Zelensky said he did not call to hit the Russian Federation with nuclear weapons

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he did not mean the use of nuclear weapons against the Russian Federation when he called on NATO members to “preemptive strikes” on Russia. On Friday, October 7, TASS reports.

According to the Ukrainian leader, his speech was about new Western sanctions, which, in his opinion, can and should prevent a nuclear war.

“The world can present a sanctions package in this case and do everything possible for them to leave the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,” Zelensky said.

The politician also lamented that his statements about “preemptive strikes” were initially misunderstood, after which Moscow began to use the resonant statement “in a favorable manner and relay it in other directions.”

The fact that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should not wait for the possible use of nuclear weapons by Moscow, but should strike on its own, Zelensky said the day before during an online conference held by the Austrian think tank Lowy Institute. “What should NATO do? Eliminate the possibility of Russia using nuclear weapons. But what is important, I once again appeal to the international community, as it was before February

Official: Germans using too much gas to avoid energy crisis

BERLIN — Germans are using too much gas to avoid a potential energy “emergency” this winter, the head of Germany’s national network regulator warned Thursday.

“Gas consumption increased by too much last week,” said Klaus Mueller, head of Germany’s network agency.

With the reduction in natural gas flows from Russia amid the war in Ukraine, German officials have urged citizens to cut back on gas usage and conserve energy heading into the colder months.

Rather than a reduction in gas consumption, figures from the national network regulator show there has been an increase in usage. Last week’s gas consumption among households and small businesses was nearly 10% higher than the average consumption from 2018 to 2021, they said.

“We will hardly be able to avoid a gas emergency in winter without at least 20% savings in the private, commercial and industrial sectors,” Mueller said. “The situation can become very serious if we do not significantly reduce our gas consumption.”

‘Industry’ Creators Talk Season 3 Possibility and ‘Massive’ Plans

HBO’s Industry has finished its second season on the network, and it ended on a rather dramatic note.

The show follows a group of graduates who are trying to make it as investment bankers at the company Pierpoint & Co, no matter what they need to do to get the position.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Industry Season 2.

Season 2 saw Harper (Myha’la Herrold) be given quite the shock after a season of her doing everything she can to keep her spot at the investment bank.

In the Season 2 finale, Harper’s past actions came back to haunt her as she was fired from Pierpoint for forging her college transcript so that she could get the position at the company.

That wasn’t all that happened to Harper in the show’s latest season as she found herself trying to cheat her way into getting a client’s investment to work out, and she even took part in insider trading.

3 Cryptocurrencies to Buy on the Dip

The crypto market has had a rough year. While that can be discouraging at times, it also makes right now a fantastic buying opportunity.

Buying the dip, or investing when prices are lower, is not only a more affordable way to invest, but it can also set you up for enormous returns. If the crypto market rebounds, you could make a lot of money by investing now.

Choosing the right cryptocurrency can be tough, however. While all cryptocurrencies are still speculative at the moment, there are three that could be fantastic options right now.

1. Ethereum

Ethereum (ETH -7.81%) has been making headlines lately due to its latest update, “The Merge.” This upgrade will move the network from a proof-of-work (PoW) mining protocol to the far more energy-efficient proof-of-stake (PoS) model.

As a result, Ethereum is expected to use around 99% less energy. The PoW protocol has long been criticized for its energy consumption, but after this update, Ethereum will be much more efficient.

The downside to “The Merge” is that it will not make a noticeable difference when it comes to Ethereum’s sluggish speeds and high transaction costs. However, it will set the stage for future updates that

Ethereum, the 2nd biggest crypto network, slashes its energy use

The world’s second-biggest cryptocurrency network, Ethereum, is about to pivot to a new system that will use vastly less electricity.

Why it matters: One of the biggest knocks on cryptocurrencies centers on the enormous amount of energy its networks consume. But with this change, trading in one of the leading currencies will be no more energy-intensive than playing an online video game.

How it works: Cryptocurrency networks use so-called “consensus mechanisms” to ensure that transactions are valid. Those tools keep track of who owns what and ensure that no one spends any currency that isn’t theirs.

  • The original consensus mechanism, “proof-of-work,” is the reason crypto uses so much energy.
  • Ethereum is switching to a new strategy, “proof-of-stake.” It’ll be an expensive shift, but after it happens, Ethereum’s energy use might only be about 1% of what it was before, according to the Ethereum Foundation.
  • The switch, known as The Merge, is expected to happen a bit after midnight Eastern Time tonight. Users shouldn’t notice anything different once it happens.

Yes, but: Up till now, Ethereum has used a lot of power, but Bitcoin has always been — and will continue to be — the industry’s biggest energy user, by far.
