I had a colleague who had to call an ambulance to a nature reserve and said he had a right nightmare because the handler didn&#39;t understand OS.

I really wish the OS app was just slightly better at showing your location. <br/><br/>Everyone on the course loves W3W. The trainer did go through in detail why OS was better than W3W for mountain rescue, which was great, and he expressed frustration that the ambulance service will only accept postcodes and W3W.<br/><br/>Can&#39;t wait for #What3Words to go bust 😬 2026-03-03T07:11:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswws2tydq0wmz929yerrwj8yj7pe3l3gurgnm3fzzqjsptsrje8uczypdccjy9lspw5kk532ddvnsv7ttfv8k5wjw2snwskw5h5yqwmudru43nzm2 HPAI (bird flu) on Gough Island, but how did it get to one of the most isolated and remote islands on earth? <br/><br/><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2026.2627076">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/22221751.2026.2627076</a><br/><br/>#ornithology #HPAI 2026-02-26T21:28:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspq8np6xd42f4caaqsuw5jj2l3gcvkaqhuzjkga3v29qkjrs7t20szypdccjy9lspw5kk532ddvnsv7ttfv8k5wjw2snwskw5h5yqwmudruvjq5dm My friend needs to re-home her cat sadly, a lovely black and white kitty, she&#39;s in Newcastle (England) if anyone in the north east here is looking for a sweet little cat?<br/> <img src="https://ecoevo.social/system/media_attachments/files/116/125/279/526/998/494/original/edb1fb40bda9eae0.png"> <br/> 2026-02-24T11:06:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0cy27mda3933hjx5ksf8x4yyqs6qheezgsahm4w3se8rw408z8sgzypdccjy9lspw5kk532ddvnsv7ttfv8k5wjw2snwskw5h5yqwmudru656j8r Open Access in British Birds: A birder’s guide to High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza<br/><br/><a href="https://britishbirds.co.uk/journal/article/bb-eye-birders-guide-high-pathogenicity-avian-influenza">https://britishbirds.co.uk/journal/article/bb-eye-birders-guide-high-pathogenicity-avian-influenza</a><br/><br/>#HPAI #BirdFlu 2026-02-23T18:49:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8pmj34q8z9uv8thsc92c2xl9uv8lkpvv0kvpdlszuy6rwer5cn2czypdccjy9lspw5kk532ddvnsv7ttfv8k5wjw2snwskw5h5yqwmudruqhhf63 Ads in ChatGPT, CEOs begging people to use AI, taking a cut of &#34;Customers’ AI-Aided Discoveries&#34;...
