TIL that the first ever speeding fine was given to Walter Arnold of Kent, UK, in January 1896. His speed: 8mph in a 2mph zone. He was caught by a policeman on a bicycle.
Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, had the dubious honour of being the first person in Great Britain to be successfully charged with speeding on 28 January 1896. Travelling at approximately 8mph/12.87kph, he had exceeded the 2mph/3.22kph speed limit for towns. Fined one shilling and costs, Arnold had been caught by a policeman who had …

I've just released a new version of MegaMegaMonitor, v108. It's compatible with v106, so you can upgrade "at your leisure" (or else your browser will probably do it for you in a day or two). Here's what's new:
Faster updates - thanks to some improvements at the back-end (and with apologies to people … -
v108 will be the first version to have the potential to support ANY private subreddit. Applications welcome to be among the first subs to get this feature.
I've got all of the core code written for v108, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all. But first, I'd like to find mods from one or more private subs of which I'm not a member who'd like to be guinea pigs for a new feature.

Hi all!
So apparently everything broke for a lot of people after I released v106. The problem …
