If you program in any capacity, work or play, please tell me, do you ever use pseudocode to plan a program you are writing? (Don’t include using pseudocode to teach) 💻👩🏾‍💻

@MrOW_CS I have taken some y7s because they were doing a presentation, and lots of people do. Some stallholders totally ignored their existence and that was quite a good indication of whether I should be interested in their product!

Yesterday and today I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast. Big whoop, I know, but some years back I was told I had a nut allergy and given epipens. I was later tested again and I don’t, but it made me scared to eat nuts. 🥜

Curly hair update! Lacking in funds at the moment to try more expensive products, but I have had really good results from Aussie curls deep treatment and curl conditioner if that helps anyone 🙌👩🏻‍🦱

@MiniGirlGeek Argh I feel your pain. So frustrating to see the thick red line every time! Hope it bogs off soon.

Teachers pensions be like: You might get a free kitten, but that means we’ve rolled back your option for a free puppy. You can buy a lizard but only if you had 78 showers between April 2021 and March 2022. By the way, there’s a bear behind you and it’s on fire.

Does anyone else find the emails from teachers pensions completely lacking in context and indecipherable but also pretty stress inducing as there’s probably an action you should be taking if you could work out what it actually meant? 😅

@MolloyLaurence @ForrisHilier I think the problem with some bacteria is that you can kill the bacteria itself, but it produces spores which can endure boiling etc. and then once conditions become favourable again the spores reactivate and you’re in the 💩

@MolloyLaurence Indeed. A lot of the training I did was obvious common sense, but the specific bits about different types of bacteria were really interesting 🦠

@doismellburning I ended up reading this page - it’s wild! In 2013 ASOS ended up with a batch of belts studded with Cobalt-60 😳 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_c…

I’d really love it if people who are imminently about to die of illness in films could not *always* have cancer. It’s like walking downstairs and discovering a lion in your living room every f-ing time, and it really ruins the film for me. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
