We've seen a review of #1st #gen of the Scarpa sole where after 700 miles of wear there was noticeable wear to the sole & the guy predicted he'd get ~1000 miles out of the boot.

Hoping feedback from testing & customers has led to improvement in the longevity of the 2nd+ gen of their sole.

Incredibly niche

Has anyone got #review of:
#Scarpa Mens #Ribelle Cross 2 Mid Gore-Tex Walking Boots

Its too early for there to be accessible reviews

*Overall review of boot
*Sole: longevity, grip & durability

Health workers, hospitals and ambulances should NEVER be targets.

Safe access to care must be protected everywhere, for everyone. Human rights are universal, and our right to health goes with us wherever we are.

I wonder if factors such as:
*normalisation of the decline of NHS
*compassion fatigue
*cognitive dissonance
Mean that this won't shock some folks

It should be scandalous.

Been searching online in recent days for evidence of jointly agreed protocols between agencies as to how the Mental Health Act should operate across five areas of business.

I'm not getting very far, very fast.

Public safety πŸ“£

In this hot weather, do not stick arms, legs or heads out of the car window!

And don’t allow passengers to do the same

Paramedics will tell you that even the slightest crash can lead to horrific injuries like this

I sometimes hear people say they keep meds in their car in case they forget them in the morning.

Don't do that.

I imagine the threat if fires at any point might also influence the attire folks in the know wear,

swirving away from synthetic fabrics that would melt & adhere to skin, causing severe burns...

in favour of natural fabrics that apoarently are mote likely to char & adhere less.

We all agree it's broken. We have differing ideas on how to fix it.

My #financialToxicity mitigation thoughts:
1️⃣Health insurance should work for people, not against them
2️⃣ A serious dx shouldn't mean you are automatically underinsured
3️⃣ We need guaranteed paid medical leave
