Unfortunately nearly every graph on that page is intentionally misleading. If you actually adjust the graphs for inflation (where it's relevant), 1971 looks like just another year.

Lying with statistics!

Go to Moscow, hang a left. When you hit the North Pole, head south...not, not that south, the other one! The other other one. After a bit, take another left for a couple hours, and you'll arrive at your destination on the right.

I get that Ukraine won't consider the possibility of ceding any territory, nor should they. They probably don't like their allies even mentioning it.

But, there's the separate issue of not being able to join NATO with ongoing territorial disputes. Without much context to go on, I would almost interpret this as something more along the lines of "Ukraine could join NATO tomorrow if the dispute went away (by whatever method)".

My one experience was good. Randomly picked one place to call, they straight up told me it was gonna be a while until they could get to me, and to call this other company to see if they could help faster.

The place they recommended rerouted a couple of their drivers while I was on the phone to get to me faster, they were there in 30 minutes, did a good job, and the whole experience was very pleasant.

Definitely have both places in my contact list if I ever need another tow.

I suppose it's the natural result of wanting to keep the show on as long as possible, when you've only got one good idea for the story arc. You need a lot of filler.

I'd like to see more shows done in the style of Babylon 5, where the creator had the whole 5 years written out from day 1. There was very little in the show that felt like filler or treading water.

Which also may explain why books are being brought to TV more frequently these days. But, TV showrunners have a bad habit of taking a good novel and totally mangling it in the translation to TV, so it's not a guaranteed win.

I have the Sportback and not the TourX, but it's still a great car. Got it for a steal too.

Honestly, mostly a non issue, if the email didn't contain any sensitive info.

Your email address isn't secret, and will be scraped up by spammers sooner or later anyway. Security by obscurity is basically no security at all.
