Britain in a fucking nutshell. Weight is kilos unless it's people, in which case it's stone or pounds and ounces for babies; fluids are ml unless it's milk (excluding plant milk) or you're ordering it from a pub, in which case it's in denominations of pints: distance is taught in km but all roadsigns are in miles, etc.

Britain no longer has the ability to produce shells for the Challenger's gun. They don't use the NATO standard barrel either, so basically when they're out, they're out.

Edit: the source for my claim. The original link is dead, so I guess we'll just have to take the wiki article's word for it.

I wouldn't be so sure about this being brand-destroying. Activision-Blizzard and Ubisoft have been exposed as being full of harrassment and toxic work culture too, and they're still doing just fine. Maybe Linus himself will fuck off somewhere in disgrace, but the brand itself will live on. In a way, it was the perfect time for these allegations to come out as they've not long got themselves a new CEO. He can claim that he knew nothing about what was going on there, and make empty promises about how things will be different now he's in charge, etc.

You are correct to be angry. Most cultures have their own musical canon, but years of European colonialism (and the racist mindset that was born from it) convinced basically the entire world that Western classical music was the only shit that mattered. Vid rel.
