ELI5 I don't get the point of pacemakers

Doesn't the fastest runner just go to the front and lead the pack? Or maybe the slowest runner starts off fast but fades. Why is there some random person dictating the pace?

My dad built this pool literally by hand in the Eighties.

I have some progress pics, where he is literally moving soil by hand, with a mound of soil behind him. I'll try to find them in a bit.

We had just moved to a new country because my mum wanted a pool in her back garden like the people in the TV show Dallas. They didn't have enough money for a house that came with a pool, so he literally just made her dream happen.

Only a year later, developers came along and offered double the price of the house, and my parents took the offer. They found a house with an existing pool (I'll send pics in comments). We visited our old house a few months later and they had filled in the pool! Diabolical haha.

I work in a nursery (the kid kind) and it is going to be 35 degrees tomorrow.

We have no air con, the rooms retain heat even if we do everything advised. We can't go outside because it is too hot. We have to change nappies every two hours. So lifting about 15 kids onto a nappy changing area every few hours.

We have to try to keep the kids entertained, and also keep the room tidy. Any bit of exertion is like full on sweat. We also have to clean and sweep after meal times. There is not one bit of the day where we can just chill and cool off. The kids are radgy because it's sooo hot, and because it is school holiday time, we have older kids who are bored out of their minds so we have to try to come up with fun activities for them too.

I am DREADING tomorrow Aaaagh!

I just came across this book my dad sent me after Senna died

I was away in America when he died. My dad was the person who got me into F1. I was watching from the age of 3 years old because of him. In case you can't read it, the message says:

Happy Christmas dearest Lisa (me) He will always live on from the love of all those who remember him. All our thoughts, Mom, Jon and Dad

I just thought it was a lovely message and wanted to share it. My dad died in 2015 but I think about him everytime I watch a race. He would have some THOUGHTS about the current era!!

Actors who are amazing in everything they've ever been on

Everytime I see their names credited in anything, I know they will be excellent. My fave Vera role is Mrs Bates and Merrit's is her character in Nurse Jackie. They are just both amazing in anything they do though! Truly amazing actors.

1, Murphy and Cooper in Interstellar.

  1. Andy and Red in Shawshank Redemption.

  2. Arya and Jon Snow in GOT.

  3. Kristen and Jeevan in Station Eleven.

I know she is problematic, but I still feel a bit sad about Sha'Carri Richardson's career

I just think she was killing it a few years ago, and then her personal demons stepped in and she has been a mess for a few years. I know there are DV accusations, so this post is mostly wishing her life had gone another way. She had SOOO much potential!!

I swear this guy could have his own spin-off

I'm rewatching BB after rewatching BCS, and totally forgot about this scene! S3 E7 The ammo guy who sold the twins the body armour to go up against Hank. What a corker he was! The whole scene was him jabbering away, but every bit of dialogue was just gold!

I was a British Nanny who lived in America for 17 years during the nineties and early 00's

So I don't know if me being an adult and also not American means anything, but I remember using Stouffers stuffing. I remember Shazaaam very clearly and like all of you I can picture the movie poster with Sinbad doing that goofy pose. I was a nanny, so I read the Berenstein books to my kiddos loads. I was even nannying for a Jewish family at one point, and had the thought that the bears were Jewish because of their last name. One weird thing though is that I grew up in South Africa, and don't have the Mandela false date of death!

What do you think about the recent Ebola outbreak?

Ebola is such a scary disease, but it's so virulent that it usually kills of it's hosts before it can spread. This variant seems to keep people alive a bit longer though.

Season 3 ep 8 is such an important episode in the Chuck vs Jimmy relationship

Chuck always made out that Jimmy was stealing from the register, basically blaming him for his parents losing thousands of dollars in their business. Saul is many things, but nooo way would he cheat his parents out of their hard earned cash, He was trying to find rare coins that his dad had previously given away for nothing but Chuck saw it as him pilfering from them. I think this is a small detail that speaks a lot to how Chuck views Jimmy

It is sooo good. I forgot so many things! Slippy Jimmy and his hench mate in the coin scam, the mad rush to save Huel from prison. It's actually all the other stories that are so interesting though. The set up for the basement lab with the Germans, Nacho's story, the way Gus brought his nemesis back to life just to torture him. Mike is an amazing character, but then Lalo pops up and totally steals the show. It really is just a masterpiece.
