Why would you do it at noon? It should be midnight.

Edit: duh, I realise now it's a shitty LPT.

Google Photos too, apparently, if for some reason you're willing to give up your personal information to them.

Yeah, Apple does too. Used it to exclude my ex-wife when I met my new wife :)

My bank used to require internet banking passwords to be exactly 6 alphanumeric characters. Turned out that the reason for that was that they used the same password for internet and phone banking, and by implication the passwords were actually just 6 numbers.

This was in the 2010s, mind you.

It's an Apple Photos feature. It can be enabled or disabled in Settings -> Apps -> Photos -> Featured Content.

It will pull together photos of a person or animal over a period of time, a set of photos from a particular date, a group from a place, or similar and make them into a slideshow.

Sometimes it comes up with good ones (I get quite a few of my daughter and my dogs) and sometimes they're hilariously bad or random/contrived.

Can't say they've ever really made me sad, but I may not be in the same stage of life as the OOP / not looking for internet joke points.

This is the first I've heard of Branston beans, but now I'm excited to try them when I'm back in England in a couple of weeks.

I was there for Christmas and bought a relatively huge jar of pickle before I remembered I wasn't going to be able to fly with it. A lot of pork pie was eaten that day.

This comment really confused me after reading 6 about bum-washing.

Interesting. Everywhere I've lived for the last 10+ years (3 cities and a rural acreage in Canada, village in Austria and visiting relatives in various towns in the UK) has had a municipal composting programme. I just assumed it was the norm now.

Hopefully you get one where you are soon!

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but don't we already do this?

Works for a small company. If everyone in a large company is allowed the same leeway nothing could ever ship

Oh for sure. I've been lucky enough that I've only ever worked for places with at most a few hundred employees, so my experiences of larger companies have been at best second-hand — but it was enough to know that I'd never want to work somewhere like that.

So, 1/3 the production rate per tire compared to a car over 100km. Not to mention half the number of tires. I wonder how much of that is due to the weight difference alone.

It actually appears to be per bike per 100km. I find that quite surprising given it's half the number of tyres, there's substantially less initial volume per tyre than a car's and, as you say, there's a lot less weight on them.

Given their focus on MTBs, I wonder if it's related to the type of terrain being ridden (higher incidence of gravel/sharp rocks than your average road) or different tyre compounds between the two vehicle types.
