Interesting, if only to show that there hasn't been any major innovations in Western electronic dance music in the last decade...
but it doesn't represent the sheer diversity and cross-pollination in electronic music that has been happening in recent years, leading to a wide variety of pretty-much uncategorisable, but incredibly interesting, music, including some amazing stuff coming out of Africa.

genital claspers
Males court females by laying his forelegs across her for between 10 minutes to 1 hour, after which he climbs onto the female and attempts to clasp onto her sub genital plate using his genital claspers. If the male successfully attaches to the female, mating begins when the female's operculum opens and the male inserts his genitalia. Males remain attached to the female for extended periods, ranging from one through to 10 nights, during which they may mate multiple times. (Wikipedia)

After years and years of iPods, iPhones, iPads and more recently Macs doing exactly the same thing, airpods seem an odd target for this.
Also I look on airpods as a quick marker of the gullible. If you're going to be spending £140 on disposable earphones, then maybe you should have a word with yourself.

The Evil Fuckers do this on Purpose
Notes on Replacing the keyboard on a MacBook Pro Retina 2015 (A1398)
This is of course a pretty straightforward repair, right? After all keyboards are replaced routinely in most models. So on most laptops we’d think maybe 15 minutes should cover the labour. Not even close.
The keyboard is held in place with rivets, lots of them, 105 I think. The have to be ripped out which destroys the keyboard, but at least that’s already broken. These will be replaced with 105 small self tapping screws which you can buy for just this purpose.
It’s not over just yet though. To get to all the rivets you also need to remove the battery, which is a multi-section Lithium-ion job and of course it’s glued in place with super strong adhesive. If you are lucky to prise this out in one piece without it exploding in your face you are good to go. In all this shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours, and there is only a small-to-medium risk of you terminally damaging the battery or chassis in the process of carrying out the repair.
I’m now going to choose my words carefully as Apple has lots of lawyers and they are mean and vicious.
Apple: WTF ARE YOU DOING YOU STUPID F***S.
Since when did a keyboard become a non-replaceable part in a laptop? Are you really telling us that a slip of the prosecco glass means a trip down to the Apple store to buy a replacement £2700 laptop?
Designing laptops that can be serviced isn’t hard – until recently Apple’s batteries were secured by screws, and even Apple’s notorious keyboard-of-a-thousand screws was replaceable without causing physical damage to components if you were prepared to put up with the swearing from the workshop techs. It’s almost as if you were purposely designing laptops that are as hard to repair as you could possibly make them. Which I have to conclude is exactly what you are doing.

Excellently put
I've been following all the shit they've done to macbooks - which is why mine is about six years old when normally I'd have replaced it after four years. Aside from the horrendous keyboard shit - and let's not forget that the keyboard you describe can break with not so much more than a biscuit crumb in the wrong place - there is also
flexgate - display cable for monitor so short that after just over one year it breaks and fucks the display. Unlike in previous models you cant just replace the cable for a few pounds, no the cable is built into the display in such a way that you can only fix this by getting a new display - which costs $600

I often repair other people's cast offs.
The vast majority of goods have become less repairable over time.
Sure, surface mount and integrated electronics are difficult to repair but that is only a part of it.
Companies find it more convenient for consumers to endlessly buy cheaply made expensive tat.

Your thesis appears to be
that the council have spent an awful lot of money doing up the city centre (and I'll admit that it's very nice), but not much on the outer regions.
I don't see why that's the fault of the Edinburgh Festival organisers. They're not in control of council finances. Further to that, unless you can show that the Edinburgh Festival is a net drain on the local economy, I don't see how encouraging it to leave will change the situation for the better.
Nor are they in control of AirBnB and their predatory (sorry, disruptive) pricing model. That is a year-round problem, and indeed a problem globally, and is by no means restricted to the one month a year that the Edinburgh Festival is on.

I wasn't always like this
When I last went to the Fringe (with my dad) I was a bairn living in Edinburgh and it was 1974, and it was pretty good and far less commercial. What's changed since then is that it's become far more commercial. But when I last visited Edinburgh after 20 years what I noticed most is how much the Scottish whinged about the English. Seriously - even tour guides were doing it. It was never that bad as far as I can remember. Grow a pair FFS - Scotland should be proud that they regularly beat their far larger neighbour in battle on a regular basis and should be proud of that fact, instead of wasting energy in all this venom.

It has always been the same. I moved from England to live near Edinburgh when I was 5 years old and I was always a "bloody Sassenach" or worse. Pretty confusing for a kid and it led to lots of bullying through the years. It's still there as an adult but less overt. I still love Scotland but have never had any doubt about the antipathy of many Scots towards the English.

Utter rubbish. There's always somebody still banging on about anti-English feeling in Scotland, and how they've been persecuted all their life. Of course there are always a few xenophobic nutters in any country (I understand that there may be one or two people in England that dislike foreigners?) but it's daft to suggest that's anything but a tiny minority.
If there really is significant anti English "bullying", it's a mystery why so many people of English origin choose to become Scots, settling here and raising families. I have numerous neighbours and colleagues who originally hail from south of the border. I wonder why they've specifically chosen to live a life of misery here...?
I don't really understand what point the guy in the video is trying to make. Sure, some of the festival is elitist, but that's been the case since it started. There are also free events, popular comics doing shows with honesty boxes, street buskers, etc. You can just take a wander round town and see what's going on. Suggesting that an influx of thousands of tourists spending money has no indirect benefit to the wider community is plainly wrong.
Oh, and most people already call it "The Festival"and have done for years!

I come back to this every now and then.
It really is a very well observed pisstake, but it can only have come from a proper fan.

Agreed.
Anyway, Reznor's fist rate collaborative soundtrack work is proof of an enduring talent.

Oh Japan, *sigh*
First review on IMDb.
"The total amount of boob shots equals about one whole minute. It's pretty tame for a Japanese film - probably could have premiered on Japanese Nickelodeon if it weren't for it's most hilarious scene, which features a fire-belching demon vagina."

Is this the spin-off from the Onechanbara games? (not clicking)
That started off as a budget bit of PS2 shovelware ('Simple 2000 Series') along with the equally baffling 'Demolition Girl'..?

Glad I found it here, there's dull twitter people posting screen grabs, which takes all the fun out of it.

That was great
A surprisingly big database in the background too. It had the car details of my dad's old Fiat, (not the MOT history, just the car, a turquoise 127) registered in 1976, that was scrapped some time in the 1980s.

That's rather cool actually
I discovered my first car is still on the road and apparently they still haven't fixed the windscreen.
Also whoever owns the registration A1 has put it on a fucking Mini Cooper.

I was trying to figure out what the joke was, and feeling dumb for not getting it
After googling it, it looks like the good bit has been removed from the actual database :(
