This topic could honestly trigger the "parse regex with html" kind of reply.

I remember last week's episode on Darknet Diaries where NordVPN was offering 3y plans for a hefty discount. My first reaction was "Are they going out of business ?"

"Life ... ummm, finds a way"

A moment to process the fact that the song has suddenly started playing sloooowly too :)
