Two of the examples of injuries sustained by workers given in the article sound like a lack of awareness of one’s personal safety was a major contributing factor in the accidents… Specifically, sitting on an unsecured load on a vehicle to h

I went pretty much the whole summer, including most of August in the south of France, using very small amounts of sunscreen, mostly on face and neck and mostly zinc oxide based. I spent June and July building up a tan gradually in my back g

You’re still not allowed to fly your sub-250g drone over private property in the UK. I did my basic CAA drone training a while back and was left somewhat unclear where you can fly, but very clear where you can’t. Typically prohibitively Br

The design flaw is industry wide. Unskilled theives are able to remove thousands of pounds worth of components from cars in minutes with simple tools. This is something the car industry needs to fix.

But they’re making the fix to their _current vehicles_ optional ! How can you interpret this as anything other than a design flaw ? They’re still selling vehicles that are vulnerable to having very valuable components removed with ease in

The state of bus services in York is pretty terrible. Traffic (journey times) is one reason, but frequency is the main problem. We’ve got these huge vehicles turning up at most very 45 minutes (even in rush hour) because, I’m guessing, th

If you have to shower every day (never WFH basically) then I highly recommend just using warm water and no soap or shampoo. Let your skin and hair’s natural oils stay where they are. You don’t need soap to wash off stale sweat and … other

I truly hope UK/European regulators do not allow the cybertruck on our roads. The front end looks specifically designed to do serious head injury to children. Does anyone know if it’s actually passed whatever regulation is required t

In the UK, drunk cycling is an offence with a maximum (but not usual) penalty of £2500, but you can’t be forced to take a blood alcohol level breath or urine test as a cyclist… so you’ll just get a charge of reckless cycling instead. Neith

There’s definitely a management problem, no doubt, but I’ve been in thriving teams before, despite poor management; we were all friends who shared the day in the same place together. I’m in total agreement that remote work needs good manage
