Fucking hell. What is the definition of an expiration date?

My wife was just refused to board her flight to the Netherlands to join me because her passport expiration date was too close. It doesn't expire until September, and the trip is for today until July 10th but apparently that's too close for someone!

We've already spent over $500 rescheduling the flight, making travel arrangements, etc. Why did nobody at any point in the proceedings when we booked this thing several months ago point this out?

What the hell is the definition of an expiration date if the real expiration date is hidden and before that? Just change the date to that point then!

This is so fucked up. I want to sue someone just to get the money back.Never mind the inconvenience. We've been travelling internationally for decades. How the Hell did this never come up before?

I'm so angry I could just spit fire.

AI brings old paintings to life. This is amazing...

Machine learning researchers have produced a system that can recreate lifelike motion from just a single frame of a person’s face, opening up the possibility of animating not just photos but also paintings. It’s not perfect, but when it works, it is — like much AI work these days — eerie and fascinating.

I Dare You To Tell Me The Economy Is "Booming" After Reading This List Of 19 Facts...

I was forwarded this article, but I don't recognise or know anything about this blog so I don't know how credible it is. It's true that I find it difficult to square stories about the economic boom times we're supposedly living in with the reality of the world around me.

When I heard this song for the first time, I could have sworn it's an old song I heard decades ago. Well, that could be because it samples "Wait a minute Mr. Postman". Or maybe it's the reference to 1966. ETA: It's from 2017

Psychics: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

John Oliver is a genuinely funny man. A bit of an old, stale topic for us in here, but maybe worth it for the entertainment value
