The Man in Seat 61 @seatsixtyone

9 months ago

So I walk into the kitchen, see Master 61 and wish him "Good moaning" as I have on various occasions over the 18 years of his existence. Only today do I discover he has absolutely *no* idea why I say that. Kids today, eh?

I spent 45 minutes doing CPR on a neighbour this morning. Sadly, they didn't make it. And this tweet isn't about me or the neighbour - it's my regular encouragement to please, if it's not something you've done before, considering learning CPR 🧵 @GoodSamApp @Ldn_Ambulance

Corruption is a system of concentrated gains and diffused costs: cheaters make a lot of money, and their victims each lose a little. The cheater has a much larger pool of money to spend on keeping the scam going, and the victims need to pay *again* to fight the cheater. 1/

Fietsplain [feets-spleyn]: When someone who has never visited the Netherlands condescendingly tells a nation that collectively—and safely—cycles 18 billion kilometers each year they’re somehow doing it wrong. e.g. “That is irresponsible. Those people should be wearing helmets.”

Pointless geography fact: the #UK and #Australia both have a small island close to their shores. #Map shows #Ireland and #Tasmania are of similar size.

A thread with interesting links regarding the subject of hygiene in medieval Europe. Might be handy to have them all in one place. Yes folks, medieval people washed, bathed, used soap & cared about cleanliness. My general medieval myths article: fakehistoryhunter.net/2019/09/10/med…

Australians hug the coast and cluster in very few cities. Over two thirds of the population live in just five cities. A recipe for unnecessarily high house prices in such a large country. Source: buff.ly/47lLdVZ
