It seems that's another Boombastic*, where the repetitive refrain can't compensate the verses. It's just a 64%
*It's a safe bet this sentence has NEVER been said before in human history

Shaggy's Mr Boombastic struts in with confidence, but falls flat with a 64,6% compression rate. I guess repetitive chorus don't matter when verses are packed with quick rapping.

Ok, Very Important Science: which song lyrics compress better with Z-lib (i.e. are more algorithmically repetitive)?

But the most memorable moments will obviously be in the first half of the route, most notably with that half-way break at the highest rotenburo (open air thermal water tub) in Japan... and all the spots where I could hike without the fear of death 😄

Fun hike last weekend: 23 hours to cover the whole 50km/+4000m span of the Yatsugatake mountain range. A few challenges, from narrow crossings with chains, strong winds and "the longest suspended ladder in the world"...

Florence Foster Jenkins got known in the 40s as the worst opera singer ever.

How that affects the age rating has shifted with time. First it bumped it up to 12, then 16 and in later years 18.
We can argue if that's appropriate or they are overreacting but in the end PEGI is a recommendation. We don't have a history of gambling […]
