Dear @jaguaruk I want to download my map update, but I can't because I don't have a spare FAT32 formatted USB stick to hand. My iPace happily reads ext4 but Windows10 doesn't - How do I square this circle and get my map update without buying more USB sticks?

Hey @Monzo - Is there a way for me to rename a shared tab. I have one with my husband, but its use has outgrown its name.

Thanks to @jogbert I'm reminded to go back to working on my marked data crate. Perhaps one day I'll get it into a state that we can port subplot to using it.

Once again, @ericwastl made getting up during December that much more fun. Thank you for #adventofcode2020 Eric, and for those that went before. 300 club membership ahoyhoy!

Depressingly, other than the scale of the situation, Prof Sridhar's description matches pretty much every Tory government term in my lifetime.
Basically WhatsApp friends of Tory politicians made loads of money through this crisis, while the rest of the country suffered both deaths, illness and economic pain.

This is terrifying Neonicotinoids are banned in EU because of lethal harm to bees, butterflies, birds & other animals This is exactly what we warned Brexit could be used for Ministers needs to rule this out immediately if they’re serious about upholding promises on standards
This is massive, and horrific. @NFUtweets is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media." On the contrary, please RT. campaigns.nfuonline.com/page…

Thank you Gareth for a very enjoyable evening. I find the process or others learning Rust to be fascinating and I love helping along the way.

In fact, let's go ahead and try to do an "Unsafe Chronicles" @rustlang stream on Saturday at 6pm UTC (everytimezone.com/s/86025e61). It'll be a bit different from my other streams β€” more "explainer" than "coding" β€” but will hopefully be interesting nonetheless!
I'm thinking of doing a new (infrequent) Crust of Rust "sub-series" on the many pitfalls of unsafe in @rustlang, where each episode looks at a particular trickiness or gotcha. The first one would likely follow my journey with github.com/jonhoo/rust-evmap…. Does that sound interesting?

This is a lie. Not spin. Not a difference of opinion. Not his own emphasis on events. It's a lie. This is the kind of thing politicians used to have to resign for. They still should. Mogg is utterly immoral. He has no shame. He is abject. And he is a liar.

Just a reminder that Christian Right linked lawyer Paul Conrathe used the same β€˜consent’ argument against blockers for trans kids today. You think they’re not going after abortion next?... They’ve already started!!!
A woman in the UK says she would not have had an abortion if she had known her unborn child could feel pain. Her lawyer, Paul Conrathe, joins us to discuss the lawsuit she is filing against abortion businesses asking that they be required to inform women of this. #ProLife

Startup advice: don’t hire guys until they provide at least three references from women stating they’re not sexist imbeciles.
