MordodeMaru The thread is explicitly about how it’s *not* the same across Europe 😂

[Mike Carter @mcarterj]

@charlesarthur Sky News Australia is much further right than UK, but I googled and it turns out they’re actually owned by completely separate organisations.

@thekitze The smartest Cursor in the galaxy. 😂

@londonHenryGB Also it’s not necessarily an indication of economic decline. It might just be indicative of an increase in consumer purchasing power, or the shift towards a services based economy.

[Mike Carter @mcarterj]

@londonHenryGB The trade balance measures the difference between exports and imports, not the total volume of trade. A negative balance just means the UK was buying more from abroad than it was selling after that point.

@thekitze Serious answer - lots. There are cities, businesses, towns, villages, countryside etc. Lots of remote workers in tech jobs. Same as many other countries.

It’s less densely populated than London, and there’s less money in general, but there’s lots to see and do.

[Mike Carter @mcarterj]

@thekitze @MattACrawford The countryside, especially in the North of England, Wales and Scotland is pretty spectacular.
