We're excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!

I don't see why my headphones need a sp-

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that's not wh-

We're proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don't ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

There's a ton of history on Wikipedia. Most of it is the council coming up with new reasons to demolish it or plans to change it, with no convincing motive.

The most notable things for me were:

  • An allegation that they want the bridge demolished to remove the trams that mar the modernity of the waterfront regeneration project nearby.
  • A mention of ~~Chinese lenders bankrolling the demolition and construction~~ a Chinese construction firm being awarded the contract for constructing a new bridge.
  • A mention of a Russian construction and design group submitting plans for transforming and relocating the existing bridge.

Oh, looking at the nearest broken edges, you might be right. I'm not familiar with wood-effect tiles.

I'd assume the same. I've had houseflies hatch in my indoor trash a few times and the casings look exactly like the pictures.

I'm weeping at the damage to those floorboards. Could they not have been lifted first?

Mark Gurman, who's normally dead on the money when it comes to Apple, thinks they're unlikely to keep up annual releases (though I should note the linked article suggests the new iPhone model schedule is unlikely to change for now).
