He wasn't asking for general career advice though. Maybe you have saved him from making a big mistake. Helped make him better off financially.

it was something very similar, I remember it clearly. The young guy was asking about becoming a climber and you jumped in with saying he should become an engineer, plumber etc, or he will always be poor, or words to that effect. Everyone should become a financial trader, or computer scientist. No point grafting for a regular wage

“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,” Mr Trump told a journalist who asked him to clarify, repeatedly saying he had been sarcastic. He was clever enough to parlay his family money into a much bigger fortune, however, he should have known sometimes people can't detect sarcasm.

two books would do to start - Tree Climbers Companion - Jeff Jepson Trees - their use management cultivation and biology - Bob Watson. Normally you could buy a basic climbing kit after reading the Jeff Jepson book, and or watching something like the entire Climbing Arborist video collection on Youtube, then go into some woods, preferably with a mate, and have a go at setting a line over a fork and hauling yourself up into a tree. However even practising low and slow could still cause an accident. Not a good time to be getting air lifted to A&E. This practising alone in the woods was great fun for me though, in fact I think tree climbing can be a great recreational persuit, as well as exciting work.

these look ok from 3 years ago, selling for about 500 used on ebay, maybe worth a punt from a seller with good feedback a new version is around 1500. Only suggested this model as it has a tablet style interface too. Or go back to basics and get a Rasberry Pi

I was being a grammar Nazi, being petty as papers is plural, I thought you should have used are https://www.grammarly.com/blog/is-vs-are/ Your point about confirmation bias is valid, there is probably a raft of research on how often researchers search for material to back up their own work, particularly if they are up for funding

re above comment - even people with 'some' experience can get the Darwin award, don't underestimate the dangers of conny bashing https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/tree-surgeons-haunting-text-message-11618912 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5124261/Father-two-tree-surgeon-36-fell-death.html

actually that may be wrong, sorry! It just didn' sound right -are enough papers, is enough papers
-
can confirm it's are for plural

an interesting thing nowadays is preprint servers -scientific research, not all of it, but certain areas, people are publishing stuff before it has been reviewed. The preprints are bound to contain many errors, but the scale of what is being done and instantly transmitted globally is amazing - the server below currently has over 2000 articles on Covid-19. So anyone working on something similar can take a trawl through the server and see what other people are coming up with. Many of the new developments in the news the journalists are looking through these servers for a scoop https://connect.medrxiv.org/relate/content/181?page=1

This is the spur, I'm going to buy the Schultz effect and look at SRT seriously while I have a bit more time. these guys climbing tutorials also worth checking fortunately they haven't yet started using saws

Clearly the government help is working for businesses with PAYE staff. It was in the news the other day gov had just 'employed' over a million people through the furlough scheme, so their employers didnt have to lay them off. However, crowdfunding does offer a chance of hitting the jackpot, I wish i could write a page so 50 million people give me a penny each. Tell them Im developing a cheap battery tool for car owners to change their own cam belts
-
Ah well we're getting into subjective judgements now. Each person can only give a penny to so many crowdfunders before they are queing at the food bank themselves.

From this table the number of people aged 18 and over in the UK in 2018 is projected to be 52,403,344 imagine 52 million times one pence, half a million quid out there somewhere

Cancer surgeon, suppose need a bit of light hearted gossip sometimes, cant always have your head buried in technical journals. Those sarcomas - no time to hang around waiting. Deadliest lumps known to mankind

I have been googling it, and saw the chinese, and italians had tried prednisolone or similar on covid patients, sort of improvising, while it knocks down the inflammation it also suppresses the immune system, so some of these patients take longer to clear the virus. I thought you may have shared some insight into the mechanisms involved
-
I remember you saying you were a consultant at your local hospital, maybe the modern ones talk like this. Or you're a lower grade NHS. You never replied to my question about what is known about treating Covid-19 associated atypical pneumonia with high dose steroids.

climb up the inside if its not littered up with bramble. Ladder to 20ft can help if resting safe and not going to snap out foliage you want to keep. I prefer goggles to mesh visor, seems less chance of something getting under. 200k worth of mechanised kit would trim those tops if theres access

I never know which button to press, blue or yellow

Hey Gimlet - what are your views on masturbation? I'd prefer an in depth reply if you can spare the time and dont find it a taboo subject. Any theories on long term effects? Why do some men only stay celibate and or wank, yet others are always with women? Is it genetic? Will wanking save the glaciers?
-
So what do you even mean kill the virus and corona ay the same time? You and Eggs - your posts are a bit like AI chat bots. Perhaps webmasters are investing in them to keep post count averages up

children of key workers still in school, key workers commuting, supermarket distancing a joke, flights still arriving without temperature checks on entry even so the daily hospital deaths hasn't been above a thousand yet, Nightingale hospital virtually empty.

That 1.8 trillion has built up over years of near zero interest rates - this one event, not just the bailouts and handouts, but the lost tax revenue is going to hit the public purse for gawd knows how much. North of half a trillion? Interest rates cant go lower, so the new thing every crisis is print
-
I thought I covered your questions in first post - to reiterate 1. any lockdown was going to nearly bankrupt the country - so the public needed to see significant hospital deaths recorded before they would believe it necessary 2 the graphs weren't included to look swanky - just to show the daily recorded positive tests aren't still climbing, nor is the hospital death rate. Do you honestly think the public would have put up with staying in and complete closure of all air and sea ports, shutting of non essential businesses without seeing a bit of blood in the streets first?
