I think it’s more to do with it being possible evidence in an unsolved crime, at least that’s a pretty common theme here in the states

In the US its always been the standard as far as I’m aware. I think its so its impossible to confuse cents for the dollar amount if you have poor handwriting. For example mistaking the value of this check as $401 instead of $4.01

I run a CNC machine which requires XP for the control program. The only other option was DOS. We installed it via floppy

I love the grand tour, but especially in the last few specials you can tell they’re getting pretty old to be doing the kind of traveling and shenanigans that is expected of them. With clarksons farm, our man in x and the few youtube channels they have I’m ready for them to move on and embrace new avenues of creativity.

I don’t think I agree. Who watches Hells Kitchen and thinks, “man, doing extremely complex and fast paced cooking in a stressful environment with a chef who’s verbally assaulting me at every moment seems very appealing, I should change my occupation!” Aside from people with a superiority complex and a ‘Can’t lose’ mentality.

I honestly think it’s more likely to drive people away from jobs in the food industry, especially if they’re not already interested in cooking. That being said the dramatization factor is definitely there, and I would hope that most people at this stage would recognize that “reality” tv and competitions like this don’t actually represent reality at all, at least in most circumstances.
