      @kyivindependent - Your "shorts" format video uploaded 7 hours ago (same title as here), it doesn't look like it made it into the YT "shorts" category, it's recommended like a normal video. I notice it's 1:00 long. I think that's the problem, and that it should be no more than 0:59 long, max. Maybe make them only 0:57 long, just to be sure. It's made for the "shorts" kategory, then you wish it to be recommended in that category on smartphones.
      Thanks for excellt reports! Cheers from Denmark. Slava Ukraini!

    My body started to recognize when the power is cut and wakes me up to go relocate cold packs from freezer to fridge. I’m guessing it feels the wifi waves silence, because the neighboring businesses don’t operate at night and so their generators don’t turn on. Plus I wake up when the power starts up again too. Anyways it it very handy.

    • @1midnightfish
      @1midnightfish 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      😯 I had never heard of anything like that happening before... I understand waking up when the power comes back on, that's happened to me too after a powercut, but waking up when the power *goes out* really is impressive.
      My first, foolish thought when I read your comment was, "Oh no, this person's sleep must be really disrupted", before it occurred to me that the greatest disruption probably comes from the constant threat of shelling 🤬

    The Ukrainian people are very resilient. I speak with several each week in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and some small towns. Their attitudes are simply amazing. They not only deal with the daily struggles we have (ex. Sales quotas, deadlines, and family); but, they have scheduled blackouts and invaders in their country. In Texas we suffered a few days of power outages during a freeze a couple of years ago and you don’t realize how important electricity is until you don’t have it. Ukrainians have been dealing with this for a long time with persistent grace.
    If you’re a native English speaker and would like to learn more about Ukraine and its people consider volunteering with ENGin. It costs nothing but a commitment of time which is a small price to pay to help Ukraine be victorious.

      On the other hand, we have a neighbour just one floor below who has to use crutches, so he can't go out or back home during a power cut. I think of him (and our soldiers of course) whenever I feel like complaining.

    Where I live, in northern Norway, a blackout during winter can be deadly if it lasts for enough time for isolation to get cold. During summer its no problem, but its obviously destructive to companies and industry, and thus it will effect people gravely in the long run. Hopefully UA will get further civil assist when it comes to power. Is it possible to create power relay from Europe in high enough amounts to cover UA completely?
