Not to belittle what is experienced by Ukrainians, but the Russian Federation is truly not at war - yet. The mobilization has barley started and seems to be mismanaged, the industry has not been transformed to war effort, the legal system w

"more mobilization" Not likely since the mobilization system is saturated and not coping well with the current volume. In fact, the schedule regular mobilization has been delayed for thi reason. "red line" Many red lines

I had a conversation about translations with an actual author, some things I learned from him * It is not possible to specify in advance how a good translation looks like, it is one of those "I know it is good when I see it". Natu

An episode of The Office (US). In that episode Pam, who is pregnant and has contractions, would not go to the hospital before midnight because "the healthcare provider will not pay for more then two nights." That wasn't even
