I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps.

EDIT: Replies tell me that this doesn't function in the UK without a VPN.

@Pepsilora TY Amazing site/app!!

@RexJurassic @stephenking Bar soap was invent in 1837, just 28 years prior. Most would wash with plain water, maybe scrub with mud or sand... maybe some tonic or oil to finish up if you were upper class. Mainly to get the gunpowder and blood off. Of course some men enjoyed the smell of war.
If you want to understand Musk from the context of someone who has coveted him for years (and is still banned from Twitter for unstated reasons), this is an excellent read https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-business-playbook-boss-visionary-jerk-spacex-tesla-twitter-2022-12
Elon Musk was always a visionary jerk, bad boss at SpaceX, Tesla. But it won't work at Twitter.

Elon Musk has used the same playbook at all of his companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Sadly for him, his model will cause Twitter to go down in flames.
