@VirginAtlantic haven’t tried to fly with you for a few months. Used to be a frequent flyer.
Same experience. Can’t check in again, nothing of online service ever works.
Years of this - why can’t you ever make it work?!
Back to @British_Airways or @flynorse again I guess.

@bookingcom how the hell can we book two trips and nothing shows in the app?
I’ve cancelled one already. But nothing seems to stick.

@thenorthface consider me a lost customer. Your AI customer service is purely “computer says no” so I’ll be dropping your poorly made items to the local charity shop and never ordering from you again. Be more human.

@JohnLewisRetail thanks for saving my wallet today at Bluewater. No one could help us buy anything tech (apart from the snapdragon crew). Hope you
Folks have a great Christmas, must have been really tiring.

I became VP of a European multinational at 25. My salary was €680k. This was in 2022.
How did I do it?
Not hustle culture. No 4:30 a.m. wake ups, no ice baths, and certainly not working in August.
What got me there was a relentless focus on IMPACT.
Every form I filed, every disclosure I drafted had to MOVE THE NEEDLE.
If it didn’t, I wouldn’t do it. Simple.
I asked myself daily: “What’s the single most valuable contribution I can make right now?”
The answer was always the same: compliance.
I enforced it ruthlessly. Some resisted; they're not with us anymore. Most moved abroad, the fools.
After three years, the CEO (my dad, the @compliantvc) finally noticed my impact and promoted me to VP.
They even created a new department for me: The Committee for Simplifying Oversight of Committees. Funded 80% by the European Union.
There are no gimmicks. No shortcuts. Only hard work and a shared vision, executed with relentless focus. After all, it's not easy to become the regulatory superpower of the world.
And we made it.
Sustainably yours,

The story of Europe, straight from a dinner I attended: - 1960s: no products. Let’s build. Factories, real value, heavy industry booming. - 1970s: growth brings labor rights. "We built it, now let’s share it". Unions. - 1980s: marketing era. We have products, "let’s sell them better". Mad Men everywhere. - 1990s: finance guys. "Let’s trade it, flip it, leverage it". Gordon Gekko decade. - 2000s: no new production, ALT. "Let’s split what we already have". Business lawyers rise. - 2010s: crises everywhere. "Let’s regulate it all". EU as stability machine. Told by an Italian engineer in his 60s yesterday. It made me reflect and I wanted to share it "as is"...

@granborghini good work with your initiative. Made our morning. Kids now want to take the seniors out too!

@monzo thanks for being annoying and deciding to block a payment to a company I know that issued an invoice directly through Monzo business. 🤡

@RevolutBusiness another time you’ve closed our account without warning. Can you DM me what you need to fix this. All I saw was a fragment push notification re blocked/limited. There is no help in the app.

This is why so few people in the paddock interact on here by the way. Bs opinions like this. It’s embarrassing.
Average salary for an F1 Tech is closer to £60k by the way.
The average working week is about 70 hours.
Most fly economy, and nobody gets paid more for being on the pit crew.
🤦🏾♂️

@PayByPhone are you down today? The app can’t find any parking locations, via the map or location code.

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump.
While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond.
Several claims made by President Trump have already been debunked. We've included responses from Grok AI for each claim, demonstrating that even Grok refutes the misinformation spread by the president.
In this thread, we will provide geolocated footage as a reminder to everyone that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of this war.
1)
The United States has not spent $350 billion on this war, nor has it outspent Europe by $200 billion. In fact, European contributions have surpassed those of the US. Moreover, a significant portion of the American military aid (around 90% !) is spend in the US, reinvesting in the US economy.

2)
President Zelensky did not claim that half the American money sent to Ukraine is "missing". He stated that half of the promised funds had not been received, which is a crucial distinction.

Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime, a measure designed to protect the democratic process from foreign interference, particularly given Russia's known capabilities in this area...

President Zelensky is not a dictator, as evidenced by Ukraine's constitutional framework and his commitment to holding elections once hostilities cease. In contrast, it's worth noting that President Putin consistently wins elections in Russia with implausibly high percentages of votes, with opposition that 'falls out of windows", is poisened or jailed, raising questions about the true nature of Russia's electoral process.

President Zelensky has a approval rate above 50% and not 4%. 4% is Russian disinformation.

There was no NATO expansion to the East, as NATO itself cannot expand. Instead, democratic countries independently decide whether they want to become members of the alliance. The process of joining NATO is voluntary and involves multiple steps, including meeting specific requirements and completing a formal application process.
The fact that many of Russia's former neighbors have chosen to seek NATO membership speaks volumes about their perception of Russia and their desire for collective security.
The decision of these nations to pursue NATO membership reflects their sovereign right to determine their own foreign policy and security arrangements. It also indicates a preference for the stability and security guarantees that NATO membership offers, rather than remaining under Russian influence.
Regarding the famous 'promise':
Article 103 of the UN Charter establishes a clear hierarchy in international law. It states that obligations under the UN Charter prevail over obligations under any other international agreement in case of conflict. This supremacy extends beyond just treaties, as it is generally understood to also apply to customary international law.
The hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
1) UN Charter obligations
2) Other treaties and customary international law
3) Non-treaty international texts
4) Political promises or commitments
5) Historical claims
Russia's invasion of Ukraine clearly violates fundamental principles of the UN Charter, including the prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity of another state. Any attempts to justify this action based on lower-ranking considerations like political promises or historical claims are legally irrelevant.

Who initiated this nearly three-year-long war? RUSSIA.
As a platform that has analyzed over 50,000 frames/videos related to the conflict, we will remind the president ,with geolocated footage, who started this war: RUSSIA.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, despite repeatedly denying any plans for invasion in the preceding days.
