You mean because businesses don't pay VAT? In that case it makes sense to not include it.

It's also for learning English, which is something a large language model is probably the most suitable for. It's not going to be much use teaching music or drama.

Just in case everyone doesn't already know, urine can provoke jellyfish stingers to release even more venom. Use vinegar or rubbing alcohol instead, or, falling that, seawater.

My favourite bit is this from the comments:

I wrote "please do not deliver this letter" on a correctly addressed and stamped letter once, it never arrived. A thrilling day indeed.

(edit: I see I missed the part about being fun, but I don't know of better alternatives)

I learnt with the one on the main site, "the Rust book" which is good for explaining concepts and is (or certainly was) considered the standard textbook.

Rust by Example is good for a quick start in how to do various things, but imho is most valuable for experienced programmers and as a cheatsheet-style reference.

Once you start writing your own code, it's useful to look at Blessed.rs to show what are the fairly standard options for basic libraries for logging, http, etc that you might have expected to be in the standard library. It's useful to be pointed at something that's good enough instead of spending hours investigating the various competing crates.

Unfortunately, someone gave me a fish instead, so I can only eat for a day.

I love Doom Bar and I'm not alone since it's among the bestselling cask ales in the UK, but it seems that the US owners are going for a quick payout by closing and asset stripping what's left.

I wonder how long until they start building houses or an industrial park on the old site?

This video covers Great Ormond Street Hospital, Quality Street and copyright special cases.

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

An Australian YouTuber got invited to a NATO wargame and made this very interesting video about it.

The section that starts at 3m30s (10 minutes long) discusses the military history of wargaming which I found fascinating.

The rest of it is also well worth a watch.

It's not new (it sat in my watch later list for a month since it's 65 minutes long) so apologies if you've already seen it.

My personal domain has hundreds of aliases - one for each site I deal with. This is great for identifying the source of spam, and I retire any aliases that get spam.

haveibeenpwned.com lets me add a domain, but wants 3912 USD a year to actually tell me which addresses leaked. This is obviously an insane price for a nice-to-have.

Is there an alternative for free or very cheap? A self-hosted tool that would pull down lists would be great, but I suppose those lists aren't public.

“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.

If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?

Watermelons became symbols of Palestine amid censorship of the Palestinian flag because of its similar colours.

Ah, ok - before reading I thought someone had got their stereotypes mixed up.

This reminds me of Charles Babbage's response to being asked if his computer would give the right answer if the wrong numbers were entered:

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I've been tempted to drop this line in meetings more than once.

The North Yorkshire power plant, which burns wood pellets imported from North America

So the trees are grown in America, processed in America and then transported across the Atlantic before getting to Yorkshire? That must use up all the carbon budget before it's even burnt, surely?

It's an increase in reported monthly users, as now activity like voting is also considered, not just posts/comments.
