Actual cinnamon (as in Ceylon) rather than cassia (which is what passes for cinnamon in places like the US)?

Doctor to me: [X] is looking particularly frail today. It seems like being 80 is finally catching up to him. Me (accompanying said man to an appt): He's looking frail because today he fell off the garage roof he was re-felting and compounded it by shinning up an apple tree.

According to wikipedia, it's gained in popularity since the 1990s, influenced by the US usage in multinational firms.

I had a random pop-up over the word "badge" so for a brief, exciting moment I was ??? And, "What!"

I once read an utterly delightful thread about traybakes. It inevitably got onto the near cult status of fives and the traybake in NI and visits to garden centres for scones (different animal to scones in England), traybakes and tea.

A friend's disopyramide is currently being discontinued globally. He needs to monitor his vitals as part of his transition to another medication. The cardiologist advised him to purchase his own Hume Band (not to sidetrack onto that issue).

Absolutely for Hume. I was disconcerted that a friend was advised to purchase a Hume band to monitor his vitals because his cardiac drug is being withdrawn globally and he needs to transition to something else.

I would if I could…I often eye up water towers when I travel past them and think of what I'd do with the space.

Agreed, it's a well established truth. Max Beloff, Prof. of Government and Public Administration at Oxford: "most inquiries are so manned that they turn out to be nothing but the system looking at itself, and finding more to admire than to blame." [Re: Barbara Robbs' work.]

The last time anyone received a state pension at the age of 60 was 2010. These estimates might bear updating across several dimensions to be relevant and understandable.

When I was reviewing a paper BA (Before AI) it wasn't unusual in this scenario to discover charming wording from Google Translate. Diadem ringroad is still amongst my favourites. No prizes but you're welcome to work out what the intended medical procedure was.

I've just seen other transcription offereings that are far better than mine. I incline to "descrated" rather than "decorated".

Taking you at your word - the the text is in the alt text. I am unsure of anything in square brackets. A belated though is that it's "first mistreated"
