It's almost like the entire thing is performative bullshit

Is there a "go woke, go broke" but for nazis?

Same thing with tinnitus ... your brain just filters it out

Can't relate.

I just wish there were a legal way to stream BBC content (i.e. iPlayer) outside the UK. I'd gladly pay the licence fee (as a non-resident) or more, to be able to watch all their content without having to grub around on a million different services.

Whether there'd be enough people in the same boat to be able to make up a $200M shortfall, I don't know, but it seems like it could be a pretty big untapped market.

Years ago — late 90s — I used to travel to Vermont from the UK on business. Because of the time difference I'd often wake up at ~3:30 in the morning and since there was very little to do in a hotel room in Burlington, I'd put The Weather Channel on.

Quite often they'd report on "snow coming down from Canada", or "frigid air coming down from Canada", and I always thought it was weird how they seemed to be subtly blaming another country for weather phenomena.

Dunno why I thought of that.

Anyway, electric vans. Cool.

That seems like a good move.
