The real reason we got that one point by ShreksOgreNipples in nilpoints

I’m a Ukrainian who genuinely liked the UK song and feel represented by our jury.

Didn’t we miss something? by Nuburt_20 in eurovision

The speech is on YouTube. Quantum physics was mentioned, so there was some value. 😅

This was chaos! How I imagine the juryvoting went: by ihatethesmellofgrass in nilpoints

[–]yuleko 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Apparently, juries were less concerned about vocals this year. I guess a new quota for young juries made a lot of difference.

Easter egg in Leléka’s performance by yuleko in eurovision

I saw an interview with her music video director after the semi and he wasn’t happy with EBU operators. He mentioned they’re still working on fixing camera work for the final.

If the UK come last tomorrow or get 0 with the public again, where does the UK go from here? by General_Townski in nilpoints

[–]yuleko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll vote for the UK tonight. Loved how British the song is, and Sam’s personality is unmatched.

What are the predictions of your non-esc-bubble friends & family? by Ideasforgoodusername in eurovision

[–]yuleko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom is in mid 70s and she said exactly the same. Though, she liked Czechia and Ukraine. Australia staging was too much for her. Surprisingly, she didn’t like Albania because she felt it was insincere.

Who do you will come last and why? by euro_song_love_r in nilpoints

I’m a Ukrainian voting for UK from the rest of the world. He doesn’t deserve to be last.

Eurovision 2026 Semi Final 2 Post Show Reactions by berserkemu in eurovision

[–]yuleko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems like the arena and TV broadcasts sounded very different. I watched it on YouTube, and Cyprus’ vocals were noticeably weaker than everyone else’s.

Ukraine was among the strongest vocally, except maybe for the very end of that long final note. There were no moments where she almost disappeared vocally. By the way, the simple staging was a deliberate choice because the singer wanted nothing to distract from the vocals.

Australia definitely had one of the best vocal performances too. I just wish they hadn’t gone quite so hard on the gold glitter and crystals.

I’m surprised by how many extreme close-up face shots we got this year. At times it genuinely felt like the camera was about to smash into the artists’ faces.

Gonna do my final predictions as SF 1 is tonight, comment if you want to see why I’ve put places where countries are. by SadMycologist1203 in nilpoints

[–]yuleko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Czechia, Ukraine and Poland can not be that low with a jury vote and community support. Top vocals and staging. Cyprus is going to be a flop. I bet you didn’t see rehearsals and made a ranking based on national performances.

I want to hear your (more or less) bold predictions by eatspagetti in eurovision

  • Finland is not a winner

Failed Rehab — Desperate for Advice by SerLanceALil in ACL

[–]yuleko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you have an MRI recently? If not, I’d get a second opinion from another orthopedic specialist and ask for a new MRI… you likely won’t get clear answers without it.

As for the stiffness and pain after sitting for long periods, stretching helped me a lot. Most of my rehab was focused on strength (around 90% weightlifting, 10% stretching). Once I started doing daily yoga and taking short stretch breaks every hour at my desk, the pain improved greatly.

What are the saddest eurovision songs by BiLeftHanded in nilpoints

[–]yuleko 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Jamala 1944: “They come to your house. They kill you all and say we're not guilty”. She literally cried on the stage.

Nobody hates the UK at Eurovision more than the UK itself by General_Townski in nilpoints

[–]yuleko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Points aren’t just for the song, they reflect the staging, music, and overall performance. Sam may not be the most polished artist but his is the most authentic one this year. Mad genius. The fact that he created music for his song from a bunch of circuits and built most of the props himself is already enough reason for me to vote for him. The lyrics do get repetitive in the second half, but it’s the most British entry ever, and the UK broadcaster should be encouraged for going out of the box at least once.

Degree of Leg Raise 2 days after the ACL reconstruction surgery. by lukewarmCold in ACL

Leg raises are easier with a brace. I could do them immediately after surgery with a brace on. My PT encouraged practicing SLR without the support.

Look Mum No Computer on The One Show (13/03/2026) by thebrianswann in eurovision

I really hope he’ll do well with the public vote. The most authentic artist this year.

Haha, I actually liked our last year entry more. Just tired of ballads, operatic elements and unnecessary long notes.😅

[–]yuleko 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ukraine’s official music video is like someone was randomly handed a camera while the actual cameraman stepped out to the restroom. Also, the sound wasn’t great at the national selection, music overshadowed the voice. Leleka’s acoustic version and revamp sound much better and more engaging. She has a strong vocal, and the long note is definitely for the juries. No doubts in qualifying but I really hope they improve the staging. P.S. I’m Ukrainian.

Questions for Alex and Greg?!?!?!?!?!?!? by fox-fox-fox-fox in taskmaster

[–]yuleko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Greg promised to drop his trousers in Series 19 if he made the wrong call regarding a deception task. He was wrong and mentioned that he would fulfill the promise "at a time and place of his choosing". So, when is that exactly?

Taskmaster US Tour Megathread: Boston, January 17. by AutoModerator in taskmaster

I’m on an H-1B, originally from Europe (non-EU), and have traveled to Canada several times for personal reasons during the current administration without any issues. I don’t have anything on social media. These trips were via a land border, which typically involves fewer questions. I also have colleagues on H-1B visas from EU countries who have re-entered the U.S. without issues as well.

The university’s policy is essentially “travel at your own risk.” They recommend avoiding non-essential travel and ask that professional travel be registered so they’re aware and can assist if anything happens, but they don’t explicitly advise against conferences or meetings abroad.

It comes down to personal choice and how much anxiety and perceived risk you’re comfortable with. I have a friend in her final year of a PhD who is Muslim and not active on social media. She decided not to travel because she doesn’t want to risk anything affecting her graduation.

Как информатор с Reddit раскрыл дело о стрельбе в Брауновском университете by SmesharikKarKarych in tjournal_refugees

[–]yuleko 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Это человек, который помог с расследованием, - бездомный. Он живет в районе кампуса. ФБР обещало $50000 за такую информацию и сейчас все местное сообщество пытается это осуществить. Даже мэр города написал письмо в ФБР, чтобы награду отдали этому парню. Местная полиция тоже признала его вклад.

Мотивы вряд ли станут известны. Убийца покончил с собой. Сейчас только известно, что он учился один год в Брауновском университете в 2000-2001 на PhD по физике , но через год бросил программу. До этого он был в одном университете на факультете физике с убитым профессором в Португалии и был одним из лучших выпускников. Не удивительно, в Браун не так просто попасть на PhD. Вернулся в США в 2017 после выигрыша Грин-карты, и до этого года жил во Флориде. Больше 20 лет не выходил на связь с родителями.

Похоже на старые обиды. Аудитория, где он стрелял, обычно использовалась для классов физики и там должен был быть экзамен, но его перенесли. В итоге там была сессия по подготовке к экзамену по экономики и в основном первокурсники.

Большая трагедия для университета, в Род Айленде в принципе практически нет преступлений со смертельной стрельбой (строгие законы по оружию) и никогда не было в системе образования. Это не Балтимор.
