"Here's an idea: sell your food without a platform where people can leave reviews and feedbacks online.

There will always be some insufferable assholes who will leave a bad review because you didn't kiss their ass, or kiss it enough. Or some jealous rivals trying to sabotage your business. Or some bored youths during the school holidays pranking you.

It's all distraction and noise, not valuable feedback to help your improve."

"It's fun to pee onto these standing wall urinals. You can shake your hips and spray your urine to cover as much surface area as possible, then watching the liquid slowly cascade down the sloped surface. You are the artist, and the urinal is your canvas."

The king has a tricky diplomatic role to play in inviting Trump for a state visit​

As monarch, King Charles III is bound by constitutional convention to remain politically neutral. But that hasn’t stopped the UK government from deploying the king to advance its foreign policy agenda.

During their inaugural meeting, Keir Starmer presented Donald Trump with a letter from the king, inviting the president for a “truly historic” and “unprecedented” second state visit to the UK and a visit to the monarch’s private Balmoral residence.

Later that week, the government arranged for the king to meet Volodymyr Zelensky at the royal countryside retreat of Sandringham, to show support for the Ukrainian leader following his disastrous meeting with Trump.

The government is walking a tightrope: it wants to avoid tariffs from Trump, while continuing to support Zelensky and Ukraine. And it is using the king to help it do so.
