It’s such blatant AI writing, too. All the classic AI-isms present and correct.

Shit article, shit website.

‘My experience is the only possible experience.’

Firstly, it’s not over - in the UK it will cause big storms and potential flooding into the winter.

Secondly, the whole point is to encourage long-term disaster planning. Saying ‘we’re fine until next time’ and then panic buying on the cusp of the next event is exactly the thinking they’re hoping to address.

The original epic was also made for entertainment.

Albums as monolithic artistic creations definitely peaked in the 70s-80s, but albums as a simple collection of songs have existed for almost as long as recorded music. Until the late-1960s it was the norm; we’re just experiencing a return to that being the dominant format.

Agreed. There’s so much pointless elitism and snobbishness in this thread; very disappointing from so-called music fans.

That happened back in the day too. Low effort releases are nothing new, we just ignore/forget all the bad stuff and end up with rose-tinted glasses.

They cover most major towns and cities in the UK.

It’s a reference to British road maps. They were ubiquitous before satnav became commonplace - everyone with a car had at least one copy stuffed in their glovebox.

Honestly, if Musk is against it I’m more inclined to believe they’re doing something right.

Regardless of how you may feel, the statistics are not in your favour. Just compare gun deaths per capita in the US vs a country like the UK and it’s clear that the US approach to gun control (or lack thereof) is insane.

Carrying a knife, other than a folding pocket knife, without ‘good reason’ is already illegal in the UK.

What they’re talking about is removing the exception for the kirpan.

You take that back - this bland monstrosity posing as a Ferrari doesn’t have a tenth of the personality of a Jensen Interceptor.

Yes, EVs come with a lot less maintenance and running costs. You’ll have to excuse the Facebook-quality image, but this does neatly sum up the main differences:

But the internet taught me that being cynical is cool! It’s all I know!

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the outbreak an international emergency, with the DR Congo’s health ministry reporting around 350 suspected cases and 91 deaths.

And yet half a dozen Americans are apparently important enough to warrant the entire headline?

Americans have a bizarre fixation with ‘perfect’ teeth. The ultra-white, ultra-straight look is uncanny to me.
