  Wonder if this is just the website not being able to cut the number in half, or whether they did this on purpose

    I feel like its on purpose but i also feel like web designers are often incompetent with stuff like that. So im undecided.

      Maybe the boss said, “Remove wordwrap in headline text for this post.”

      To be fair the browser default for stuff like this is often kind of bad. Like browsers would rather give you a scroll bar than do a word break.

    The Register kind-of models itself after a tabloid style so has deliberately jokey headlines. It’s been around a long time (I read it in the 90s) and seems to have quality underneath the humor.

    Possibly the only remaining place where you can read the word “boffins” regularly.

    Yepyep, did the same on mine, I just zoomed the page out.

    Honestly, really hope they did this on purpose, although I’ve seen plenty of cases where someone forgot to scale the text to Mobile and it went careening off-screen.
