Britain doesn't use commas for decimal points, that's a mainland European thing.

If anything it'd probably annoy right wingers because it vocally blames humanity for environmental disaster.

Yeah I'm sure someone who doesn't think much could definitely watch the show and come away thinking vaccines are dangerous, but that's not the angle it pulls. It relies on there being only one vaccine manufacturer, that everybody takes it, and that nobody outside the scheme actually tests the vaccine.

Of course in the real world multiple companies manufacture the same vaccine and they're tested by numerous organisations, so it falls apart pretty quickly.

Still a good show though.

I recently watched Utopia, British show about a super secret group putting naughty stuff in a vaccine.

Their plan hinged on every person being so afraid of a pandemic that everybody takes the vaccine. This was made pre COVID of course, because we now know that would never work.

That's why bandcamp is one of the few places I'll willingly spend money on digital media. DRM-free downloading in flac format? Yes please.

I used to eat steak well done until I made it myself for the first time and massively misjudged the timings. Came out medium rare and it was amazing. Do it that way every time now.

But people acting like well done steak is a crime against nature is so bizarre.

Cars have (or had, I don't know if they're still included) an electric lighter that you pushed in to heat up. It was basically a little metal ring that got really hot. So I think it probably is the heat.

I remember my friend also had a plasma lighter, that unsurprisingly used plasma to light things. It made a really scary noise in the wind and hurt like a motherfucker to touch. We were 18 and dumb.
