Or maybe just going to any train/bus station gives you the timetables for all of them, so you don't have to add another thing.

Def ran into issues on my second play - there were no trains from Waterloo, nor any boats from Plymouth or Portsmouth.

Shows a lot of promise. Can't wait for it to improve some of the core systems just a little, will be very addictive.

Hit a wall going to Plymouth when I should have gone to Portsmouth, but had no way to check which one had the ferry I needed.

Couple of minor bugs - I can click banks / hotels and use them without being near them, also many hotels in ex Paris do not show up as usable, neither does the Paris metro. Still, super fun to play.

Do you think H1B visa holders looking to move to a Green Card (in coordination with their employer) should be concerned about rejected applications or other issues?

Should folks on H1B visas who have an ongoing green card application via PERM be concerned at all?

Would you advise not traveling until the i-495 is filed?

I've been advised that any feature development is R&D, even if it's not technically novel.

This doesn't line up with my internal view of what R&D is, but curious if this is how everyone else is dealing with it?

I run Beekeeper Studio.

Here's why I price like I do:

I can't keep the lights on with one time payments, period. I just don't make enough money.

However as a consumer I prefer them.

My compromise is a subscription that provides a permanent benefit after 1 year. Access to any version of the app released in your subscription period. Forever.

I think it's really fair, and when I made the change I saw an immediate uptick in sales.

Renewal is still opt out though. Defaults matter.
