Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, dies during interrogation in Israel
You don't die during interrogation with regular breaks for food, water, sleep etc. You die during torture

If we were to be devils advocates for a second here.. if you knew that the terrorists that you're trying to wipe out would steal any fuel you send in, but everyone keeps telling you to do it anyway, would you send 9000 litres and resupply your adversary or would you send a few hundred litres and record what happens to make a point?

Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in real money.
So a user issue 2.50 to buy a gold, then the receiver can cash out 1.00. So Reddit aims to make 1.50 for every gold awarded
Absolute scam

British tourist sentenced to three months in Dubai jail for ‘insulting’ airport staff
Reply in thread
You wouldn't have your sentence increased from a fine to a prison sentence for trying to appeal against it though. Let's not pretend that the legal system in Dubai and UK are similar

Just because you have a big country doesn't mean you can claim most functioning rail system. USA has the most km of track, but if you adjust to per capita it's 20th. That is a better judge

...So I Finally Quit Spotify
And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.
As the author states in the previous paragraph, Spotify pays 0.003c per stream. I don't think the author has done the maths. 1000 streams equals 3c. He's complaining over not getting paid 3c as if that will fund his career

Transport secretary considers ban on floating bus stops in UK cycle lanes
Well I think the stupidity of the proposal is summarised here:
There is also some doubt about the safety case for a ban. In London, which has the highest number of floating bus stops in the UK, statistics for 2020-22 showed that of 623 pedestrians injured after being struck by a bike, 0.6% of them – four in all – were hit at floating bus stops. None of these incidents appeared to have happened at a designated crossing point. Over the same period, 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured after being hit by motor vehicles.
