Personal gains as in hoping to become the next dictator - he gambled and lost. Nothing more, nothing less. As I said, I don't believe anyone in russia wants to change the system on either political level or social level. From what I ca

Assuming anyone wants to change it to begin with. You know the 5 monkeys experiment? In reality, russia is simply a large scale version of it - "this is how it is and the way it's always been".

That's what I mean by naive. I doubt you'd find anyone from a country that was a member of the Warsaw pact with a functioning brain that would disagree with me. I'm saying that being a representative myself. And you really do

I switched jobs very recently. I landed my current one through a friend who was pushing me hard to join his company for well over a year. This needs a bit of a background story: I landed my old job the regular way and with a bit of deceptio

Something to note: I would not trust a single sentence coming from this site, knowing who is running it - he is no way affiliated with the Bulgarian military or army and is likely on russia's payroll.

I'm not surprised. AI tools can be great at providing a quick, working example in simple scenarios, but it's just that: a quick(often dirty) working example. But I've seen people taking it as-is and putting it into a producti

Shame. Many years ago I got a fossil (hybrid) watch(I believe the model was called Nate or something). Unfortunately it broke and it couldn't be fixed. At the time fossil had already given up on the model and the app that came with it.
