    Can I ask why you posted the article from this particular site? not criticising you if it was a random pick, but I've seen the exact same story numerous less chudy places you could have used, and it's in the CoC to avoid chud sources

    It was a completely random pick and I didn't bother doing some deep dive into the site. If you have a different site you'd prefer, then feel free to link it and I'll update the post.
