#72pencils arranged into four intersecting hexagonal prisms. Took me a bit to figure out how to assemble it after seeing a picture. Original design by mathematician/sculptor George Hart. #Geometry #Pencil

Good explanation of how energy prices are set in UK and why we pay same price as gas for renewal energy which are fraction of the price of gas.

Has to be the dumbest Tweet in the universe when you consider around 80% of its customer base is Opensource folk who historically have been very uneasy with police forces around the world.
@dick_turpin Very much so. TBH their PR has been pretty prickly for a long time.
They seem to think giving customers no information and no detail over the supply chain issues is a virtue, rather than exceptionally frustrating.
It's just a bit sad that they are needlessly harming the good work they do do, for the lack of listening.
@dick_turpin It was a little tone deaf for sure. But I think their response to the criticism and their further doubling down on it was the bigger error.

@bigcalm In general I'm not a fan of CSS frameworks which end up adding 300 classes to every element. Especially when you end up with things like: <table class="table"/>.
I've used http://getskeleton.com/ a couple of times and love it's simplicity.
@Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social A welcome update. I had an order with CPC, which they've bizarrely cancelled without communication after 14 months. Pretty much had to resort to just paying inflated prices for any hope of being able to try and complete my cluster server project.

Me, at present: "HTML is fine, with some light CSS. I don't need a bunch of JavaScript."
Went to see Aussie Floyd on Monday at Symphony Hall in Birmingham. Excellent gig, great music and amazing light show and animation. Would really recommend for any Pink Floyd fan out there.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
@bigcalm the middle?
@SimonB what needs?
@breinbaas yeh. I think 'to connect to' the words that do the heavy lifting.
I've always considered applications using the 'postgres' default database not to be best practice, especially when they are authing as the 'postgres' user.
Do other #postgresql people agree with that?

Last day (this Sunday) to submit your talk for FOSDEM PGDay and the PostgreSQL Devroom!
Please note that the event takes place in Brussels, no pre-recorded talks are considered at this point.
