From the standards world, to video player implementers, I have some questions:

How do you sync subtitles and captions with media on the web? currentTime? TextTrackCue? Something else? What is your target accuracy? How reliably do you meet it? How do you test?

@mytimeactive I’ve had 3 “We hope you enjoyed your session” emails from you in the last 90 minutes and I haven’t done a session for months. I think you have a technical problem.

[Nigel Megitt (he/him) @scarynige]

@spacedoutsmiles Yeah, it’s no fun. Hope you get better soon.

[Nigel Megitt (he/him) @scarynige]

@spacedoutsmiles Happy Birthday!

Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team.

What did England do and why did they do it?

@Jack_Donaghy1 @thomasforth The population density makes this a hugely distorted comparison because Bradford doesn’t have huge areas of water that aren’t available for permanent dwellings.

@metrodle It’s fixed now!

@metrodle today’s puzzle is showing as a completely empty box except for the pulsing green circle. Maybe there’s a little known “nowhere” stop in the system?!
