RT appreciated: How many #devops folks know that all of the BA.5, BQ.1.1 etc. variant designations come from a handful of volunteers running a github repo? Or that the python code used to identify new variants is starting to hit computational limits?

12 votes • Final resultsWhat's going on with the computer system @LloydsPharmacy ? My branch has been unable to fill my repeat prescription? I've been sent away twice now because they can't download the prescription.

Really @MattHancock? 🤔
Then why did we make and distribute over 200,000 face shields 🤔
Why did we bother becoming the 1st distributed manufacturers to get CE approval? 🤔
Why are we now having to fight HMRC for over £10,000 in VAT back? 🤔

Just a quick reminder. Applications for #PiWars 2021 at Home close on Monday, 12th October. That's just under a MONTH AWAY! :-)
It would be delightful if you didn't all leave it until the last minute! :-D

We've delivered 65,000 Face Shields over the last 4 weeks. But we need more donations to help us print even more for our front line workers. You can donate via this link: uk.gofundme.com/f/3dcrowd-em…
THANK YOU to our amazing 8,000 volunteers. We are #3Dcrowduk 💙
#inthistogether
Taking part in the @3dcrowduk #TheBigPrint to print face shields for our hardworking NHS staff.
Any @PiWarsRobotics friends able to join in?

Once the dust settles and I've managed to find a new role, I'm planning to release this. It works too well to keep it to myself. I'll give you early access for a RT. 😉

And a lot of hard work from you too @fasaxc !
.@pololu did we just get a bad batch of #3213 gear motors or is this by design?
Replying to @fasaxc @PiWarsRobotics
Looks like a design flaw - our spare shows the same issue. The gear box is big enough to house a longer gear with more engagement, just that the fitted great is stupidly short :(
Post about our #piwars robot's tracks here: hardwarehacker.co.uk/blog/tr…
Turns out designing tracks from scratch is *hard*... Almost got the unpowered prototype working. Then I'll have to figure out how to squeeze the motor into the frame too... #PiWars
