Size comparison between the 3008 I was moaning about and an F-150

Size comparison of an F-150 and a Celerio. It looks about half the size. One weighs 880kg, the other 2,728 kg.

"european mind cannot comprehend"

FYI you can use the Insights > Content report in search console which will show you the rendered <title> for up to 60 URLs (you confirm in URL Inspection).

Client had a regression where <title> became CSR sitewide...

31 of these are now the placeholder. No missed assets, but an aggressive cutoff.

size comparison of a Suzuki Celerio and Peugeot 3008. The latter is 94.2cm longer.

Immediately looked up size comparison after. ~30cm wider as well. You had the opposite phenomenon but cramped in?

Returned it to the airport and got the once over and a thumbs up.

(there was a 2008 at the front of the queue where they had scraped the whole side along a wall)

Two days later got a call with the hire company name on call ID. Dread. Call begins "DON'T WORRY NOTHING BAD - how was your experience?"

I rented a car for the first time - I usually drive a tiny car that looks like a toy so went for a 'Compact SUV', which they interpreted as a Peugeot 3008. This, for me, is stretching the definition of compact.

"Any scratch over 2cm will cost you ~£2000 without our excess protection upsell"

"ok"

Today I noticed this was dropped (it's now an opt-in).

uh

The statute of limitations has probably passed on this, and I didn't work on it but....

.... remember the Panama Papers? The company that was hacked and had the data leak asked me to quote on their document management replacement.

The budget was about £2k. Easiest thing to decline working on ever

I mostly use 'train station' and will continue to do so.

I think they are attempting to close the stable door ~30 years after the horse has bolted?

Google Books Ngram Viewer for train station vs railway station in British English. Train station looks to gain popularity in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, overtaking railway station from the millennium to the present day

Baader–Meinhof phenomenon - I've started seeing people online moan in the comments "I think you meant RAILWAY station" when someone says "train station" more often I would expect.

with AI agents, you can introduce regressions faster than ever

Instead, I would sell.

Let an international hotel group deal with getting planning permission to resume the excavation and dig great holes. They can deal with the Things that have learned to walk (but ought to crawl).

It's not for me.

Even though it might be nice, I would simply not return to the Ancestral Manor left to me by my distant relative.

If your framework simply assumes that all 150 of those AJAX calls will succeed every single time and has no graceful degradation path when that's not the case, I should legally be allowed to kill you.

Recommendations Your homepage isn't indexed Inspect your homepage to see why it's not indexed. https://ohgm.co.uk/index.xml Inspect homepage

If you tell Googlebot that your homepage is a pdf, Search Console will warn you that actually a different URL is now your homepage and that it isn't indexed because it 404s.

Once the homepage is reindexed (html), this warning will not disappear. A monument to your spirit (a bit like a face tattoo).

favicons don't show up in the URL Inspection Tool's "More Info > Page Resources" section because Googlebot hands them off to Googlebot-Image

you are now armed with forbidden knowledge

I'm thinking in the context of pagination right now, because that got used as a workaround for infinite scroll / load more.

Sure the links get discovered but I'm thinking the <noscript> link would get assigned essentially nothing from never being shown to the average user.

>5 years just means every response starts with "when I used to work at..."

Remember when people would be prompting like "you are a world class SEO expert with 5 years of experience", and the obvious response was "why not 10? 15? 100?"

The initial 5 year prompt is optimal - >5 years of exposure and the human mind crumbles, becoming delusional - e.g "I'm better than ever!"

"Links within noscript get discovered, but those links don't transfer PageRank." - my brain

I cannot remember if my brain is right or wrong here
