@alexfmac I do pretty much that route for my commute on my bike and it takes an hour.

@runliftrunlift @pushpullrun You can get rid of the soreness by training more frequently (repeated bout effect) and doing the same exercises each time. It’s not really to do with how close you are to failure. If you do deadlifts 2x per week you will no longer get sore from deadlifts.

@C_Hendrick I used to go to soft play a lot when the kids were very young. The summer my youngest turned 2 I stopped going and haven’t been back since. This post made me realise I have some sort of soft play PTSD.

@DrDavidBoyce @Headteacherchat Which question was it? Can you send the link from the relevant BPhO paper?

@_VN5 @MetCC @roadcc @London_Cycling @HarrowCyclists I don’t see why either. But in the email that they send when they confirm a NIP it says that you should avoid interacting with the driver and avoid swearing. When submitting clips if I swear it rarely gets progressed to a NIP, so if I do I mute the clip when sending in.

@Chemistry_IB @Mr_Raichura Is there anything that makes humans unique, perhaps, and not like other animals?

@theInfraPM I not only don’t use the cycle lane on that road but also ride down the middle of the lane. It’s a flat 20mph road (easily achieved on bike) so anyone overtaking is speeding by default. In addition, it’s narrow so riding secondary encourages drivers to close pass you.

@ChaponaBike123 I actually just got some responses back today where they've given a new unique reference number but it says to expect no further updates. Presumably these are cases that are being progressed? The submissions in question were people phone driving and a v. close pass.

@peterrhague @34davidparsons I thought the stats were about 1 in 10 regret it, in the sense that if given a time machine they wouldn’t do it again? For me I wish I’d started sooner and had more, too.

@MrMoss01 I think suggesting that difficult exams damage students’ mental health to justify moving boards is an irresponsible reach.

Books are an extension of working memory; not a revision guide. 👍

During the Great Marking Era, exercise books became disproportionately valued as a record of teacher performance. With that era ending, we must radically evaluate the purpose of exercise books and what we expect to see in them. In our dept, what we expect to see from books is:
