@zachleat Have started porting my blog to Eleventy but have a question…

My current markdown files start yyyy-mm-dd-title.of.post and get translated into a URL of /blog/yyyy/mm/dd/title.of.post

Is there an article that explains how to do this in Eleventy anywhere or at least gives pointers - had a search and couldn’t find one but that might just be my unfamiliarity with Eleventy’s terms

Contracts for gym staff seem almost as predatory as those for gym customers…

The teenager has just qualified as a Personal Trainer and the typical contract with some of the big chains is… pay a monthly rent at something like £500 / month, and work for them for a say 12hrs /week which just about covers the month rent

One large gym group offered him a 'job', we asked for the contract to review and they said "we don't give you that until the onboarding process"

I'm like WTF!

Seems there's a lot of noise about the impact two mines in NC could have on silicon chip manufacturing

But as far as I can tell there are other mines / quarries producing quartzite for chips e.g. https://www.elkem.com/about-elkem/worldwide-presence/norway/elkem-tana/

And to save you following me down the rabbit hole here's the process for the conversion to silicon used in chips https://magazine.elkem.com/material-science-insights/from-quartz-to-silicon-to-silicones/#:~:text=Metallurgical%2Dgrade%20silicon%20is%20produced,a%20submerged%20electric%20arc%20furnace.

Guess it’s a case of grabbing the cob that are left and hoping the other four plants survive a bit longer
