Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

That there are people on Earth who idolise Elon Musk is beyond understanding. Indeed, Musk has become a handy barometer of morality, or rather immorality. Where someone stands on Musk is an almost instant guide to the rest of their beliefs and their character My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

Even if Elon Musk wasn’t Elon Musk, even if Elon Musk was a good and noble man, even if Elon Musk was a planetary exemplar of decency and…

Call me an idealist, but I think that a prerequisite for hosting an international sport event should be that you're willing to host an international sport event.

FIFA has now confirmed that Artan will no longer be able to officiate at the World Cup, which like for players, is the biggest moment in the lives of referees. FIFA has said it is nothing to do with them, but a decision made by US authorities and that the decision is not likely to be changed.

🔴NEW: A group leading the push to overturn Scotland’s opposition to new nuclear power says it is “independent” and “grassroots”. But we found links between campaign and a lobbying firm representing EDF, which owns Torness nuclear station www.theferret.scot/britain-rema...

This pro-nuclear group claims to be 'grassroots'. So why are its directors industry lobbyists?

Britain Remade has appointed two directors from a lobbying firm which represents EDF, the owner of Scotland’s last nuclear power station.

And so if you really *mean* "never again" -- if you're serious about it -- then the time to intervene, the time to speak up, the time to stop it, is *when it is still small*. When it's just a casual slur. When it's just sports. When it's just asking questions. When it's framed as anti-PC.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

AI posters for theatre productions really put me off. Get your five year old to make a poster, I'll be there. Make it reflect the Art and Creativity and Love of the play. Don't just push that button

This is a really useful read... It doesn't solve anything itself, but it helps provide understanding - and without that, we can't even start to solve the issue of GPs, appointments and best use of limited funds.

“Why can’t I get a GP appointment?” has become a national refrain. Our latest De-noiser looks at the data behind the 8am scramble – and asks whether new funding and walk-in clinics will change anything https://www.theferret.scot/why-cant-i-get-an-appointment-with-my-gp/
