everyone with such a close mic and heavy isolation is one of the worst things about the internet, other than everything else

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

The front cover of a report: MEDIA GUIDELINES FOR REPORTING ROAD COLLISIONS Report author: Laura Laker the cover has a picture of london with a row of bike racks, some red double decker buses and taxis on a road beside it. there are also several clippings from newspapers about car crashes. the cover is ugly and badly designed

does anyone have any good resources on how reporters should write about car crashes? el mercurio does good work on this, but i’m going to email them to say a drunk driver killing a child isn’t an accident

yugoslavia was a bit of a sporting powerhouse though, it just took a few years for the different nations to get their act together again?

it is a significantly better experience all round than the gopro max, but their accessories do what it says on the tin

my accessories are all chinese… the one issue i had with the cage is that the screws shook out pretty quickly. got some new ones and superglued them in and no problems since then. weird things aren’t designed to survive the things they’re sold for
