Theres a chickenpox vaccine? It's not part of the childhood vaccination program here in the UK.


It has been for maybe around fifteen years in the US. It's a relatively new thing that it's in common use.


Interesting - it's part of the routine childhood schedule in the US but not in the UK. From NHS: "Why isn't the chickenpox vaccination part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule?"

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/chickenpox-vaccin...


Paraphrased: Herd immunity created by most people getting the chicken pox vaccine would make it less likely for people who did not get the vaccine to get chicken pox early in life, leaving them susceptible to contracting it later in life.

It sounds like those people should also get vaccinated, rather than not requiring anyone to be vaccinated.


I wonder if part of the reason why chickenpox vaccine is not part of the childhood vaccination program in the UK is because in the US we have for profit pharmaceutical companies who are not liable for ANY injury they cause who are paying a lot of money to lobbyists.

We so need this in the UK


London did, 5 years ago, for the London Underground: http://traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/

More recently, one London bus at a time: http://traintimes.org.uk/map/london-buses/#73

There's a decent amount of open rail data, and a website listing usages: http://www.openraildata.info/


This is cooler than the Berlin one tbh


Lego* ;)


Lego is the plural! Gotcha


Is there a demo to save downloading/building it?


Yes, forgot to mention that: http://chewbonga.com/simple-world-threejs/


Brilliant :)


Thanks!


This is great for all the people at work who insist they need photoshop to crop and resize a few pictures.


Well I don't think CS2 became obsolete. I mean 7 years gone but that doesn't mean that the features are now basic...


I still use CS2 for all my web design work. I installed the demo of CS6 and looked at what had been improved in my normal workflow and it turned out it hadn't really changed since CS2.

While the world thinks its obsolete, it really isn't.

Frustrating however as I now can't reinstall After Effects CS2 as they haven't resolved the termination of the activation servers for that.
