Kuten uutisessa sanotaan:
“Matkustajien täytyy maksaa 2300 euroa maksava kotiutuslento itse, samoin ”vajaa 100 euroa” maksava bussimatka.”

Veronmaksajat eivät siis maksa koko kustannusta, vaan UM joutuu käyttämään rahaa lennon tilaamiseen, jotta tavallinen kansalainen voi ostaa siihen ~2.3k€ lipun.

FUN FACT: The UK has nearly twice as many public EV chargers as fuel pumps

There are a few things I'm proud of this year, and on this list is the fact that I pranked everyone on my office floor by leaving a new rubber duck around for each day of the Winter quarter. 🐤

Some of the ducks were metaphysical. One was encased in ice. All were discreet.

Gramsci's Nightmare: AI, Platform Power and the Automation of Cultural Hegemony - Ethan Zuckerman Large language models lock values into place, making it hard to challenge the cultural hegemony of a particular form of western culture

Ethan Zuckerman writes about the problems of text generators:

"LLMs are inherently conservative technologies, instantiating the historic bloc that created LLMs into code that is difficult to modify, even for ideologically motivated tech billionaires."

“The economic impact these wonderful attractions have unquestionably makes a huge difference to the city each and every year, but just as important is the social value our sites have --,"

News | Museums give city economy multi-million pound boost The city’s council-run museums and galleries have given a massive £47.3m boost to the local economy over the past year, new figures have revealed.

Leeds has really been focusing on showing how much impact museums can have for the local economy.

"every £1 invested in museums and galleries in turn generates £9 for the city."

Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store and passes out on bathroom floor A raccoon broke into a closed Virginia liquor store and drank alcohol from the bottom shelves over the weekend.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

At first they would only take live food when I wasn’t looking, but now they eat straight from my hand. Too cute. 🐟💙

It's also a strength that you have the long background from tech side, since it helps to understand companies from more different viewpoints.

Tuo on kuitenkin yleensä seurausta siitä kun aikuiset ovat opettaneet vihamieliset asenteensa lapsille. Lapset kyllä seuraavat esimerkkiä mitä aikuiset ensin sanovat ja tekevät.

Tuo on myös ihan fiksua, että kirjailija säästää tulevaisuuden varalle, koska kirjatulot harvemmin kestävät kovin pitkälle tulevaisuuteen jos ei säännöllisesti saa aikaan huippuluokan myyntiä.

Keskimäärin suomalaisten kirjailijoiden vuositulot ovat alle ~2000 €, jolla ei saa kuin muutamat laskut...

If we compare the 2025 movie's revenue to what it would have been in 1987 dollars, it's basically similar to the first Arnold movie.

2025 movie would have got:
$60,766,419.20 USD in 1987

Cumulative rate of inflation:
-65%

Essentially whoever was writing that IGN blog post totally skipped economics class at school.

It's even worse the other way:

$173,740,607 revenue in 2025 is...
$134,321,067.12 revenue in 2018.

Cumulative rate of inflation:
-22.7%

If in 2018 movie got:
$160,542,134.00 USD

then in 2025 that would be worth:
$207,656,836.02 USD

Cumulative rate of inflation:
29.3%

So they made a comparison that isn't a comparison? 😂 Putting numbers next to each other without not inflation correction is like comparing a salary from 30 years ago to today, and wondering why people get less food with it.

Tuokin on jotenkin erikoinen sanonta, koska lapset käyttäytyvät monesti paljon fiksummin ja kohteliaammin kuin aikuiset ihmiset. 😅
