Yeah. We were all sold the lie that interest would track inflation only and then as soon as everyone had to buy in, they cranked it right up.

Same! Watched the first four episodes and they're superb. The eerie music, the mellifluous narration, the sense of everyday unease. Very happy that @scarredforlife.bsky.social recommended them.

I guess the skier who was attacked was very much off-piste, and would have been fine if they had just stayed away from the snow leopard and not poked a camera at it.

Yes, very. They're high altitude specialists of the screes and slopes. They occasionally raid villages for livestock but generally steer well clear of people. An attack is unprecedented.
