Is being left/right handed have anything to do with people's preference to park on the left/right side?

I personally go wherever there is a spot or wherever is more convenient to manoeuvre the car towards.

Imagine if handedness played a very big role though...

My dance teacher was telling us that we are likely much better at right hand (dance) turns if we are right handed (or left turns for left handed people), which I have definitely noticed, (which isn't driving, but kind of related sort of ??)

I haven't noticed preferring any direction when parking.

It's physically easier to park on the right hand side because we drive on the left so the angle you approach a RHS park from is much easier. You have to swing out a lot more for LHS.

What are your thoughts on the new UI?

I'm just hoping that what I listen to on desktop actually scrobbles to last.fm.

Probably haven't used it enough to know too much but looks quite clean. What do you think about it?

My scrobbles have been working fine today :)

I also noticed there are some more personalised playlists (or mixes) based on genre, artist, decade although I don't really use pre-made playlists that much.

Mine hasn't updated yet, but from what I've seen, it does indeed look clean.

Good to hear that Spotify is making more personalised playlists - can help people branch out more with their music. Although, I've found them to be a hit-and-miss.

What changes in the UI have there been for Spotify? Haven't noticed anything different - also updated just then?

I think they are rolling it out to users in an increment fashion, because mine got updated yesterday, but Sine's seem to be updated before that

What are your thoughts on the new UI?

I like it, it looks modern and well laid out

My hair is at that length where its so bouncy it could act as a helmet. Just casually hitting myself on the head like a totally normal person because the bounce amuses me.
