Russians outside Russia for the last 100 years have contributed literature, music, movies, and helped to introduce Russian cultural aspects to the West. In the past 30 years this only accelerated. Even before this war there were huge number

In many ways, Russian culture has been preserved better outside of Russia than inside. Russians have had a tendency over last few hundred years to absorb other cultures rapidly, thus changing their own. French, Italian, English, now America

The discount that China and India get compared to spot price for being the only customers must be substantial, though undisclosed, as far as I know. China and India are winning here, while Russia is forced to accept low prices.

Chicken of the woods has an odd texture. Kind of gritty. So though it's abundant where we live, most mushroom hunters don't pick them. Cutting off and eating just the edge gives you a better texture than the entire mushroom.

I agree with you and just would like to note that me mentioning Ayn Rand came about because the original comment that I was replying to initially had her mentioned. The author must have edited it to remove her.

I may be wrong about the regulation of this, but in effect that's the case. Maybe it's what realtors consider bedrooms, but that's how our house was listed when we bought it and three different unrelated realtors told us the

But the point is that Russia does nothing to prevent Finland from joining NATO. The comment I was replying to claimed that the Ukraine war is all about NATO expansion.

The Russian public has proven that it can collectively switch to believing whatever needs to be believed in order to continue the war. NATO is simply an excuse to reintegrate Ukraine into the Russian empire that it was part of for very long

Merkel was widely misquoted. Here's what she actually said. Note that she referred to Ukraine getting more time in order to mature enough to maybe join NATO, not to be able to fight Russia on its own: "I thought that the introduct

Purely guessing, but I can see a power plant that delivers base payload to mine on the side to make use of the energy not used by the grid. Coal plants usually produce more electricity than needed. Why not use it?
