I have no experience with their cans, only their buds, which I've been very happy with. Maybe they have been ruined since they started taking advice from Bose, as I haven't bought any in a while, but the last ones I did buy had a more-easily-untangleable flat rubbery cord and sounded really nice. They were clear for both music and calls, and were less than twenty bucks... maybe $14?
I'm not a "pay extra" kind of guy, though I do try not to buy the absolute most crap thing. I'm a "refurb" type.

Nobody gives a rat's ass about kids except their own. This is because of Trump. Also Russia.
This is an effective way to kick American social media companies out of your country. Like most socially destructive and unpleasant things you kind of have to get em young. If you don't hook kids early on they don't become terribly interested in social media.
What they tend to do is they tend to find a platform their friends are on and just communicate with their friends. They don't engage in the Doom scrolling that you need to manipulate political outcomes and control a population and gather shitloads of highly confidential and valuable information. Just a little IMing back and forth and that's no good if you're a Russian propagandist or a billionaire psychopath.
Facebook has had that problem for ages and they stay ahead of it by buying up every tiny little potential competitor or small Network and then forcing kids into their main platform where they can be monetized and propagandized.
Since Trump threatened to invade Greenland Europe sees America as a existential threat, which much as I hate to admit it is correct. My country literally made a pedophile president of the United States twice we can no longer be trusted.
If you're up just banned Facebook and Twitter there would be legal challenges and they would probably lose but by cutting off the kids in 5 or 10 years Facebook and Twitter will be dead in Europe.
The funny thing is I'm sure that both Facebook and Twitter know this well I mean Facebook Twitter is run by an imbecile. So I do wonder how they are going to counter this or if they even can

I mean if you're a hobbyist more power to you. I'm going to spend some time tomorrow tinkering with a small form factor computer case to get The thermals right. I happen to like this particular case because I've had it for a long time but it's not terribly good and I could and probably should just replace it but screw that I'm going to keep tinkering with it.

Russia does not have the resources to occupy Ukraine. They can invade it they can't occupy it. The amount of troops and resources needed to occupy a hostile nation is extremely well researched and well understood. And Russia with its population of 120 million can't even come close. They don't have the troops they don't have the money and they don't even have the population for it.
If they tried they would get bogged down in insurgency that makes Afghanistan look like a Sunday picnic. Never mind the fact that the rest of the world would be flooding Ukraine with weapons to keep Russia busy.
That means Russia will go straight to genocide. Every single person in Ukraine will be killed or sent to death camps to be worked until they die. The only exception will be people who flee.
That is the only thing Putin can do with the country. Kill everyone there and put his own people in.
Incidentally every single world leader knows that this is going to happen if Russia wins and they are letting Russia continue this war instead of properly arming Ukraine because it's beneficial to them to do so so long as Russia doesn't completely take the region. If Russia takes the region it'll kind of suck for Europe because Europe wants access to Ukraine's bread basket. But it's worth the risk to do this much damage to Russia. At least as far as European leadership is concerned. American too Frankly and I'm not happy about that

So it's not that easy to get your hands on something that valuable. If Ukraine had the dirt on Trump then it would already be out there. Putin is completely incompetent at virtually everything. He can't run a country and he can't run a war.
But he is good at two things. First he's good at feudalism. Which is basically the technique of playing all the other people who are trying to replace you as King rat against each other so you stay on top. And the second thing he's really good at is information warfare. It's literally what he did at the the kgb.

There are direct replacements for diesel and gasoline which we know how to make and which we absolutely could use to replace our transportation fuels without switching to EVs. And you can just read about them on the Internet, they are not secret.
If you don't care enough about a subject to learn about it then don't make declarative statements about it.
