I’m kind of a “Marmite person”, in that I’m essentially a by-product of the brewing industry.

@idoclosecuts I'm granting them £50m as a sum that seems like it should be obviously more than enough to run a suitably lavish bash

@gendercensus it ought to be possible to do something like COUNTIF(A$1:A$1000 = A4) instead of COUNTIF(ESCAPE(A4))? Not sure how Google sheets works but something like that might avoid having to escape the values at all

@gendercensus my guess is the > at the front is being interpreted as "greater than", and it's counting all genders that sort lexically (roughly, in order by ASCII code) after ":3>!!!", which includes anything starting with a letter, so nearly everything

@gendercensus at least it's not counting it 3!!! times

@mythologyandhistory yeah, that makes sense, but it still seems implausible to me that security for one event that lasts an afternoon needed to cost a fifth of a billion pounds?

What I mostly don't understand about the #coronation is how it's possible to spend £250 million in one afternoon. They already own all the golden whatnot and the venue is provided by the church Charles is head of, so where did all the money go? It's a huge undertaking and I can believe it might cost £20m, but a quarter of a billion pounds? There's just no way that adds up without anyone getting swindled, is there?

Today is special because it's the only day you can call yourself a republican on fedi and not be immediately blocked by literally everyone
