Observations on the world and its inhabitants
As I was saying…people are stupid and lazy! This is in a doctor’s forum, so the balance of probability is that the person making the OP is a doctor. Most lay persons do not know of the PANSS and won’t be seeking it. It is a highly specialised instrument. Do I give flying banana flamingo ...
I pointed out my evidence for concern about the reading ability of ‘some’ UK doctors at 16/07/2024 in Reading ability of UK doctors could be stuck at UK Year 9. As ‘some’ will be aware, I like to have evidence – when I can find it – to support what am saying. And – I ...
Apparently – as I’ll be told – people must always work hard 9 to 5 to earn their food. Oh – but many are oblivious to people in managerial positions who have no fixed hours and who rake in tons of dosh. Some of those – the likes of Elon Musk – can decide their ...
Lots of people are content to refer to themselves as luddites when it comes to things technological. The main reason for that is the sense of camaraderie and support from equally dim people. How would I know? I’ve seen and experienced the phenomenon too many times over the last 20 years. Cognitive miserliness The underlying ...
This post is a bit of ‘steam release’ really. I kid you not, over the last 5 years or so I’ve been repeatedly coming across posts with questions such as ‘How do I…. ?‘ or ‘Where can I find….?‘ or ‘What is the evidence for …..?‘ or ‘Who is an expert on ….?‘ In The ...
From an online forum is the following. DB: Well done! What is a blaeberry?! CW – replying to DB: For those who don’t know howto – select word with mouse, right click, then click search option that appears. For those who don’t know how to select text: left click mouse, hold it down and move ...
For those who don’t like Sci-Fi, kindly move on NOW! I’m not giving time to grumbles. I began looking at older Sci-Fi films recently, as I’m fed up with modern Sci-Fi and other films that just lack an interesting story line. Passengers was one exception. The Matrix was a blockbuster movie that came out in ...
Well, as usual people don’t know what they don’t know and won’t take the time to explore – so they need to be told. On this occasion I’m sharing this simple timer thing that lives on Windows 10. Obviously, I can’t say nor do I have time to check if it exists on any other ...
A conversation yesterday 26th June 2021, got me thinking about this. By coincidence, I was in the process of weeding out junk-contacts from my contacts list. Someone – Person X – asked me for contact details for an accountant which I had passed to them a few months ago. Why? Because a) they can’t find ...
People believe that they’re living their own lives. I’ve come to think that they are not – for the most part. Life is about living the time between birth and death. What you do with that time is important. People find different purposes in life: Some want to contribute to society and so their time might ...
