Still sharing awesome stuff I find every day on @TutorGroupThink

Interesting stuff for you to share with your tutor group or other classes.

Share wide and make the (excessive) I spend on the internet worthwhile.

@MAKE2105 This adds a week to the previous all the way down. Then select the lot, copy and paste values to replace the equation so you an sort and filter etc.

As requested, I've updated the planner with 22/23 dates on.

Enjoy!

@MAKE2105 Hi, always warms my dark cold soul to hear this helps people!

I've changed for this years dates, but basically I type the date in each of the rows for the first week, then type "=", click the first date, then type "+7", then drag that all the way down.

The best speech of all time!

34 years ago Voyager 1 turned its cameras back to Earth as it was leaving the solar system forever. That picture remains the most distant of Earth ever taken. In it the Earth is just a Pale Blue Dot. Show your tutees this incredible picture.

@thefish64 Ask them to pay it, then change provider https://t.co/2YFRtBxYhs

Love tomorrow’s TGT. Did you know Kenya recently gave everyone a new national holiday and asked them to plant trees during it? I think that’s an amazing idea.

@rjpritchard @agittner What if they accidentally eat a spring, or a tennis ball Bob?

@AhmedKhattabUK Leeds mate. Weather is miles better.

@eddedmondson This is true of most rating systems now.
Etsy sellers need to average 4.9/5
Uber drivers start getting hassled at 4.8/5

It’s nonsense. Red/amber/green would be far fairer and more transparent.

No offence, but your -10 to 10 idea is bad. What’s the difference between 7 and 8?

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@MBDscience Yup.
Late stage capitalism decided than any spare capacity is wasted profit.
Optimisation has gone too far. Good podcast on the Long Now about it yesterday.

@ygbjammy Vile.

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@EmathsUK @bennewmark It's growing.

But I'll take quiet over "constant hatred being shoved in my face by the new vile owner".

🤷🏻‍♂️

@DrWilkinsonSci Well the replies to this are a nice piece of evidence next time someone asks "So come on Chris, has Twitter really got that bad? It's just a name change."

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@EmathsUK @bennewmark So the solution to Musk trying to aggressively ruin this website is to spend time, on a regular basis, aggresively curating.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to stick to Threads!

Every time I've dropped in here over the last few weeks it's somehow worse.

@atabhafc @PaulCaden1 Ha that's hilarious

Well said, Paul👏👏👏

Crumpets are absolutely superb.

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@edwardjtaylor @JamesHarrisNow Or, maybe that's what motorways are supposed to be like, and we've just forgotten what a bit of capacity and smooth flow looks like?

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@MrKhairi_ Pretty much, especially in a school.
At 9am you aren't about to get a dozen chunky emails, because (nearly) everyone is teaching.

In a delayed recieve culture you might be about to get a deluge.

Getting an email when you've just had the time you'd want to work on it is awful.

[Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 @mrbakerphysics]

@MrKhairi_ Is it really empty, or is delayed receive (as it should be called) about to dump a load in there?

In a delayed recieve heavy culture you never really know what the true state of your inbox is.
