#20 It’s a strange world: Planned Obsolescence
❓Have you been wondering why electric appliances always break before too long (=soon)? Or why smartphones have become harder to repair?
❗️ The reason might be “Planned Obsolescence” – when companies create products in such a way that they don’t last too long and customers are forced to buy replacements.

Doing too much of something in a short time is called …
Ouch!
❌ Overflow is the wrong answer. People cannot overflow, rivers can do that.
✅ Binge is correct. It describes an activity and is often used with eating or drinking.
❌ Outburst is something that happens suddenly.
❌ Surge is a sudden increase of something.
❌ Splatter is liquid falling onto a surface.
❌ Riot is when people are protesting violently on the streets.

#41 Travelogue Uzbekistan: The Grieving Mother
Before the last war gets totally forgotten, let’s talk about war memorials in Uzbekistan. Apart from a few Soviet-style flames for unknown soldiers and name lists of fallen soldiers the memorials seem to be all about grieving mothers. Let me offer some thoughts:
What did the soldiers die for?
The fighting was far away from Uzbekistan. Uzbek soldiers died defending the Soviet Union, not their Uzbek motherland. That’s why, unlike in Russia, heroism cannot be the central theme.
Mother-ism
Women may not hold much power in public life, but as mothers they hold families together. Uzbeks have written countless sentimental songs and poems about mothers.
Family collectivism
Losing a family member, especially an unmarried one, is a real tragedy. It’s not so much about individual suffering and losing one’s life but what the war did to Uzbek families.
