More praise for #Postpass, the modern replacement to #Overpass

Also, because we're truly living in the future, this uses Postpass from @geofabrik to pull data each night.
TV ad voice: Overpass troubles have you pulling your hair out? Postpass may be right for you!

The Global view for MascotMap can now run against Postpass. It's crazy fast. Still working out why subregion queries are crazy slow. Computers.. amirite?
You can try it yourself!
I am trying to work out how to get MascotMap pulling from Postpass. My current best result is that Postpass takes twice as long as Overpass to return the same data. Hopefully I can nerdsnipe someone into showing me a more efficient query.
Fortunately, I am an absolute noob so it's probably easy to do something better!
Today's work lunch conversation was about duplicate place names. So naturally I looked at #OpenStreetMap to see how common it was (#postpass to the rescue!)
OK this is much more common than I thought. (This is all `place=*` excl `p=locality` & `=isolate_dwelling`)
