I'm at Diggerland right now, watching my 9 year old drive a 8.5T JCB on his own lol. This place is so much fun, I'm glad to have it nearby!

Maybe I misread it then. I interpreted it as "not low for the average person, but not that expensive _for someone with greater than average wealth_"

For most games you _don't_ study a manual for hours. Of course there are some crazy epic games for really hardcore gamers, but rule books for mid-weight game tend to take 5-15 minu…

Another consequence of this is that there's no way to share a specific "slide", which is a shame because there's an example about 2/3s of the way down that's really cool but there'…

Ctrl+Z for undo would be super helpful here, I kept doing that out of habit and it was annoying to have to go into the corner to click the undo button

I guess it would depend on what you're looking to get out of your car. I only open the door twice - once to get in, once to get out - so a small nuisance like being harder to open …

I find it frustrating that you have to click to refresh the result. Why it doesnt't autorefresh after a short period makes no sense to me. I kept typing in words and thinking it wa…
