It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness

Un detto italiano dice: "Non si può avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca", applicandolo al tema di oggi, è molto difficile avere un salario alto e molto tempo libero. Purtroppo spesso è anche difficile avere del tempo libero pur non avendo un salario alto. Ma in genere, se è vero che il tempo è denaro, più ne vendiamo più si guadagna. Quanto vale la nostra libertà?

Tempo libero e salari

Many people believe in destiny but if there is one thing that I learned the hard way, "don't leave anything to chance."


FLO TALKS 

DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.
