From my place is can see four bars, only one is open. It's the one I don't like.

Bars doing food have been open for takeaways for about three weeks. Menus very limited and most you have to order by phone. You can takeaway beer ie stand and drink it in the car park or outside ( although the Police have moved people further away) and and quite a few sit in their car and get bottles brought to them to drink in the car listening to music. The regulations re re-opening will be limits on numbers indoors, tables spaced apart, limits on diners at each table, one bar owner said that they would have to put perspex up at the bar etc. Outside will be easier with social distancing, locally the councils are relaxing the rules on size of areas outside bars providing there is no safety issues re traffic. The week before the closures people did sit further apart, even playing cards and hand shaking stopped so I think people will adapt not quite convinced that some of the smaller bars will though. I think some are going to find it very difficult. Ive really missed grilled fish and sea food and the sardine season is due to start so thats something I'm going to pig myself out on.
You still mainly in the flat?

Pretty much. The bars are open for 50% capacity but only outside. The only place doing delivery in the town is Burger King. It's a very small town. Part of me thinks we should have stayed at the beach but we've Netflix and Internet here. The beach house is in Granada so we'd be in phase 0 anyway. Here we're in phase 1.

I thought it was Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace?

Anyway there are still problems with Bill Gates philanthropy.

Probably a mixed bag - like most things - but I'm always cynical about the billionaire class.

So'm I, and you're right to be.

But bonkers conspiraloons dreaming up 'Bill Nazi Gates forcing evil vaccinations onto the whole world!!!1!!!1!!' can still fuck the complete fuck off ! :mad:

[ETA : I do appreciate that the above post (#3,076) was overdoing it a tad! :D ]

Bill Gates did not invent computers.

He pioneered bulk licensing operating systems to computer manufacturers.

He also was one of the people who saw Xerox's work on creating GUIs and said 'make it like that'.

I consider him a facilitator of pc development more than an innovator.

steve jobs basically took some code - which had originally been written by people bring paid per line of code - and just stripped out all the extraneous shit to make a much faster (with less risk of miscopied lines) and turned it into Apple
