Eating dinner later than 5pm is weird ngl
Dinner Time in Europe
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The map is incorrect. Perhaps the most notorious example of its inaccuracy is the dinner time described for Spain, which usually occurs between 9pm and 11pm.

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse.
We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures.
It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding.
A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent.
Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it.
[Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]
Even the fixture days/times prove how rigged this is to generate views.
Man United have had the fewest Saturday 3pm kick offs of the Big Six, with SAF AND without him.
With SAF: 28.8%
Since 2013: 14.2%
Friday/Monday games? Mid-pack since 2013… until 8 in 2025/26, their most in any PL season.

Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

funniest ai moment of the past couple years was a cto in a townhall complaining about people using it to write docs, and him claiming no one proof reads what they post in github readme files
10 people replied in the townhall chat saying they use ai to correct language because they're dyslexic and it benefits them
complete silence, then straight to the next talking point
looking for UK recruiters to test our startup before launch - specifically if you're a contract recruiter
what i need from you:
20 mins of honest feedback
what you get: 30% off for your first 6 months when it goes live
if you place contractors outside/inside ir35, comment or dm me and i'll send you access
if you have a job interview for a company you should do all of these things to find any information you can to help you
> search the title and company on reddit to see if anyone has shared their interview result
> search the title and company on glassdoor to see if anyone has shared their interview result
> search the title and company on blind to see if anyone has shared their interview result
> paste the job description in to claude and any other information you find from your searches
i did this for all of my interview the past year and claude guess 80-90% of the interview - providing there is enough data online for the role
i recommend this to people in my discord and many people had the same results
i ran the cloudflare security audit skill against my codebase - highly recommend trying it, it found 11 security issues
8 confirmed with failing tests, 3 of them i'd rate high priority. 9 i've already fixed
heads up: on the deeper setting it used my entire 5 hour claude usage limit and didn't even finish, i had to wait for it to reset. try the quick mode first or run it when you won't need your usage

i remember i went on a productivity arc and ditched music for podcasts - this was the first podcast i ever listened to
went straight back to music after that - couldn't believe what i was hearing, i thought this was a ceo podcast
Just seen a TikTok Shop account that's an AI girl advertising clothes
Great idea but very concerning how many 50+ men are commenting love heart eyes in the comments
"How will you get job seekers/contractors to sign up to your platform?"
I'll do what nobody else does - offer them an incentive
