What bothers me the most is the little patch of grass on the corner.

It reminds of the “this cell’s formula is different” visible orange tag in Excel!

This seems like one of those things I would do when I’d want to signal to my future self or someone else that it’s the right location.

“Yeah, you can’t miss it, it’s a the spot that’ll make you irrationally upset.”

If you’re on Windows or Linux, in most browsers you can press Ctrl+t and get a new tab. Maybe that would improve your day?

Yo, sweet. On Windows, you can do Win+V to access clipboard history (brings up a prompt to enable it first.)

Nice.

Back when I used Windows, the keyboard shortcuts I used the most were probably super+m (minimize everything), +d (show desktop), +r (show run dialog); in browsers, Ctrl+t (new tab), +shift+t (reopen most recently closed tab), +tab (switch between tabs); alt+tab (switch between windows), +space (open window menu, not sure what it’s called); shift+F10 (open context menu or, if in the installer process, open command prompt).

In Linux most of these work in most modern desktop environments, but super+r is usually alt+F2. Relatively recently I learned about alt+` which switches between windows of the same type. Don’t know if this also works in Windows. Also, I don’t know if one would consider it a key shortcut, but alt+click anywhere in a window drags the window so you don’t have to move the cursor to the title bar. Middle click usually pastes the last block of text you highlighted. Note that, due to the nature of Linux, none of these are guaranteed to work in every installation.

I have limited experience with OSX, but it seems like many of the shortcuts work if you replace the modifier key with the command key because Apple needs to be special.

  • Double yellows
  • The kerb
  • Colour of the asphalt
  • The masonry
  • The foliage (one of them things you don’t realise you notice)
  • The knobbles so blind people know where to cross the road
  • The four lids

You can see the yellow line at the edge of the carriageway which is pretty distinctive for the UK plus the dimpled tiles on the pavement are pretty much unique to Britain.

Also having carriageways and calling the paths that people walk on “pavement” are pretty much unique to Britain.

Australian y’all user checking in. It’s not my fault there’s no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant “yous” has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

Anyway, thanks y’all, I’m going to keep using it.
