So he's admitted they've done things that are prison-worthy...?

Musk and X are a threat to British democracy. Anyone still on X who thinks right-wing issues are uppermost in everyone's minds in the UK...that's because Musk WANTS you to believe it. It's not reality.

Seemingly at odds with this though?

Community midwives are brilliant. But help is still needed for many women. It's a choice you have to carefully consider.

For first-time births, "There were 9.3 unfavourable outcomes for the baby per 1000 planned homebirths, compared to 5.3 per 1000 for a planned hospital birth. This difference was significant."

Is home birth the right decision for me? | NCT
Many people think hospital is the best place to have a baby, but this might not necessarily be the case. Read more about giving birth at home.

Exactly - more likely your scenario as well, as I doubt a doctor would come out. It would be an ambulance and the paramedics trying to save their lives.

The idea of a home birth is great...as long as you realise that anything can go wrong at any moment. The time it takes for a doctor to arrive can mean the difference between life and death for the baby and/or mother. If I had opted for a home birth, it's likely neither of us would have survived.

It's like in the US - 'we need more guns to defend ourselves against all the guns'. That's worked out really well...

It will be on the file tab at the top left in Word. Unless you have a really old version...

Blimey, that doesn't sound like fun! I feel for you. But for me, that's different to letting the words created in your brain flow through your fingers onto the page. Typing is a conduit for me. But if I'm taking notes at a meeting, I always write by hand

This is how I did it...

go to File > Options > Copilot and uncheck the "Enable Copilot" box, then click OK.

They've probably read stuff like L Ron Hubbard's - it seems he often had strong, male, heroic protagonists, the ultimate leader types. I couldn't get past the first few chapters in Battlefield Earth, truly awful.

I'm a medical writer by day (fiction author by night) - either way, I can only let the words flow if I use a computer and touch type. Everyone is different!

You can uninstall Copilot. And I think you can switch AI off in various browsers if you go to the settings.

I wish it was solely used for research/healthcare. But no, profits always come first.

Life likes to put us in our place, then cheer us up a little with a reminder of the good stuff.

There is no need for false images though, no matter how good the intentions. Keep it real, using photos of real people. For me, that message is stronger.

Exactly - there are many fantastic photos that are real, without having to make anything up. Leave that to Trump and his ilk...

It's not an improved version of the original though, that's for sure.

At first I thought it was great. Then realised the bent flag pole, three-eyed frog, depressed panda, terrible placards, etc., made a mockery of what seemed to be a great moment in history.

I love clothes dried on the line outside! I do have a dryer, but don't use it. We have a three storey house, so in the winter all the clothes dry on the banister on the first floor. Even duvets dry in a few hours.

He's a man who's so rich, he could change the lives of millions of people for the better and still have money to spare. But he chooses hate instead.
