I think tuition fees for uni is about 9000 a year
The Open University used to charge £140 for a 10 point course, (about six months) that was affordable as you did a bigger qualification bit by bit.
So even OU is far more exapensve
@garritfra add to thus

Stop using "Zoom" as a general term for video conferencing.
Stop using "Google" as a general term for searching the web.
Yes you have a good point there, I guess in the UK we don't need to worry about Medicare as we have the NHS which is free (well paid for with Taxes.)
I wonder if what happened in California with the big companies being taxed if the execs are earning 100k + (I think that is the case) will spread elsewhere. and eventually outside the US

Trying to embed short link
@hansw I am going to delete it, I keep getting calls from people who just appear as numbers.
I also don't know how to log out (it should be a simple easy to find button)

COVID-19
@ultem Everyone has their work cut out to sort this, I think we will get through this messages need to be clear, simple and consistent, and also we need to counter mis information and anti vaccine nonsense, share the science, sure share vaccine concerns, there are some risks bu they need to be in perspective identify who may be allergic and find an alternative approach

On MarkDown Learning, Tutorial, and Editors
@joaopinheiro And I came back, on a quiet moment to read your new blog page. Very nice - I really enjoyed it, and think it can be useful to other people as well.
Same as you, I first learned about MarkDown upon getting started with blogging - using the Write.Freely software, which is the free open source version of the Write.as blog.
Both Write.Freely and Write.as are superb tools for writers - as they were designed to simplify things, avoiding the complications and excess luggage that the major blog platforms (WordPress, etc) have.
This is just the Beginning of today's Blog post...
On MarkDown Learning, Tutorial, and Editors
With a little extra for anyone curious or interested in how to install their own private Write.Freely instance - runs here on my Windows 10 laptop.

It is rather sad really, Facebook goes down people take to Twitter, Twitter goes down people take to Facebook.
The real conversation is here of course or at least this is what I am finding
@itnewsbot Good research s about peer review and scrutiny surely.
