But. But. But. The plan is working … was this the plan? To make the poor poorer …. I guess it was.
A record 3.1 million emergency food parcels have been handed out in just a year, according to The Trussell Trust. Chief exec of the charity, Emma Revie, says people are "not receiving enough income" to cover food costs. trib.al/zDGd6LO 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, YouTube

With my Apple Watch over last year and a bit I’ve tracked calorie intake every day and combined it with BMR and Active energy, to compare against weight loss. (1/2)

My actual weight loss has not matched expected. Having done some scripting magic to work this out, the best match is if I underestimated calories by 10% and Apple overestimates Active energy (for me at least) by 20%.

Joining my first iOS conf of the year. Online for this one. Looking forward to the next two days with #SwiftHeroes24

Great to be back at @monzo again! A massive thank you to the team for hosting our 2024.2 event where we had @qnoid giving an incredibly insightful tour through debugging an issue while working with closed source code, and @Mo_Eryan on how spatial apps have changed over the years!

Sad to hear how @VirginActiveUK isn’t willing to pay for a full music license :( I see there’s a petition chng.it/TvBTfTwr.

If these rarely rates, I don’t understand how the costs can’t be covered? pplprs.co.uk/wp-content/uplo…

Ways Brits say “please leave my house now” - “Anyway, don’t let me keep you” - “I'll let you get on” - “Right” <slap their own thigh> - “Gosh, is that the time?” - “It’s so dark now” - “What time’s your train?” - “Well it’s been lovely to see you” - “What are you doing for the rest of the day?” - “Did you want another cup of tea?” - “I should imagine you want to beat the traffic” - “I don’t like the thought of you driving in the dark” - “What are you having for dinner?” - “I can’t remember, did you bring a coat?” - “Do you want a hand putting things in the car?” - Simply yawning and looking like they want to die
