In my late teens my cover band did this song by Dio.
I could not sing it, so it was just instrumental. Our drummer nearly died playing it but the crowd went nuts every fucking time.
Thanks Ronnie. What a song for the ages.
And thanks to Jorn for the tribute.

I'm not a native speaker but I think my English is not bad.
I feel like I have this super power: I can tune out the language when listening to music.
I don't listen to the words but see the voice as an instrument.
I can't do this with my native German, why I dislike the music.

Using a phone which does not get regular security updates can be a very serious risk.
The problem though is not the consumer using it but the company not providing security updates after a very short time.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Our friend just sent this from my godcat.
She is getting better by the day and her energy level rises.
The friend hoped for more cuddles but young cats have so much energy.
