In the context of your comment, I'm choosing to believe that that BR stands for Battle Royale.

They also get tornadoes.
In fact, England gets more tornadoes per square mile/km than any other country in the world.
But they're pissy little things that rarely do much damage.

I remember when Cristiano Ronaldo first started playing in the British Premier League.
The crowd were chanting:
"There's only one Ronaldo...AND IT'S NOT YOU!"
It was funny, but he pretty much showed them.

Ah, OK. Thanks.
I don't like it, but at least it makes sense.

> Kenmore isn't exclusively Whirlpool
Yeah. That I know.
It's just always baffled me as to why.
And it's now more baffling.
Companies, with respected names here in Europe, are being rebranded under a name created by an American store, to be sold under that less-well-known name, to European customers, where that store doesn't exist.
Obviously "money" is the answer, but I can't see how.

Holy shit. Is that why Kenmore is a thing?
I'm in Europe, where we don't even have Sears (to my knowledge), but we do have Kenmore products and they're always just other brands under the Kenmore name for reasons I never understood.

Nice.
Look at us apple bros, pushing each other into new orchardly delights.

I'll admit to that.
I've just tried so many apples over my life, and nothing ever came close to being as good as Pink Lady, so I assumed this was just one more on the pile of meh.
I just looked into it and can't find them available anywhere in my country, but they apparently launched in Europe this year, so I'll keep an eye out.

Why'd they bother with other apples when Pink Lady is there?

It's one of the hardest games to judge in terms of who'd like it or not.
I loved it, but I have one good friend that I know very well and I had no doubt that he'd hate it.
It's become one of his favourite games.
But, from what you said, it could be for you.
You can avoid most violence (apart from boss fights) and it isn't really a puzzle game in any way.

I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Pratchett was extensively well-read and referenced current events, history, and fiction more times than the average person would even notice.
But he also had a deep understanding of people and would easily come to the conclusion that a man is still a boy to his mother.
