We've just switched to workday which has exactly this problem and it's confused SO many people. bank holidays are now taken from that balance too

e.g. open.spotify.com/track/14ah4a... my Spotify wrapped will not be sharable this year

my excuse is that the soundtracks are translated into other languages, so it's good learning practice 👀

The signs are very ignorable. If it looks like a cycle route and has cycle route infrastructure at either end, it will get used as a cycle route.

amazing, absolute peak hobby goals. super interesting to see the kit he's using too - I'm trying to do similar (smaller scale) for peak district footpaths using a phone camera and the results are mildly disappointing

Last I went they gave you an hour free. Turning on non-persistent MAC randomisation meant you could get another free hour by disconnecting and reconnecting. And I swear the walls are a cage to prevent you using your own data...

there are some (Derbyshire) roads near me where residents have just put 20 stickers over the 30 sign, which is at least some solution

"city of the car". the redways are lovely tho, you can walk and cycle everywhere fully segregated from the roads. if you have the legs for it.

Back to being not the same time as in France! There was just an hour where French and English clocks said the same number. Terrifying. All fixed now.

Some digging later...

it looks like steam discounts it to £4 every few months, and then returns it to £42. I look forward to playing it in about 2 months' time 🙃

the base game, somehow never heard of it. but £42 is way too much for an impulse purchase

how am i just coming across this game on bluesky. that looks amazing. immediately onto the steam wishlist

I call them tannoy too. Today is when i learned it's a local brand name that's slipped into normal vocab.
