There’s a very simple answer to this. Leave Facebook. (Actually I never joined. Phew)

That’s the whole idea. We are after all trying to save a planet by reducing emissions. The only planet we’ve got (in case you had forgotten).

I need a large (40kW perhaps), or multiple cascade, of closed loop water source HPs but cannot find any useful data or product info. So help here would be appreciated too.

If the cost of healthcare increases faster than the rate of gdp growth what do you do? Ultimately public funding of all healthcare it will fail.

Truth is inequality feels unfair but does create wealth. Everyone with equal capital means limited new inventions and investments. So low growth. 🤷‍♂️

I suppose I belong to a generation which didn’t expect every teacher to be evaluated in every course. As students, & as a lecturer, we all knew pretty quickly who was good and who wasn’t. My sadness is the loss of both civility and the triumph of the survey over what we know.

Pax vobiscum. Amen.

But I think you’re missing my point - or perhaps I didn’t express it clearly. Asking every student for an opinion doesn’t tell you as much as a few thoughtful conversations with a few thinkers. Conversations in a mixed M/F group mutes the sexism and the extreme views.

I can believe that. But person to person evaluation is really what I would want. Not all the students have the courage to say what they think but enough of them do to pick up the tenor of the conversation. The trouble w online assessment is you lose the moderation that comes from civil discourse.

Surely part of the problem is the drive to make everything online. A sit-down with a few students for a conversation between real humans might be much more useful. Online assessments of online courses aren’t teaching or assessing.

Please stop sending so much stuff. One or two pictures a week is fine. But this is ridiculous. I will have to block if you carry on - which would be a shame.
