If you ever get these after a contacting customer care, here is how they work:
10/10: ok. No need to reprimand employee
9/10: acceptable every now and then
Anything less than 9/10: talk to employee about their low performance and lacking commitment
This applies to all questions asked, including “how is the weather?” and “did you sleep well tonight?”
So here is how I answer, knowing how it works:
Employee helped me or at least tried to (and was hindered by company bullshit): 10/10, no exception. Yes, I will sacrifice my firstborn on your corporate altar and will build a shrine to your CEO in my bedroom. Of course I will recommend [product] and to anyone and everyone I will ever meet and praise [company] with my dying breath.
Mediocre service: no reply
Truly awful service, employee was a dick: 2-4/10, so it does not look like petty revenge, but is still bad

Add some good (low sugar and low added fats) peanut butter or any other nut butter and/or ground nuts to your oats. Makes for a healthy and calorie rich meal that keeps you sated for a while. It’s easy on the stomach, does not cause the blood sugar to rise quickly and you can eat it spoon by spoon over the whole day, if necessary.
Also don’t forget to drink plenty. I find tea and highly diluted apple juice (like 10%) are ideal when I am sick.

Don’t rely on the algorithms. They will inevitably steer you towards clickbait, mindless attention whoring and controversy baiting. After all, they are designed for keeping you engaged at the cost of wearing down your attention span.
Instead consider what you are interested in and try to find likeminded people online. From there, look for connections to other places. Those can be links or something someone mentioned. Even in times of Facebook, Reddit etc. there are still some great forums on some topics around. And there are real gems buried under all the crap on YouTube, you just need to find them yourself.
If you just want to browse for interesting videos without a specific topic in mind, try the channels of public broadcasting. PBS, dw, ARTE etc. have great documentaries on all kinds of topics.
Also consider listening to audiobooks. Audible is not that expensive, otherwise some are on YouTube or in some places you can get access to online libraries with a offline library card.

What a stupid headline. This is not the wind lifting the ground, it is the wind almost pushing over trees with very shallow roots. Trees that will deposit a few hundred kilos of wood on one‘s head once they come down. Trees that will push over their shallow rooted friends like dominoes (which btw is why mixed forests are so important).
I can’t believe the BBC would publish a video of a Darwin Award contender like that.

Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.
"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."
Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.
People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?
