The Tesla gets stuck on beach one? It’s only paywalled if you don’t want ads and cookies.

This may be a ‘me’ problem rather than a ‘you’ problem, but… if I click a link in the ‘latest comments’ carousel, I get dropped somewhere randomly in the middle of the relevant page – not at the latest comment, or the start of the comments section, or even the start of the article to which they’re attached – just somewhere random on the page.

Could we have an update on the migration and related issues?

They’ve definitely done some moderating – I can think of two recent spam threads (is a one-post thread a thread?!) that are no longer here.

I couldn’t keep pace at 25 – 30 either, but I would have thought over that distance they would still be visible on camera for the length of the lane, sufficient to demonstrate they were not using it for access. Filming it in the car may lead to a “we may also act on offences committed by the submitter” response.

Site is getting there… I see that replies to comments are now indented to make it easier to see what’s a reply. However, when you get to the 4th (or later) level of reply, the reply content is squeezed into a comically small column.

I can’t like andystow’s video post. Did the forum have likes before?

Finally found this, after posting on an older “the site isn’t working” thread.

There is a seemingly endless loop of logging in to post, being returned to the homepage, going back to an article only to find I’m apparently not logged in again. Refreshing the page once I get back there seems to allow me to post.

Anyone else having issues with the site at the moment? I seem to be able to post here (though the forum presentation looks like it’s gone back to 2006) but can’t post on articles – tells me I’m not logged in, and logging in just returns me to the homepage in an endless loop…

You inspired me to brew some loose lapsang for the afternoon.

The bag has been in my house for a year, and I just guessed how much to use. Double standards!

I have had and continue to drink / enjoy plenty of coffee where I just chuck a rough amount [ETA: of supermarket ground] in the moka / filter. The modest home espresso machine is a recent-ish addition, but using fresh specialty coffee it’s very gratifying that what I make at home tastes better than anything short of specialist cafes.

An ode to the balance (to be read to 4 decimal places)

No weigh boats in my kitchen…

Thank you both – a distinction I was unaware of.
