At least some bits of it do. I was writing something to pull logs the other day and the redirect was to an azure bucket. It also returned a 401 with the valid temporary authed redirect in the header. I was a bit worried I'd found a massive security hole but it appears after some testing it just returned the wrong status code.
There's a model aircraft club near to where I live (UK). They have a runway and people use it most days. In the summer they have a two day festival where people come and camp and do model plane stuff. Presumably it's the Glastonbury of model aircraft. It's quite fun to watch them fly around for a couple of hours.
Anyway, my point is that if I didn't live just around the corner, I would never have known it existed. I'd imagine there are similar setups around the country. You do need quite a big space and a runway is presumably helpful, so it probably makes sense for them to be collectively run.
Thanks. I'd love a runway to build & test experimental aircraft. This and the other comments below are great, and found an area I can fly near me (council controlled), just need paperwork first. A new project!
> a few weeks to get to the point of not wanting to smoke again
That's a shockingly short amount of time for smoking. For me, after a few weeks I'd say some of the worst cravings had passed. But for a good year or two afterwards they'd occasionally come back, albeit briefly. I quit about 15 years ago, but given the right situation I can still feel it.
I didn't actively fight it. What I did instead was note in my own head that I somehow wanted a cigarette and think to myself "OK, if I still want one in 20 minutes, I'll have one", and then went and did something else instead. An hour or two later I'd think "Oh yeah, that was weird, didn't I want a cigarette a while back?"
Very occasionally it comes back - a sunny day and a beer garden with a few pints and a pack of cigs feels like something I'd very much enjoy, for example - but it's brief and I can quickly rationalise it: "how strange a thought, for a non-smoker".

i really love how you pose that. thank you for sharing, i'm going to come back to this post for inspiration. i personally get a lot of mileage out of the "lets see if i still care about this in 20 minutes" strategy for other things like food or a screen-related impulse.
Babashka is truly wonderful and has taken over almost all my scripting projects. But the author started by saying they didn't want to use a language without types so Clojure is probably out!
I've been at an organization that went from Java to Clojure about 12 years ago. I think there were two main things that allowed us to make the move:
* No one was in love with Java. It was fine but we were doing the whole spring style super verbose Java and it felt like a lot of ceremony to get anything done. There had been an experiment with Scala previously but that hadn't taken off.
* We had a service-oriented architecture which meant we could try Clojure out on a few new services and see how it felt.
We ended up going from 2 services to moving the whole org over really quickly. A lot of excitement built up and people didn't want to be left out. At the end of things only 2 people decided they didn't want to learn Clojure.
A few other things we did:
* Bought loads of books and left them lying around
* Started a Clojure club where we booked an hour a week and did some exercises in Clojure
* Had a big meeting where we convinced everyone that Clojure was worth an experiment
* Brought in 3 consultants to do some Clojure training for everyone
* Probably strong armed everyone into watching simple made easy - it helped that lots of people had already seen it live that year
There are a few talks about it floating around although they are very very old now and I'm not sure they're worth the time!
