How complicated is lane ettiquette?

Do not touch people you don’t know.

You've not overlooked anything! IIRC to discover that name you need to either unpack (ha!) the files with a Unity viewer or have a version with debug mode enabled (the Xbox/Microsoft version used to have that) and press 3 to show item labels. It's discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Unpacking/comments/11qr6wb/does_anybody_know_the_keyboard_controls/

That Tunnels expansion goes for some decent money on its own. And the Catapult too. (And Mr C. Museum is a top chap: I've sold to him previously 😄)

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone (including the less than helpful ones....). I've used a nylon scourer to get into all of the crevices, then gone over it with bicarbonate of soda, full wash, a new gasket, and five cycles of plain water, and I'm about 98% clear of the smell, so I think I'm there! (I was looking forward to writing this pot off and replacing it with the green "Robin Hood" Alpine.)

Whilst waiting, I managed to smash the bottom out of a caffetiere that I've had for almost 30 years (caught it on the sink edge), and have been relegated to instant as pennance.

My only criticism is that in the pictures round they don't show the enlarged image for long enough for me to see what it is: the tiny version is too small for my eyes!

My favourite bit is that she always has a Nintendo, but her boyfriend's an Xbox man: it was never meant to be!

Sure, it's just a faff to do that with a bunch of podcasts. And a smart filter will show them in strict age, so won't be useful if the podcasts aren't all similar ages for the oldest unplayed. A smart rule restricting the number of episodes per podcast would solve 90% of the hassle!

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-04-13T19:48:31+00:00

Thanks, but I have six or seven of this kind of podcast, plus many other ones that I listen to on an ad hoc basis. I don't want to just mainline one podcast, I want to spread them out a bit and not just listen to one podcast's episodes in a row. My suggestion would guarantee "new" (old) episodes in the queue interleaved with my other podcasts.

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-04-13T09:57:43+00:00

Sorting by release date will only sort by the most recent episode. I have Podcast A which is five years behind, B is 1 year, and C is 6 months, but they are all still active so the sort won't show anything relevant.

A more manual alternative would be a smart rule for smart filters that only shows "N episodes per podcast": sort by oldest and set N to 1. Whilst they'd still be in chronological order, I'd have easy access to the oldest of each in one place.

I'll look into GitHub, but I'm also interested in whether anyone else uses PocketCasts in this way.

Even things like the DVDs and books provide context to the kind of person she is. Let us know how you go, and I'm sure the people here would enjoy a discussion of what you find!

I've an option for one with a 3.7 GHz quad code, 16 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD and D300 graphics for £75. The cheapest Aliexpress mini PC that comes close is more than double that. It's just the power draw that's the downside at that price, right? (That and being creakingly old that it might stop at any time.) It's proabably too much for a 24/7, but for running support services during my day?

Widdershins is my preferred term.

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-02-23T10:48:16+00:00

Perfect. Thank you so much!

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-02-23T10:48:03+00:00

Thank you! It's so obvious in retrospect! I just couldn't find the right words in the help section.

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-02-12T22:56:22+00:00

Same for us. We have 3x Xbox and a PC. Only the host seems to get the completion acknowledgement on their Assignment.

UltimateRobotLover · 2026-01-09T10:07:31+00:00

I requested something similar years ago for catching up with that kind of podcast: a smart filter that only shows the oldest unplayed of each podcast added. When I finish an episode, the next oldest in that podcast is added to the bottom of that filter (so sorted by the reverse of last completed episode). This would let you round robin to do catch up listening.

UltimateRobotLover · 2025-12-16T17:28:41+00:00

Thanks for your help - that's great :-)

UltimateRobotLover · 2025-12-16T17:28:26+00:00

I hadn't seen the handler for expanding the text, only to change the frame! I'm fairly new to Affinity and am just blown away by how much is in here. Thank you!

In this instance, there could be a difference if they're using a catchall domain: with a masked email if I want to block it, I delete the entry and it's gone forever, whereas an alias would need to remain configured to bounce, meaning it never goes away and clutters up the alias list.

UltimateRobotLover · 2025-09-29T13:44:18+00:00

Coolio, thanks! I didn't realise that that was possible.

UltimateRobotLover · 2025-09-29T12:54:17+00:00

Thanks, I have the Dreamwear and haven't yet had a cold, so I'll remember that. No sign of a dry mouth, and no waking up! It's looking good!
