Super fun! Obviously I wouldn’t do this on purpose because it defeats the object of the game but if you watch this on an iPhone, you can pull down the Notification Centre and it’ll show you the title of the video you’re watching as part of the media controls. The title has the year in it.
There are many, but the field is still wide open. Anyone with a particular domain experience should find a market.
There are lots of starting from scratch guides, and few focused guides.

I merely wished to engage in a lively debate as to the inherent cognitive faculties of the various races -- and had even armed myself with all manner of statistics to reinforce up my arguments! It seems my erstwhile comrades have mistaken my quest to advance the science of phrenology for a hatred of the Irish...
Speaking of such, during a rousing game of backgammon I did have occasion to refer to my opponent as a "Paddy", but I cannot believe that my use of
"That Gaming Term" could cause such consternation as to precipitate my removal.
Barring isolated systems (mines, logging) all track should be two meter gauge (78-3/4"). Although the measuring system of our neighbors across the Channel is not widely esteemed here, what we choose here in Britain will of course be widely copied throughout the World. Such a gauge would provide for the future, "future-proof", the Global system of track, allowing wider loads, greater stability for passengers, etc., it being readily apparent that rail is the future of all long distance travel.
2. This is sort of why steam locomotives needed about 8 hours of maintenance per day. Back when VHS tapes were "in", one of my favorite tape sets was restored railroad training films (ok, nerd pron, so what). One of which showed a lot of what went on behind the scenes in a locomotive maintenance facility - and why steam locomotives were limited to 8 hours of work per day: 8 hours driving, about 4 hours cooling down, 8 hours maintenance and about 4 hours of heating the water in the boiler. When diesel electric locomotives started becoming "a thing", some people said thing like "they're junk - the wheels fall off". Looking at why the wheels had such "bad" wear problems, it turns out that those locomotives were being driven 24/7, not 1/3 of the time like steam locomotives.
These are not dissimilar in style from the "100 Years Ago" sidebar in Scientific American in a past now further receding, when I made a regular practice of reading that once-estimable journal.
This isn’t quite what you’re looking for but I have a GitHub project to create various implementations, including for ethereum!

EDIT: perhaps the GitHub’s main README could include links to various implementations too!
I suppose this doesn't fit on Wikipedia, but obviously one possible cause is that Cats are aliens from a planet abut 3.4 million lightyears away, and during that 7 million year period, all the cats left Earth suddenly because their planet needed them [1]. They used a near-light-speed vehicle to get there, solved the crisis on their home planet, then returned to continue their stewardship of Earth, and then the vehicle flew back.
It appears there are no galaxies between 3.26 and 3.9 ly away. Maybe they're from Andromeda at 2.5~3 ly, and took some time to accelerate and decelerate.
It was a fun read for someone who used to live in London.
> It's taken 20 minutes to get here via seven escalators, two staircases, one ambulatory train ride and one lift. You may quibble that the train ride was a cheat and that a couple of bits weren't technically below ground, but you can't argue with the extraordinariness of such a long artificial subterranean connection.
Since it's a train in which you can walk from the last to the first carriage, he counted it as walking by walking the train while the train was going between Moorgate and Barbican. I guess technically it is walking and being underground.
Predictable angry comment about the stupidly large ad on this site for eToro: apparently my thumbs are too fat to close it, when do I get my complimentary dialling wand?
So fat in fact that it opens the ad no matter what I do, only to be told that eToro is not even available in my country.
So not only do I see a massive ad that makes the article hard to read, I can’t even close it, and it’s for a product I can’t buy.
I hate this, and everybody involved in implementing it should be ashamed of themselves.
