Robot food delivery is no longer just a dream, with hundreds of little devices now traveling around college campuses and even some city sidewalks in places like the US and the UK.

While robots were being tested in small numbers before the coronavirus pandemic, the companies building them say the pandemic has made them more popular. This is because there are not enough workers and customers are now preferring contactless delivery.

Starship Technologies, for example, recently completed its 2 millionth delivery. The company has more than 1,000 robots, up from just 250 in 2019, and hundreds more will soon be on the streets.

Delivery companies are also starting to use robots. Grubhub recently started working with Russian robot maker Yandex to bring 50 robots to the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Grubhub plans to add more campuses soon, although the company says that the service will only be for colleges for now.

Many restaurants are struggling to find workers, which is making them use robots instead.

"There is no store in the country right now with enough delivery drivers," said Dennis Maloney of Domino's Pizza.

Domino's is working with Nuro, a California company whose about 1.8-meter-tall self-driving robots go at a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour on streets, not sidewalks. Nuro is testing the delivery of groceries and restaurant food in Houston, Phoenix, and Mountain View, California.

Maloney said it's not a question of if, but of when, robots will start doing more deliveries. He thinks companies like Domino's will eventually use both robots and human drivers depending on the location.

There's nothing worse than getting off a long flight and then having to sit in traffic on the way to your accommodation. But Rome's main airport may have a solution to these travel troubles, as it plans to offer passengers the option of traveling into the city in a flying taxi.

Volocopter, a German company that makes flying electric vehicles, has partnered with Fiumicino Airport in Italy to make battery-powered flying taxis available to tourists by 2024.

The taxis will seat two passengers, and the journey from the airport to the city will take around 15 minutes, said Marco Troncone, CEO of Aeroporti di Roma, the company that manages the airport. This is half an hour shorter than the 45 minutes the journey currently takes by car.

Volocopter's air taxis have been designed to travel up to 35 kilometers with a top speed of 110 kilometers per hour.

A ride in one of the taxis will cost around $175, but the price is expected to decrease as the service becomes more popular, Troncone said.

Troncone told Reuters that the battery-powered taxis will not create harmful emissions, making them more environmentally friendly than normal taxis.

Volocopter is just one of many companies working on flying taxis. The California company Joby Aviation says it has completed more than 1,000 test flights of its flying taxi, which can seat four passengers and a pilot. According to the company, the vehicle can move at up to 322 kilometers per hour, and travel over 240 kilometers on a single charge.

🇭🇺 Guest：來自匈牙利的 Christina

不同文化，看待「死亡」的方式也很不一樣。

在台灣，提到掃墓與清明節，
常讓人聯想到比較沉重的氣氛。

但 Christina 分享，
匈牙利的「諸聖節」則是另一種感覺✨

人們會在傍晚前往墓園，
🕯️ 點上蠟燭
🌸 獻上鮮花

整個墓園安靜又美麗，
像是在溫柔地思念離開的人。

節目中也聊到墨西哥熱鬧的亡靈節，
一起認識不同文化中的生死觀與紀念方式🌍

文章內容

If you hate that new movie trailer or don't like the new BTS song, you'll have to find a new way to let the world know, because YouTube will no longer show how many people have clicked the "dislike" button under its videos.

On its official blog, YouTube announced that it is making the change to help protect video creators from harassment by viewers. After experimenting with removing the dislike button earlier in 2021, YouTube found that the number of "dislike attacks" — where viewers try to increase the number of dislikes on a video by as much as possible — were reduced.

Video creators will still be able to see how many dislikes their own videos have gotten by using YouTube Studio.

YouTube wrote that although some people will not agree with the change, it believes that it is the best decision for the site. The change started "gradually" beginning on November 10, it wrote.

YouTube's most disliked video is YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind, which has 19 million dislikes. Although the video — which was made by YouTube — was meant to be a celebration of the year's YouTube content, many people thought it focused too much on products and celebrities instead of popular YouTube creators.

The second most disliked YouTube video is 2016's Baby Shark Dance, which has become famous as one of the most annoying songs ever made. Made by South Korean children's channel Pinkfong, the video has 14 million dislikes. However, it is also the most watched video on YouTube, and has been seen almost 10 billion times.

你有沒有一個地方，總讓你一回去就感到放鬆呢？✨

Stanley 分享，他小時候跟著家人移居花蓮，
因為家人希望他能在更貼近自然、壓力較少的環境中長大🌿

對他來說，花蓮最迷人的，
就是那種「慢慢生活」的節奏。

🌅 回到花蓮時，他最喜歡清晨3、4點到七星潭慢跑，等待日出。
他還說：「花蓮的日出，比德國還美！」✨

從湛藍海水到獨角仙的回憶，
一起感受花蓮獨特的自然魅力吧💙

A 28-year-old Frenchman has broken his own record for standing on top of a hot air balloon at altitude.

On November 10, Remi Ouvrard flew high above the town of Chatellerault in western France with his father, Jean-Daniel Ouvrard, who was flying the balloon.

They were taking part in France's Telethon — a charity event that raises money for research and support for people with neuromuscular diseases.

To match the charity event's 36-37 phone number, father and son wanted to get Remi and the balloon 3,637 meters above the ground.

An Agence France-Presse video shows Remi standing on a pink chair on top of the balloon while wearing a white astronaut suit. He holds two signs with the numbers 36 and 37 on them — numbers that are also on the side of the balloon.

But Remi and his father didn't just get to 3,637 meters. They went even higher.

Remi got to 4,016 meters, much higher than his February 2020 record of 1,217 meters.

After the flight was over, Remi said everything went really well and that the weather had been perfect. "I'm super happy," he said.

He had been standing on the balloon for an hour and a half in temperatures below zero degrees Celsius — although Remi said he had actually been "boiling" because of the heat from the balloon.

🇺🇸 Guest：旅台美國人 Katie

你是否也有這種經驗——
跟陌生人聊天，總是不知道要說什麼？😅

本集節目邀請 Katie，
帶我們深入了解美國獨特的 Small Talk（閒聊）文化，
也一起破解為什麼這件事對亞洲人來說特別困難。

Katie 分享：
亞洲人在對話中，常帶有明確目的，
希望「有內容、有重點」，
但美國人則更習慣——
👉 只是為了聊天而聊天

對他們來說，
閒聊是一種「活在當下」的交流方式✨
沒有壓力、沒有目標，
甚至像是一種即興的藝術。

節目中也聊到有趣的文化誤會：
🍚 台灣人說「你吃飽了嗎？」
在美國人耳中，可能會變成「你要請我吃飯嗎？」😆

這些差異，
讓原本單純的對話，變成「雞同鴨講」的趣味場景！

💡 那麼，怎麼學會 Small Talk？
關鍵其實很簡單——
✔ 認真聆聽
✔ 回應對方
✔ 順著當下的話題自然延伸

聊天，不一定要有目的，
有時候，只是讓彼此更靠近的一種方式❤️

📌 本集三個單字筆記本
Small talk /ˈsmɔːl tɔːk/ 閒聊
Live in the moment 活在當下
Stranger /ˈstreɪndʒər/ 陌生人

👉Article
Portugal has banned bosses from contacting staff outside of working hours as part of its new "right to rest" law.

The new law means companies with more than 10 employees could get fined if they contact staff after their working hours are over — unless they contact them because of an emergency.

The new law hopes to protect employees' right to a healthy work-life balance, since there has been a large increase in remote working due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other changes include more support for parents with young children. Now, they won't have to ask for their company's permission to work from home if their children are under 8 years old.

Companies will also have to help pay for some of their staff's home electricity and internet bills. And so that workers don't feel isolated, they'll need to arrange meetings in the office at least once every two months.

Government minister Ana Mendes Godinho told the Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon that she hopes the new rules will also help attract more remote workers from abroad.

Godinho said she believes Portugal is one of the best places in the world for remote workers to live.

Other countries already have similar laws. Not working or answering messages from your employer outside of work hours is protected by law in France, Spain, the Philippines and India.

According to research company Gartner, about 32% of employees worldwide could be working remotely by the end of 2021, compared to just 17% in 2019.

🇹🇼🇬🇧 Guest：台英混血兒 Natalie

你有沒有想過，
當一個人同時屬於兩個文化，
「我是誰」這個問題，會變得更複雜？

本集節目邀請 Natalie，
分享她身為台英混血，在兩種文化之間成長的真實經驗。

她出生於台灣、在台灣長大，
之後到英國念大學。
外表常被認為是「外國人」，
但個性與習慣卻更接近台灣人。

👉 在台灣，她被當作外國人
👉 在英國，她又因口音不夠「英式」而顯得不同

這樣的落差，
讓她一度陷入「身份認同」的迷惘😔

但透過與父親的對話，
她慢慢學會接受——
✨ 不需要被單一標籤定義
✨ 可以同時是台灣人，也是英國人

她也分享參加《亞洲超級名模生死鬥》的經驗，
當她拿著台灣國旗站上舞台時，
那份代表台灣、讓世界看見多元文化的榮耀，
讓她更加確定自己的價值❤️

📌 本集三個單字筆記本
Identity /aɪˈdɛntəti/ 認同
Belonging /bɪˈlɔːŋɪŋ/ 歸屬感
Categorizing /ˈkætəɡəˌraɪzɪŋ/ 分類；貼標籤

在多元的世界裡，
每一種樣貌，都是獨一無二的存在🌈
