This is a gross misinterpretation of the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment and how the lottery actually works. That said, this is genuinely a shower thought because it's logic evaporates as quickly as you dry off and put your thinking pants on.

I assume there's going to be the knee jerk reaction in this thread about not touching a classic.

No doubt the idea is classic, and combined with the writing and performances shaped American sitcom. But, I fail to see how a British version would take anything away from the original, even if it becomes more popular (very unlikely) in the same way the American version of The Office overshadowed (at least to Americans) the original British version. If anything, it would just spark a renewed interest in the original for a generation and demographic that never saw the original in broadcasts or syndication. The original is a distinctly American take on pub culture from a particular time. With a new cultural reference and a new millennium I have no doubt that there are new stories to be told. I don't think an American reboot would hit the same though, too many expectations. A British version could be allowed to be different enough to be vital. The new show may suck, but it won't be because the whole concept is a bad idea.

Don't blame Plex for that, they're just aggregating streams from other sources.

There is a certain elegance to this kind of writing. I was surprised how easy it is to read. Maybe I have an advantage because I've always made it a little mental game to read mirrored text when I see it either in an actual mirror or from the wrong side of a clear pane of glass. The utility of the ox turn method seems to shine when the inscription is on a tablet that can be held and turned in one's hands.

Further complicating matters for many Americans are HOAs, especially those with communal parking separated from the homes. Not only would I have to upgrade my panel, I'd have to pay to install a feed to my parking spaces. Thankfully for my region the law gives me the right to install this even if the HOA doesn't cooperate, but laws vary and some people will have a very uphill battle.

Watership Down by Richard Adams deserves a mention I think. It's not exactly a series, but it did get a sequel. Richard Adams also wrote The Plague Dogs and Shardik. Shardik doesn't actually take the POV of the animals, but Lord Shardik is a mythical bear that is kind of a main character. I haven't read The Plague Dogs yet, and only learned about it while checking my spellings for this comment, but everything else.by Adams that I've read has been amazing.

Despite your resolve, none of what you just said is actually coherent or shows any understanding of the above comment in context, just like an LLM.

Not what I said at all.

Fair point, but I wouldn't blame women for not complimenting men. That's still toxic men that make doing so dangerous for them.

Talking to you is like talking to a chat bot and I don't like it.

~~Not with a good set of kitchen shears.~~ sorry I misread your comment.

What part wasn't clear that I didn't explain in my previous comment?
