TL;DR I think most people are full of goodness.

In this instance that’s definitely the case that it’s shitty behaviour IMO but in general I still hold dear to my view that most people are good and it’s my default position on new people I meet, with some bad vibe exceptions, until proven otherwise.

It’s like the old Mr Rogers quote about looking for the helpers. I see (and try my best to also do and am so lucky to be married to someone the same) so much good in this world.

khannie , 29 days ago to world in ‘Time is our life’: Volodymyr Zelenskiy on balancing urgency with diplomacy in the war against Russia

That’s a good read. Nice video in the middle too.

Asked how he wound down at the end of his long days, he said he often listened to classical music – “Domingo, Pavarotti”. Either that or he read books as a way to turn off his brain before going to sleep. “It’s much more better than to drink,” he said, switching again to English.

He’s some man. Churchill might disagree with him on the booze front but I think if a good book is doing it for you then press on, son.

Can’t imagine what it’s like trying to get to sleep while leading a nation that’s being invaded.

Dearest American friends,

I’m happy for you. Given your tax system this seems like a really positive step forward.

I hope it makes your lives better.

this actually affects the entire world.

Yeah I’m sitting there the far side of the Atlantic and I can say with absolute certainty that this affects me. For the better like.

My mother called me in to watch it live on TV. Pure chance that I was in her house. I never watch live TV. We both said that we were watching history.

I happened to be in my mother’s house when she called me to look at it live and there was zero mention on CNN of whether or not he would serve time over it. Sentencing in July.

Anyone know likelihood of jail time?

Dubya was definitely way smarter than the media portrayed him at the time. He did very well in the debate against Gore.

I read that the whole “fool me once” gaffe was down to him not wanting to be have a sound bite of him saying “shame on me”, copped it mid sentence then tried to cobble his way out of it. Not sure how true or accurate that is but it is at least plausible.

Perfect. Thank you.

Can you tell me a little more about this please?

I haven’t come across a smart switch before as I generally try to minimise the number of smart devices in my home. I presume you have to pair your phone with something. It sounds quite intriguing.

I fully agree. Like even 90% would reduce the amount of waste significantly without really impacting usability.

I got a reasonably high end phone for my last one (about €500 at the time) and it survived so so well and I only learned about the 80% thing about 2 years into it and still was charging it to full occasionally.

This automatic 80% thing that just came in is great.
