I love techno and I can't wait to read this article, but I had to stop and come back here just to say this site's scrolling behaviour is driving me nuts.

If any designers are reading this, please avoid smooth scrolling.

Did they change it? Scrolls normally in latest Chrome on Win 10?

Also works fine in Safari, looks like regular scrolling.

There's also some wacky code in the HTML. Check out the body tag:

  <body class="post-template-default single single-post postid-4483 single-format-standard bridge-core-1.0.6  qode-title-hidden qode_grid_1200 footer_responsive_adv qode-content-sidebar-responsive transparent_content qode-child-theme-ver-1.0.0 qode-theme-ver-18.2 qode-theme-beatportal disabled_footer_bottom qode_header_in_grid wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-6.0.5 vc_responsive &quot;&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-WVTMQP&amp;user%5BisLoggedIn%5D=0&amp;&quot; height=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;display:none;visibility:hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;display:none;"  >

If it's not clear, all that code is within the class attribute!
