@only_ohm@mas.to It's a real thing - at least there's a bench there iirc - and the view is actually quite striking, but perhaps the other maps have more interesting things to highlight?

@brunogirin@mastodon.me.uk @SwanseaBayNews@toot.wales It'll never come to Fishguard 😂 but the mere fact of a train into London that doesn't behave like a stopper between Carmarthen and Bristol will be a game changer

Might have been wrong about the barn roost. Just had a bat fly over my head, either directly along the line of the barn roof, or it came out of the roost. Too dark now to see them actually coming out 🤔

@horenmar It might depend on how you deliver it, but I think it's a great answer. The best managers are those that not only don't get in your way, but clear the path ahead

@pinskia@hachyderm.io @pikesley@mastodon.me.uk @robinadams@mathstodon.xyz There were CSEs in Computer studies, which involved a decent amount of project work) and O levels in Computer Science (which I think were just exams) prior to to the GCSE. No idea how widely available they were. The CSE was pretty easy. I got a grade 1 with things I learned from Your Computer and Popular Computing Weekly magazines. (I'm not exaggerating - I did it as an extra off timetable, so did no lessons)

@andybalaam@mastodon.social I didn't realise that requiredment extended to apps not on the Play Store. I'm aware you bowed out of that, and the logic of that decision (which I respect) presumably leads you towards letting them go? Which is shit, frankly.

@andybalaam@mastodon.social Because the sideloading restrictions? Does that stop them working out just make installing them a massive pain in the arse?

@RolloTreadway @eleanorrees @afewbugs In the one hand, Deliveroo give you updates on the app, and knock when they arrive. Fire service very quick, but just barge in making a lot of noise, and waking the neighbours. Did put out fire, though, which is definitely worth an extra star.

@RolloTreadway@beige.party @eleanorrees@mas.to @afewbugs@social.coop After I had to call out the fire service because, you know, my house was on fire, I got a customer satisfaction survey in the post a few days later. But, yes, would definitely call again if house was on fire.
