Not just the UK I'm afraid, I've learned to check for it when booking hotels in continental Europe.

Looking to add more RAM on my laptop, and it really looks like it might be cheaper to buy a whole laptop and pull the memory out of it than to buy it separately.

This calls for a cuppa.
It should, it's not the first or last time it's been said.
At 15, I started skipping school to protest my home country's authoritarian regime. Shortly after, I started contributing to a citizen journalism project I co-founded, filming illegal arrests and police brutality. None of it would have been possible if I wasn't speaking to people on twitter and fb.
As an ex-child, I strongly disagree with social media bans.
For better or worse, social media is where we discuss our world. Teenagers deserve to be part of conversations about issues that they will have to deal with, like AI, climate change, the rise of populism, etc.
Opus is overkill for this kind of task.
I use OpenCode with a strong model like Opus for the main agent, which I then ask to spawn a smaller "explore" subagent that uses a cheap (or even free) model that goes off, does things, and returns the results. The main one only delegates and manages.
The irony of seeing a Russian-flagged tanker sail as close as possible to a NATO coastline in order to avoid an attack by Ukrainian drones.

The most concerning thing about this is that they could only come up with four bottles of wine. Otherwise, this is perfectly fine.
I, for one, love being told I have a moral obligation to help big corporations for free.
I've heard Russians who pronounce it as "ock", with the same meaning as the English word.
Here's a review of the "Всё ок" TV series (translates to "Everything's ok". It's one of the first words he says.

I let the building cat into my flat for a couple of hours and now it keeps meowing at my door.
We are not fighting mass shooters, we are fighting bullets from mass shooters.
Gemini 3 Pro tells me "You are not hallucinating".
Me: You are hallucinating.
The AI: Oh yeah? Well, you're not.

Despite spending hundreds of millions to steal the election in Moldova, Putin has failed spectacularly today. Here's to hoping he fails everywhere else!
This man will repeat the last thing he heard every time, without failure.
Russia is accusing "Europe" of preparing to occupy Moldova.
They are anticipating a loss in the elections on Sunday, and are preparing their supporters for protests. Every accusation is a confession.
Moscow has struggled to maintain control in Moldova. Old methods don't work. This too shall pass.
The Pro-China is throughing me off, but otherwise the list could describe one of several parties.
Russia is sending money to pro-Russian politicians in Moldova so they can pay propagandists and bribe voters.
Now the Russian FSB is investigating those same politicians for allegedly stealing 70% of the money for themselves.

With how often my flights get delayed or cancelled and I apply for compensation, I think I'm close to breaking even on my overall flying spending.
Screenshot from Claude's recent announcement of a Chrome extension. One paragraph reads: "While we’ve implemented protections, they aren’t fullproof." They are using the word "full", as in "fullness", as opposed to "fool", as in "twit".
You know what they say, nothing is ever fullproof.
How do so many clearly AI songs have a "Verified Artist" badge on Spotify? What are they actually verifying?
Transcript: Mum: Nicu hi, how are you? Me: I'm doing okay, how about you? Mum: I am learning English. Mum: And I'm cooking dinner.
My mum decided she's had enough. Understandable.
The F1 film is almost as dull as the real thing.
As the Canyon Fire continues to burn, I found that 71% of the 242k oil and gas wells in CA are in areas with a "high" or "very high" fire hazard.
When they are on fire, wells release dangerous chemicals and are difficult to put out.
Around 1.6m people (including 100k children) live close to them.
