Eurovision is a pantomime. D list celebs and cheesy songs.

Call me cynical, but I reckon they fully expect to get booted from the show and are intentionally milking the situation for propaganda purposes back home.

The music performed by the band ranged from outstanding to utter pretentious twaddle. Imho the most interesting thing about The Doors was the 1991 film about the band. Val Kilmer play Morrison. The likeness was uncanny.

The impression you get is the guy went to excess and succeeded at being a dick. Shame really cos I genuinely like most of their tracks.

While exercise will have some impact the vast majority of weight is controlled by what you eat not what you do. Also calories are not burnt in a simple one to one equation. Different types of calories are processed definitely in the body. Sugar turns to fat, but the same amount of calories in bacon, or carrots, or bread, are all different, and your body will use them differently. The less processed a food is, the harder it is for your body to extract those calories, so measuring calories from what it says on yh packet is not the best guide.

Sorry, rambling.

Tl;Dr - Exercise for fitness, eat for fitness.

The fasting is the part that actually affects your weight.

I'll add a requirement. That supports remotes running Wayland.

Not ONE government, but I'd accept something that lots of governments sign up to and share responsibility for. E.g. funding and making sure it is not giving any one country preferential treatment.

Indeed. Needs to be run by an independent non-profit organisation.

There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.

You seem to be making my point for me. Human Endeavours don't need to make a difference, and the difference they do make doesn't have to affect everyone. In fact if the work makes one person happy, then it is worthwhile.

Sounds like you have taken on a life that means something. My own job is full of bullshit that really doesn't need to exist, but I give it meaning by mentoring those I lead to drive good changes, and reduce the bullshit. It is a small thing but it is how I make a difference.

You could reduce a lot of the shit we do to effect irrelevance. However, things don't have to have a profound impact on our lives to be worthwhile endeavours. I love rocket league, a lot of people don't. A lot of jobs boil down to *meaningless busy work", but some jobs are absolutely essential. Some events have a big influence on limited fields of study, but that doesn't mean those events can't impact the wider world. If we discovered aliens once existed on Mars a million years ago it would arguably be irrelevant to our daily lives. But the impact on the world would be earth shattering.

If we only did things that were relevant to the lives of MOST people the world would be a very dull place.

Tl;Dr - you have no soul.
