That's saying something, since the book was pretty bad to begin with.

Well you mentioned they didn't choose any languages in their settings, so I was wondering how you knew that.

Furious MAGA Customers Say They Got ‘Scammed’ by Trump Watches
“My daughters ordered a Trump watch and after 5 months of waiting have not received anything. It’s a shame this company is not holding to President Trump’s high standards. This was a present for my 80th birthday!” wrote one MAGA supporter on July 14.
Nope, no intelligence was found here.

The hobbits were the chickens all along
Frodo was Gandalf's chicken. Realistically, how much damage to Middle Earth can one evil hobbit cause?
Edit: Just saw the title.

Mom of child dead from measles: “Don’t do the shots,” my other 4 kids were fine
She literally lost a child and is still antivax. These people are beyond saving. The goal now should be to make sure they don't take the rest of us down with them

TIL the country that eats the most pizza per capita is Norway.
Ironically, the most popular frozen pizza in Norway, Grandiosa, is considered something of a national dish. It's also one of the worst frozen pizzas you'll ever try, and is mainly popular only because of nostalgia.

Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret
This is a problem for somebody reviewing phones, but how much of a problem is it actually for the average user who will change phones once every few years? And will probably be doing so at a phone store where they can support it.

High outlets
As several people have mentioned, it's for lights. The reason is, in Norway any electrical work needs to be done or certified by a licensed electrician. Since light fixtures are a fairly commonly replaced item, the current trend is for ceiling mount points to come with a nearby electrical plug so you can switch out a light fixture without shelling out for an electrician. These power outlets are connected to a switch elsewhere so you can flick the lights on and off like normal.

American ambassador to Italy refuses to live in the official US residence in Rome. Instead, he stays on a yacht and helicopters to work.
Yet, within just a few months of being sworn in, Fertitta has allegedly complained to Trump about a swarm of self-styled Italian and American emissaries and makeshift middlemen eager to influence relations between Rome and Washington.
It's almost like we need an ambassador there to deal with these people.

Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer
Reply in thread
In the Reddit thread about the rejected NSFW updates, Crimson Delight have only good things to say about Valve's handling of the situation. "I have to say the reviewer was kind and forthcoming, we didn't feel threatened or bullied in any way, and we got the feeling they were trying to do their best to help devs navigate the process," developer Frenzin writes. "But the fact of the matter is that Valve has payment processors breathing down their neck, and the rules keep getting stricter as time goes on."
"Valve isn't the problem here," Frenzin continues. "The big credit card companies are. If anything, Valve has stood up to them and pushed back. They could've simply nuked the 18+ section of Steam, but they didn't, they stuck up for developers. Obviously adult games make Valve money, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of Steam's catalogue. Silksong itself probably earned Valve more than most NSFW titles put together.
"Given that we're erogame devs, we're against any sort of censorship (as long as the content isn't sexualizing minors or nonconsensual in any way)," the developer comments. "But it's important to understand where the real problem lies, and it's not with Valve."

the local will outlast us all
How does this guy know enough history to know the age of the US, but not that other countries were around before it? At the very least you'd think he knows it started as a colony.

Billionaires emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime.
Warning: Unpopular opinion coming up
This is a ridiculous metric. They measure carbon emissions not just by what the billionaires are consuming, but by what their investments (businesses, factories, etc) are producing. This is akin to the world blaming China for their grossly inflated per capita emissions, while conveniently ignoring that it's actually being consumed by other countries and it's just shifting numbers around.
There are plenty of legit reasons to hate billionaires, there's really no need to be making up new questionable ones that can be torn apart.
