Definitely mad, possibly bad, but not particularly dangerous to know.
OK, friends, this is social.yyy.scot, social media for folk in Scotland. It will run until the 30th June, and then the folk who use it will have a vote on whether it's worth keeping.
as usual based on @yogthos's luminus guide
```
(extend-protocol jdbc/IResultSetReadColumn
org.postgresql.jdbc.PgArray
(result-set-read-column [value metadata index]
(vec (.getArray value))))
```
all right got refresh token exchange working too. i had to extend some protocol to translate org.postgresql.jdbc.PgArray to #clojure vectors but it works now
@simon_brooke New Leaf Coop in Edinburgh, marchmont do bring your own containers for dry food!
Checkout can take a while with weighing.
I've been living in Germany: getting consumers to reuse containers is good, but standardizing containers and implementing refund is so superior #pfand It would be easiest to start we with biz/gov support but could potentially be cooped/crowd-funded

Further to that, I've seen a link to this really inspirational 'bring your own container' shop in Cornwall. I knew there were such places in Germany, but didn't know of any in the UK. Do we have any in Scotland?
With bulk vending machines, you take your own container to the machine and fill it (much as you do when you're filling a can with petrol for your lawnmower at a garage). Examples here:
https://themilkstationcompany.co.uk/
http://www.risto-vending.com/en/index.php
http://www.brunimat.ch/en/products.html
The benefit is the consumer fills their container, takes it home, uses the milk (or other product), washes it out, takes it back and fills it again potentially very many times, saving hundreds of single-use plastic bottles.
If you respond to this consultation (and I'd urge you to), I'd suggest you consider mentioning bulk liquid vending machines - I'll put links in the next tweet - which can eliminate a great deal of single use packaging. >>>

I'm sitting with my lover, who is dying. She's beyond the stage of being able to recognise anyone, and, despite intravenous morphine, is obviously in discomfort.
If she was a dog we'd put her down out of sheer humanity. Our attitudes to homan death are odd.
i'll have to figure out why the scope is empty (it's correct in the db) -- in other words oauth seems to work mostly?

♲ @The National (Unofficial) (thenational@f.praschnig.com): I FOUND Ivan McKee’s article (The people of an independent Scotland make the decision on a new currency, June 25) in The National a little disappointing. I am sure McKee has good intentions in following the SNP line on the Growth Commission report, but much of what he says is misleading for those who are not terribly well informed on the significance of a country having its own currency. He also makes a number of claims about other countries that are not supported by evidence. www.thenational.scot/comment/1… #News #Sport

Open source's nature is to fade into the background and go unnoticed except by those whose work touches it directly. It is the plankton of computing. We all breathe, but few of us stop to think about where the oxygen is coming from.

An epic coding day. When I started work 16 hours ago, virtually nothing was working. Now, some 45 forms look slick and although they're not completely finished, they're working.
This rate of progress totally vindicates my strategy of autogenerating most of the code: fix a problem once and you fix it everywhere.
