@corlin yup
Only bright side is it will open eventually, date keeps getting pushed back, now for building inspection which shoulda been figured into the first opening date announced
But like many SNP things they undertake its been a total shambles from start to "finish"
Let's hope this building isn't gonna go same as the schools building works

It will be a big issue which is why you'd think tech journalists woulda been all over it when news of UK giving up the island hit
I haven't seen anything from any tech-media-outlet nothing - Nada which is surprising
Meanwhile: in UK #Politics what happens next after the shocking conservative vote?
The shock at the elimination of James Cleverly was near universal.
Not only had he failed to muster the handful of extra votes to make it into the last two, he had actually gone backwards.
How on Earth did that happen?

In a secret ballot, theories vary, but cock-up attracts

The Monet, which dates to about 1865, subsequently “disappeared” in 1941, the FBI said in a press release.
“It’s an act of justice to have it returned,” Anne Webber, co-chair of the Commission for Looted Art in Europe, reportedly said. “It has huge sentimental feeling for the family.”
The Claude Monet pastel looted from a Jewish couple by Nazis in the second world war was returned to the family’s descendants, officials said on Wednesday
Adalbert “Bela” and Hilda Parlagi purchased the artwork, titled Bord de Mer, at an Austrian art auction in 1936. After Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938, the Parlagis had to flee and they left their possessions in storage.
The Nazis in 1940 seized their belongings, which included seven other artworks
