But you can't just pair two entirely unrelated hyper-palatable things as some kind of gotcha. No one pairs fish fingers with gummy worms because that's an absurd idea, but plenty of people will pair fish fingers with potato gems, because they're delicious separately as well as together.

No one is saying that marketing isn't a factor here. But to ignore the combination of cheap, easy, and tasty misses a big part of the puzzle, and if we're going to fix the problem, you need to consider all aspects.

Did the guy ever tell you why he randomly stopped after merging into a new lane? Pretty clear from the video that you weren't "overtaking on the shoulder", but rather avoiding a collision caused by someone behaving erratically.

I don't disagree with any of the technological suggestions in the article, but one glaring omission is how much productivity is being impacted by climate change. Perhaps it's something to consider the next time rural areas vote for the Nats or Libs.

That's fair. I was thinking more about the overall aesthetic, as it's a bit more stylised rather than leaning towards realism like in 1 and 3.

They are remaking the first game, but I don't know if there are enough details about it yet to know how extensive the overhaul will be. The second game doesn't need one.

There's also the fact that hardware costs keep going up, but there's not really a big technological leap between generations anymore. There's little reason to buy into the next generation when the selling point boils down to "Play the same games, but slightly smoother*!"

Part of my enjoyment is not necessarily knowing what is coming next so that I can experience it for myself. Spoilers won't completely ruin something for me, but it is taking something away from the experience.

Also, to everyone out there, just tag the spoilers so people can make up their own mind what they read. It takes a bare minimum of effort to do so. It's akin to holding the door open for someone behind you, it's not going to be the end of the world if you don't, but it can make someone's day a fraction better if you do.

This could be a smart move by the UK, assuming they will be pursuing new trade deals in preparation for whenever Trump backflips on this.

But this is the country that is famous for the incredible own goal that was brexit, so...

So let me get this straight. JD Vance visits the pope, the pope then dies, and now they've elected an American to replace him? Seems suspicious.

I'm completely fine with increasing defence spending, let's introduce a wealth tax and close all those tax loopholes to pay for it. And then all the leftover money can go towards societal improvements.
