Today I've learned you can have a "currency shortage" instead of just being broke due to unrealistic, non-market exchange ratio. It's a pity that Russia has just one able-minded turkic woman with a collection of brooches

I can't imagine any new development not being prohibitively expensive.

Much better now when these agreements are abolished? Right?

That's obviously false because it is too strong of a claim to ever be true.

UN resolutions as I imagine are in the form of "We all agreed it is a good idea if we collectively did the following". Then of course every side can just walk away from such memorandum once it becomes taxing without moral repercus

"Image may not be republished without permission." I wonder what is the legal status of doing a photo of other country's territory and then selling that photo without the consent of the country on display.

What real footage? As far as I noticed there are two bodies in Iran stories on the timespan of a year, one of which is still warm. It is a horrible personal tragedy, but as far as social struggle goes, not so much. There are likely much mor

> Iran's brutal crackdown of late We only know about Iran's brutal crackdown of late from western NGOs and their thralls. Heck, most of Iranians themselves are likely getting these news from these sources, and not from direct o

Why do you assume it isn't a conspiracy? It is. It is absolutely a conspiracy. WSJ, NYT or Guardian know which words are allowed for Iran and which are for Saudis.

How about being held accountable at least once? That did not happen yet. The best thing that we hear is some random liberal american "not approving" Iraq or Libya invasions.

So it turned out just this week that the prominent democratic opposition figure, the guy behind the anti-authoritarian icon Pussy Riot and the anti-war, pacifist often-cited media Mediazona, brags that he is enlisted in Armed Forces of Ukr

Unfortunately, this is very true. If we look at public opposition to authoritarian regimes, we will see layers upon layers of NGO pets and very few independent figures. It is so apparent that they actually discredit the idea of opposing aut

What's wrong with that? It's not an UN manifesto but an US video game.

I don't think they lack skills on Cyprus and in Denmark. Hungarians are also quite bright. Sure, I don't expect that Finland's economy would just implode. Developed countries don't do that. But it's quite possible i

Can their salaries, and productivity, be compared with Finland though? My point was, Finland is doing several different things, most of which may now be done cheaper elsewhere.

More often than not, the original message in the first place was a distraction. You do not get to dictate the direction of discussion to your peers and having them go along. So what are they distracting it from?

by thriftwy 3y ago
Why do people bother typing in accusations in the discussion that they know would be widely overturned in the opposing direction? That's not a tabloid, you cannot force text on your audience and have their "what about" heard

I'm frankly not sure why you expect the level of Finland to remain where it was. 20 years ago Russian writer Viktor Pelevin remarked that "we are like a banana republic that has to import its bananas from Finland". But fast f

C++ is definitely the most used puzzle language. It is masked by the fact it is based on C which is non-puzzle. So you can always drop to get things done layer.

Very funny that it comes from WSJ, which preapproved all of these narratives in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-criticism_(Marxism–Lenini...

I don't see how professional judges are forced into taking evidence into an account. As far as I know, they get a lot of money, funny hair and get to do whatever they want with no checks. It's a mystery why it would work even part

Lame is the most popular encoder so it is highly likely you have listened to its output.

Having these routes are no problem if you add five times as much pragmatic routes. On almost every city map in the US you can see a railway crossing it, usually in the downtown behind a large mall that should also double as a rail station i

Not the best option for those, then. Amtrak seems to be in "excursion mode" where they would promote routes that are way too long but scenic, instead of aiming to join many mid-population proximate cities and make sure passengers

Chicago to NYC is actually a bit out of reach for night trains (which you should absolutely take and absolutely sleep as a baby on your berth) being 1150 km as crow flies. There was a comfortably scheduled night Helsinki to Moscow train whi

Russia (and some other ex-USSR states) has a large amount of passenger rail (long distance, commuter and the new thing that is daytime quick inter-regional trains) and also a large amount of freight as well. It helps that most of main lin

Why is a competitive carbon-neutral system of moving people between cities up to 1000 km apart an anachronism?

You can sleep and read a book during these 17 hours, though.
