   According to this source [1] the quote was supposedly from a bishop's letter to the Patriarch of Moscow at the time. > Церковники распускали разные, порою до глупости нелепые слухи. Один из архиереев писал московскому митрополиту: «

   Some interesting facts about the Moscow's M. The Metro could have appeared as early as 1875 in Moscow, but the Russian Orthodox Church blocked it by claiming that "a man, created in the image of God, cannot humiliate himself by de

   Burnout, stress and health issues resulting from stationary way of life would have drove me away from CS 10 years ago had I known what I was getting into. It's a love-hate relationship for sure.

    A little off topic. Gobekli Tepe is a really fascinating find. The size of the pillars, the inscriptions, the intricate designs of the pottery and jewelry (with cleanly drilled holes in them) give a glimpse of a sophisticated civilization w

    I was flown out of base-camp with pulmonary edema along with a Sherpa on a climbing team who was dying from the same thing. Happens to everyone. This is probably the biggest scare if you're doing the trek to base-camp. Drink plenty of

    It's mostly YouTube. I've been listening to Joe Rogan's podcasts while working for some time now. I also subscribe to Joe Robinet for some bushcraft and camping stuff that I typically watch in the after-hours. DI.FM for music

    I'm sure $90K is a thing somewhere on the coasts. A typical starting salary around here (MO/KS) is $60-65K considering you have some internship experience. Otherwise it's usually in the mid 50s. Amazon offered $160K (bonus in
