\Ok so we've heard from Zelensky.

Now can we hear the point of view from Putin?

The abuse she gets is very sad but tbh I think she owns it now

She is right.

But there no point stoking the fire.

Bad adventure for Matteo Salvini at the Ukrainian-Polish border:

the mayor of Przemys refused to go with him and showed the shirt worn by the leader of the League in the European Parliament a few years ago: "No respect for you"

I do find myself using Spotify a lot. But then again a I buy a lot of records and support artists by going to gigs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For my sins, after binning off Spotify (for various reasons, including offering a platform to dangerous waaankers), I signed up to Apple Music.

They pay artists a lot better than Spotify and Amazon apparently, and I've found their 'if you like blah, then you'll love blahblah' algorithm much, much more successful than Spotify's, which was recommending to me all kinds of utter tripe. (Like even worse stuff than the bog standard tripe I usually listen to.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been considering Tidal recently for the better music quality.

I do not use the Spotify algorithms much to find new music really. I usually listen to just the albums I like and then create playlists. For new music I use Reddit, RateYourMusic and YouTube.

It will be a shame if I move on from Spotify, as I have been with them from the beginning pretty much. However, its pretty senseless to be loyal to a brand really. And there are so many competitors now out there really.

British drivers should limit their speed to 55mph on motorways and turn down their heating to help reduce dependence on Russian fuel, one of the UK’s most senior energy experts has proposed

Drive slowly to get home and end up freezing to death in your cars lads

Or they could do it to help combat climate change?

Or neither

President Nixon introduced a 55 mph speed limit in 1973/74(?) to alleviate the harm from the oil embargo.

You burn less fuel at lower speeds.

I don’t actively use the Apple Music algorithm either, really. It just kicks in automatically when your album or playlist ends, and tends to do a decent job in my experience.

I’ve actually rediscovered a couple of bands that I’d enjoyed previously (pre-Apple Music), but managed to completely forget about courtesy of the algo.

Losing access to Spotify playlists, both my own and those of others, hurt for a few days. But creating new ones is always fun anyway

Traffic jams and tailback and stop start is worse though and for the air, and that’s what you’d get. Any benefit would be outweighed by the negatives

Studies have shown pretty conclusively that:

- On high speed (inter-urban) roads, lower speed limits lead to (significantly) lower emissions

- On low speed (urban) roads, lower speed limits have no net positive or negative impacts on emissions. They do, however, make roads safer for all users: drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians.

hohoho. My favorite psychologist who's well known for his exactitude in language seems not to know what martial law is.

Now that would be martial law.
It never happened. But that's never stopped Jirdy from spreading BS.
He also recently said the Bible was the first book.
Not exactly exact.
Oh and do you still stand by 'enforced monogamy" as being a psychological term? Think before giving me the Quora link again.
