Once I was going past Stonehenge on the A303 and there was a Hay Henge made of bales in the field opposite

Indeed, tbf I found VNC more convenient for working on RPi than plugging in KB, mouse & monitor...

(well, there's the USB-C, but you'd have to add a hub, etc)

"Just plug in a screen and keyboard and then you can use Debian running on the Dragonwing"

Slightly hampered by the Uno-Q not having any HDMI or USB sockets to plug into.

Does it come with a remote desktop setup?

In The Old Days, there was only one phone number for the entire household.
Nowadays, we have a separate number for each person!

I guess historically it goes back to the days when datasheets were hard-copy in bound books.

But, nowadays, there seems no point in maintaining a separate "Errata" doc - just go straight and update main datasheet!

So why did they bother putting up any panels at all?
Why did they buy extra land just to put a few panels on?
antronicsltd.bsky.social
But look at the panels they do have there - looks like the tarmacced area is more than twice that

At least nowadays cars turn foglights off with the ignition.

I remember the days when people would still have them days after the fog had gone!

My favourite woman in STEM is, of course, my mother.
A bench with a lot of chemistry lab apparatus on it.
To the right, a woman wearing a white labcoat is holding a test tube over a Bunsen burner. The test tube is connected to the rest of the apparatus. A certificate with a dragon emblem at the top:

O.E.C.D. High Temperature Reactor Project - Dragon

this document records appreciation of the services rendered to the Dragon Project

by Mrs. <name redacted>  as a Scientific Assistant

during the period April 1961- December 1961

The Dragon Project, a joint undertaking under the aegis of the European Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, with its headquarters at Winfrith Heath, Dorset, England, was responsible to its Board of Management for the development of High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors within a budget of twenty-five million pounds sterling over a period of eight years from 1st April 1959. The Project was asked to undertake a programme of research and development, to design, construct and operate a reactor experiment and a fuel element fabrication plant, and to carry out design studies on large high temperature gas cooled graphite moderated power reactors.
The Signatories to the Dragon Project Agreement were the Republic of Austria represented by the Federal Chancellery, the Danish Atomic Energy Commission, the Commission of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), the Institutt for Atomenergi Norway, Aktiebolaget Atomenergi Sweden, the Government of the Swiss Confederation, and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.

It was also cancer that took Gimli.
