Yes, science can save lives.

Arrival fallacy: the quiet illusion that happiness lives at the destination—only for you to arrive and realize it was always meant to be built along the way.

@80s_Kidz Those were the days. RIP mtv!

MTV officially shut down its 24-hour music channels yesterday. They ended their final broadcast with 'Video killed the radio star' by The Buggles, the very first video broadcasted by MTV on August 1st, 1981.

@paddycosgrave I think Web Summit moved out of Dublin for this same reason? Come back to Dublin again pls 😎

During Web Summit next week, some Lisbon hotels have raised prices by over 100% compared to the following week. With demand for 4-star hotels in the city centre above 90% - 98% full as per Booking.com data see details below - I would suggest these huge price increases are understandable and reasonable. BUT, BUT when certain hotels hike prices by more than 300%, and sometimes 500%, compared to their normal November rates, and then complain publicly about guests turning to Airbnb, it’s hard to sympathise. Some Lisbon hotels have priced themselves out of the market and now blame Airbnb for a lack of demand. Those hotels only have themselves to blame. But even these hotels’ claims don’t add up. In the case below for example, the price per night for a room the week after Web Summit in this lovely 4 star hotel is about €130 per night, but during Web Summit week it’s over €700 per night. That’s inflation of ~570%. There are lots more examples, see below. I have no sympathy for hotels who do this, and then also complain, despite Booking.com data suggesting occupancy for these types of hotels being at 98% for the week of Web Summit. I call bullshit on any hotel or hotel federation trying to distract people or confuse journalists from the reality that there is a problem with price gouging by SOME hotels in Lisbon. The data is clear. Most Lisbon hotels are great!!! Most Lisbon hotels are doing great, as per Booking.com data. But there’s always SOME who become blinded by greed, and have the brass neck to still complain. Enjoy next week - wherever you are staying - the weather is looking increasingly better. ☀️ ❤️

Prime numbers can be found in nature. For instance, some cicadas live for a prime number of years, like 13 or 17 which is thought to be an evolutionary strategy to avoid predators.

a friend’s father had a minor stroke this week. he’d had one before, less than 10 years ago. when he was taken to the same doctor, at igmh, the doctor said there was no record of his prior stroke. so, i think having a cd is a good thing.
