The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

Call 159 To Stop Phone Scams

Image
Call 159 is an excellent idea from, and for, the UK which I would like to see spread to Aotearoa New Zealand some day soon. How it works 159 works in the same way as 101 for the police or 111 for the NHS. It’s the number you can trust to get you through to your bank safely and securely, every time. So if you think someone is trying to trick you into handing over money or personal details - stop, hang up and call 159 to speak directly to your bank. There's more here: https://stopscamsuk.org.uk/159 Also the BBC in 2023 had Be Scam Safe , a: .. joint effort between BBC programmes, Stop Scams UK, and major UK organisations, in an attempt to provide you with advice to spot, and avoid scams. We believe that empowering everybody with the tools to help identify scams, will help avoid the financial and emotional damage caused by this kind of fraud. Tonnes a useful links and info.

It's Ok To Leave A Drink

Image
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a drink poured is not a drink that has to be drunk. Yes, I like a beer and the (in)frequent wine, this is true but that universal law was one that was, for a long time, unknown to me. When you don't really have a lot of money, or have a history / upbringing of making do but not having money to chuck away, it's weird to know you don't have to. Also, alcohol is my emotional crutch (surprised?) and the thought of leaving that alone of a night was for such a long time a thought of, "But, no, I will have to face myself". I'm obviously in a better place. Now, when I'm done, I am done and have no qualms about leaving a drink half quaffed. In fact, it's a strength and I love it when I do it. No one has to deal with 'finger wagging Mike', I don't have to deal with 'finger wagging Mike'. Leaving it undrunk is fine, it really is.
