Especially if you were hoping for your Local feed to give you anything short of a firehose of everything. Starting on smaller instances, maybe an instance formed around a topic that interests you, or you are passionate about, usually means a much more usual local timeline. From there, like @SrMono@feddit.org says, you can pull in the stuff you want from the other, and bigger, instances into your instance.
Update: Ended up chancing it, north lift was of course out of order. They have a LED panel at the elevator entrance at both the north and the south lift entrance that states the status of both the north and south lift. Why can't they publish that status on their website? If that's too hard, set up a live camera feed of that display, and embed that feed on the website.
I hear you on the Woolwich tunnel. Even more abysmal.
The fact that they can sum the trip count does witness about some kind of data coming back somewhere, but that's about it.
The page also doesn't specify if the "the last 30 days" are the last 30 days leading up to the last update of the page, or the actual last 30 calendar days, making the page information to be even less useful to base anything on, except for anecdotal observations.
They are indeed wanted in the UK. I too don't believe they will be extradited to the UK for those cases. Looks like the brothers got at least 4 years of freedom on American soil.
Episode 102 is fantastic. I couldn't believe half of what I heard in it. Wild.
