I'm a community radio volunteer, and am wondering if this is something that applies to us or if this is a ham radio thing or something else entirely? I'm definitely not an engineer.
I started reading the version posted, saw the original was on 404, clicked on that and shared the link with my wife, and as soon as I saw the link preview I IMMEDIATELY deleted it and said No! Don't read that one! It's not redacted enough!"
So in this case I absolutely agree, the PC Gamer version was the better one to share.
As someone born and raised in the Midwest (Ohio and Illinois) and is currently a resident on the West Coast (Oregon), the way I define it is as such: if there is corn, it's the Midwest. If there are cowboys on horses, it's the west or southwest. Does your state touch the Atlantic or Pacific? That's what coast you are on (Hawaii and Alaska excepted).
I'd like to shout out community radio as well! Your town or city probably has one or you can stream them online. Local DJs playing whatever they want with no ads, just music. I volunteer for a couple and they're really fun to be a part of.
Bon Appetit has been in publication since 1956. It's unfair to call it a food blog. (I can't speak to the specifics of plastics that you referred to, just the fact of dismissing the magazine).
It's a "Thin Blue Line" sticker that people with extremely conservative politics use to "show their support" for cops (unless those cops are trying to protect the Capitol building). It's a sign that they are certainly racist jackasses.
That secret entrance behind a waterfall in the original Legend of Zelda meant that I've been checking every waterfall in every game I've ever played since 1986.
That is the ugliest child I have ever laid eyes on.
