The thing is, AI is plastered everywhere these days on platforms (that were already deteriorating before AI, lets be honest). A lot of people don't want to be bombed with fake content.

I also miss the creatively built small websites where people shared their hobbies etc. "Social" media killed a lot.

The web is becoming less and less genuine, it's depressing.

Maybe make it clear what it does before letting people play with it so have the test box in a 2 column layout or perhaps later on down the page? I didn't expect there was any other content/scroll on the homepage when I first landed on it.

They aren't (in EU)? Dacia Spring, Citroën e-C3, Fiat 500e, BYD Dolphin, ID.3 & Peugeot e-208 to name a few are quite a bit cheaper.

But it's a dying hobby. The biggest race is Barcelona, 1000 km or 600 miles, which birds can fly in 10 hours.

I recently built a coop and finally have a few pigeons again after not having them for almost 20 years. They are intelligent animals that are fun to keep and bring me peace having them around me.

Their support is below standards. I wonder how many opportunities Outlook businesses lose because they don't receive certain emails.

That being said, email as a whole could do with being replaced with a more robust solution to make it more versatile and offer other spam prevention techniques.
