#Ukraine is fighting not only for itself but for the whole of Europe. I appeal to all leaders and citizens of the EU: this is our common cause and our shared responsibility. Together, we must help the war refugees.

Fastest way for US leaders to stop the war is to tank the price of oil all the way to the bottom by unleashing American energy. This devalues Russia\'s massive resource reserves. Biden won\'t do it.  It would also halve inflation. It\'s almost as if they want the US dollar to fail (buying oil overseas doesn\\u2019t help the environment)

TIL:

TIL Eastern Grey Squirrels were purposefully introduced to American city parks in the early 19th century as a form of entertainment and for those who lived in cities to get more exposure to nature.

TIL early 20th century pregnancy tests involved a lengthy and costly process where the urine sample would be injected into five mice per woman. The mice would then be dissected to find out if they were ovulating. These results would be obtained in a week.

TIL that if the moon were to come closer than 12,000 miles to Earth, the Earth\'s gravitational forces would pull it apart, transforming it into rings like the ones on Saturn.

TIL In addition to being blind, Stevie Wonder temporarily lost his sense of smell and taste after a car crash in 1973

Retirement age is a dollar value

Muscle memory is responsible for a lot of forgotten passwords

The difference between copying someone and quoting someone is just a matter of time

Just helped a friend move house. Libraries must be the heaviest buildings in the world.
