Exactly this.

Ebbets Field Flannels is basically the only sports merchandise I buy these days but since they were bought by Lids last year, Fanatics now has a partial stake in them too. Thankfully I haven't noticed any change in product quality, but its only a matter of time.

The only reason I realized this was a thing is because a coworker blew past the initial popup about the behavior and couldnt figure out what the hell was going on.

Users don't pay attention to this stuff. And then when you have to go back and switch it to the correct behavior of using the default browser, they've buried the option in Outlook (Options > Advanced > Link Handling).

I'm a big bioreconstruct fan as well. For me, theme parks are an amalgam of nearly every technical and creative discipline in the pursuit of telling some sort of story that you can walk through and explore yourself. Watching that all come together and seeing all the behind the scenes work is fascinating, particularly when we are almost always kept in the dark about details until opening.
