Teen Left to Discover Her HIV Diagnosis Through an Online Patient Portal

A teenage girl discovered she was HIV-positive by checking her results through an online patient portal, with no prior contact from her doctor. "I was just crying. I felt like my life was over," she said. Her family is outraged that such a serious diagnosis was left for the teen to find on her own without any medical support.

Should doctors be required to personally inform patients of serious diagnoses?

Earth may have received 50 million tonnes of space sugar — a building block of life

Research suggests that up to 50 million tonnes of sugar of cosmic origin may have fallen to Earth, potentially playing a key role in the emergence of life. Simple sugars such as ribose are essential for building RNA and DNA. Their extraterrestrial origin indicates that organic matter needed for life may have arrived on Earth from space.

Could life on Earth have originated from organic matter delivered from space?

WFP delivers food under drone fire — 700,000 Ukrainians depend on aid convoys

Around 700,000 residents of front-line areas in Ukraine depend on food deliveries organised by the UN World Food Programme. Russian drone attacks have forced local shops to close in many towns, and humanitarian convoys must move through danger zones with almost no ability to stop. The situation was reported by Politico.

Is the international community doing enough to protect humanitarian convoys in Ukraine?

Olomouc: the Czech city where art takes over public space

Olomouc, a city in the Czech Republic, surprises visitors with art woven into everyday public spaces. The author describes being startled by an art installation depicting an apparent theft, having grown unaccustomed to encountering art outside gallery walls. The city prompts reflection on how rarely people engage with art beyond dedicated venues.

Should public art have a greater presence in Polish cities?

South Korea's "dopamine sites" let you shop without spending or receiving anything

South Korea has given rise to so-called "dopamine sites" — platforms that simulate online shopping without any real transactions. Users can browse, select and "order" products, getting the psychological reward of the shopping process without spending money or receiving any delivery. The trend taps into the dopamine hit associated with the act of choosing and buying.

Are "dopamine sites" a healthy alternative to impulse shopping?

Reddit gamer creates physical Steam game cartridges using external SSDs

A Reddit user has built a DIY physical "cartridge" system for Steam games: each game is stored on a separate external SSD, and plugging it into a docking station triggers a script that launches the correct title in Steam. The setup is elegantly simple and saves space on the main drive. It does not, however, grant true game ownership independent of Steam — GOG's offline installation option remains the better alternative for that.

Should digital platforms like Steam guarantee full game ownership to players?

Pesticides on fruit and vegetables: how to wash them off effectively

Fruit and vegetables — including organic produce — carry residues of pesticides applied both in orchards and in storage facilities as preservatives. Rinsing under running water removes some residues but not all; scrubbing with a brush or soaking in a baking soda solution is more effective. Complete removal is impossible, as some chemicals penetrate into the flesh of the produce.

Are Poland's permitted pesticide limits on food strict enough?

Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov: I wrote down my nightmare to overcome it

Georgi Gospodinov, one of Bulgaria's most celebrated writers, tells Newsweek about a childhood nightmare he wrote down instead of telling his grandmother — and which never returned. He recalls the absurdities of communist Bulgaria, where even basic goods like oil and peppers were scarce. The interview explores literature, memory and writing as a way of processing trauma.

Does writing about trauma genuinely help people process it?

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Fish skin: collagen- and omega-3-rich ingredient most people throw away

Fish skin is rich in collagen, protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and when properly prepared becomes crispy and flavourful. Prized in many countries as a valuable culinary ingredient, it is most often discarded in Poland. The key to crispy skin is thorough drying and frying skin-side down on a hot pan for most of the cooking time.

Is fish skin worth eating instead of throwing away?

Men stay silent about feelings — educator: the tough-guy ethos is slowly changing

Many men, like Adam, have not spoken to their fathers about emotions since secondary school, because culture expects them to be tough and act rather than show vulnerability. Educator, therapist and suicidologist Piotr Bakan says this ethos is slowly changing but requires time and social acceptance of talking about one's own needs. The lack of emotional openness among men carries serious health and social consequences.

Should men talk about their emotions more openly?
