Debate about Google Meet vs Discord
Google Meet is not allowing us to admit people as the not-owner of the meetings
Discord is technically not listed on a public website like the google meet
Temporarily using Discord as the meeting space
Are still debating the switch to discord: whether we should make it permanent or not
Arguments against: discord is not immediately publicly accessible, the meeting is too boring for the general public anyway
Arguments for: incidental attendees are expected to increase on discord
State of the conference room
Trash can (with food) smells.
Conference room tables should be cleaned, at least one should be available for use
Should finish ham :)
Ants are back
Manual mill table (knee) suspiciously hard to raise and lower.
First noticed a month ago.
Greased
Likely the thrust bearing on the ACME screw needs replacement
Still bad
A random screw showed up on the mill table, it seems like it’s from the mill.
Still on mill table
