      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.

            It does not.

      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.

      Which is why the “y’all” usage here is triggering me.

        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.

    It looks like something you could lift up, like a sewer cover or something. Some madlad probably swapped them.

      It’s an access panel. Some of them require a special tool and some require a type of key. Not sure on this one

        Are they four individual panels? Because you could swap the second and theirs panels and you’d be pretty close.

        Maybe this was originally correct and someone doing work later fucked it up. Probably on purpose.

          Those blocks were individually cut in to match the surrounding pattern, it was 100% done correctly. Those are recessed lids specifically for this, so you can hide manhole covers in block paving. Somebody definitely switched the lids later on. I’d guess the grass is where a block got dislodged and the hole filled with dust. Probably wasn’t a terrible job initially.

    The only downside is that raised bump pattern is for blind people using canes to know where crossing points are. That’s gonna mess with them to go from something to nothing to something again.

      I haven’t edited the photo to confirm but I don’t think that’s true. I think the bottom piece is installed upside down. So to fix it, you’d flip that one around and put it back in that space, then take out the next two moving vertically and switch where they are each placed. Then you have a nice straight line where the bumpy brick sidewalk ends.
