What the HELL is wrong with Sabine? She not only has no clue about amount of European science and high tech (surprisingly, AI is not the only tech humanity produces), but as well she says she would move to the UK... Which means she has no idea what goes on here (or was it just a sarcasm, don't know)

The wider picture of modern human hunt can be imagined with this article about investigation on rich people paying to come to Bosnia to shoot civilians.

As well, we are wondering now if one can buy such a tour to russian army to chase people with FPV drone accross front line in Ukraine

Despite happy faces of the people in the video, these rich riders in uniform, this entire hunt ceremony freaks me out. It is so out of modern world, it is so long way back from all democratic and societal advances of last two centuries. I just don't understand why this still happens!

This is a perfect case of failed product management. We use Vinted a bit and I can confirm: new size system made search entire mess.

And for worse, instead of admit the mistake, roll back and learn from it, company decided to bulshit its users with "we did deep research and that is what you need"
Vinted users outraged by sizing changes
The popular second-hand shopping app has changed how sizes are categorised.

The friend of my daughter told her our dishwasher is a sign of a luxury life as well as full fridge because we just did shopping for a week.

At the same time, she has an iPhone and her family has a car and their mother or aunt go shopping a bit every day. Which I consider a luxury myself.

Just out of my interest I once went to see OnlyFans content, and I have just one question. Why on Earth people really pay money for this sad and boring shit? I mean, you go to PornHub, you get thousands of years of porn non-stop of any thinkable type for free or even more for a small fee. Why OF?

Because of Trump's direct request (sic!) the price of weight loss medicine will almost triple four British patients.

Trump didn't request the price to be lowered for Americans. He doesn't care about American people, he cares exclusively about the profits of business.
Cost of weight loss drug Mounjaro may rise significantly
The recommended UK price will rise by up to 170%, although the impact on consumers could be more limited.

Our council chooses to pay tax money for uniforms for the poor instead of asking schools to scrap this stupid "tradition".

Actually, the NHS finds uniforms and formal shoes bad for children's health, but why schools or councils should care about what doctors think on the matter?

Vibe coding at its best. They commited hundreds of thousands of lines of AI-generated code during a few years to realise that code was shit. That means no reading code one commits, no real reviews, no expertise, no ownership. And now he admits they have to rewrite a lot and AI code is bad.
