Agreed - it is very similar to Google Maps.

The article is from 2023. I wouldn't be too hard on the author as it was still a novelty back then.

Similar experience with my Pixel 5 but different outcome. My SIM tray crumbled and they sent me a new phone under warranty.

This is fun. Like a cross between Bananagrams and a crossword.
Scored 26 today but I'll be back tomorrow to do better.

You can still visit Sizewell B, the plant in the article. I visited last year.
Two very knowledgeable guides led our group of 4 on a 3-4 hour tour of the facility, including the turbine hall.

Saffron is 94 USD per gram at major Australian grocery stores.
When I went earlier today, this locally-grown product was the only saffron available. https://i.imgur.com/q8z9MBF.jpeg

The bracing provided by the backing sheet makes all the difference.
Some of the simple desks the sell are nothing more than a tabletop and four screw in legs. With no bracing the desk is unpleasantly wobbly.
The very popular Ikea cube bookcases (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/kallax-shelving-units-58285/) aren't sold with a backing sheet - thankfully they seem stiff enough without it.

London prices have been high for a long time but growth has been more reasonable since the flat construction boom.
Eyeballing from a chart here (https://www.plumplot.co.uk/London-house-prices.html)
- 1995 to 2010: 300% growth (10% p.a.)
- 2010 to 2023: 75% growth (4% p.a.)

I've found it's best to use a combination of written and spoken word, when trying to communicate more, but less frequently. i.e.
- Write a set of concise, clear, well-structured discussion notes ahead of a meeting
- Give all attendees time to pre-read the notes and flag the specific points requiring deeper discussion
- Once face-to-face, discuss ONLY those flagged topics. Don't waste the opportunity for high-bandwidth communication on the notes/topics that aren't contentious.

Stop signs are blank on the back. Could you hide the text instead?

This is great.
It's beautiful, and you've explained the field of tidy tree generation really well.
I wish I had this to refer to last year when implementing something similar in VBA for Excel and PowerPoint [1]. Perhaps it's time for me to revisit!

I'd happily pay 5x the price of the cheapest product available, if I knew I was getting a higher quality product with a longer lifetime.
However, I can never tell if this 5x premium actually gets me a better core product, or just gets me better branding, advertising, aesthetics, and/or superfluous features.
So I usually just buy the cheapest and hope for the best.
Picking out my house, seeing tiny cars on a remote highway, etc. Even 100+ MP cameras and high resolution screens won't come close to that level of detail.
