On it

Being the smartest guy in the lab probably means that he is naturally self isolating and keeps his distance from all contact, phyisical and emotional, while 'understanding' his pet project.

So for him, he doesnt get what hes already doing.

Unfortunately is a good guy too

Announcement that Irish schools are closing. Assume ours will today / tomorrow also.

Fuck off... 😘

Anyone got an age demographic break down for fatalities in Italy?

Mclaren have just pulled out from this weekend.

We were thinking of going to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Less fussed by not being allowed back into the UK as long as roads are open so we can drive down to France and stay at my folks.

TBH the idea of working remotely in the middle of the French countryside sounds quite appealing.

On balance though, I'm not sure what you do in Amsterdam when you don't want to come into contact with anyone.

We'll I stocked up today on D3
THOUGH every pharmacy I went to had sold out of hand sanitiser (over 70% alcohol)

No problem getting hold of the things that actually work (soap, vitamin D3).

Thanks for the prompt on vitamin D, I'd been forgetting to take mine. The study the video talks about was actually carried out by my current employer :)

I asked this morning why given this PHE aren't saying take vit. D in their advice but apparently for research to be adopted as public health advice it takes a while and requires a very high bar.

I escaped from Denmark

I don't even. What?

edit: unless this is really very dry and more than likely i've missed the joke.

Actually.
Can I do a quick straw poll on here?
I mean, as demographic LFGSS are well educated, mostly white, mostly male, right?

How do you think science and evidence works?

Magnets?

Good idea.

In terms of other marginal gains. Been using this now for commuting:

Take a really tiny bit, then dilute it in water until the water remembers it?

Currently not including the UK tho...

Now that schools etc are shut, should I fly to Ireland on Saturday?
