If I was to build digital signage I would use free software, but what do I know. Maybe paying license fees for a sign is fun 🤷‍♂️.

CCP4 study weekend this year is Wednesday through Friday

Virtual Lunchtime Bytes 16:30 – 17:30

Why can't we (i) call it teatime bytes since the lunchtime is not part of the pun anyway and (ii) move on from the "study weekend" name which hasn't happened at the weekend since forever?

Anyhow, now that's out I will see folks there

Turns out it is not a majority of UK people wanting to go back to the 1800's

"But the government has now said it will not change the rules, after 98.7% of respondents to a consultation favoured using metric as the main measurement unit for sales, as now, or as the only unit."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67795075

1.3% of people wanted to go back to stupid units. That's surprisingly low to me.

@graemewinter how much is 1.3% in imperial units?

Shout out and thanks to all the antivaxxers for being such a well behaved control group when it comes to measuring the COVID-19 Case Fatality Risk.

You helped prove the point, and, you know, if you want to you could come over and join us on the other side any time. But I respect your choice to remain in the study.

@xtaldave If their tax residence is outside the UK then technically that qualifies as foreign aid, no?
