From 3,807 billions in 2018 to 4,481 in 2024

At first, I had read 'shootering' and for a couple of seconds, I asked myself what the hell : shooting on skates ? Probably more fun than 'scootering' anyway...

I was watching the badminton final between the french and british guy (won by the former) I don't think I ever seen such sportmanship in defeat like Krysten Coombs showed us tonight. That was fantastic to see. And kudos to the winner Charles Noakes obviously

But in your case, that's might be a bit too much and it's killing it IMO. Probably, there is a mathematical formula that would work better

Yes, with Quentin Lafargue. It was not that bad (euro champions in 2022), don't know why it was stopped.
