A regime like Putin’s is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.

I have heard that you should divide by two and add 7.
I am 40, so that would mean I should be attracted to 27 year olds and up. Generally, it checks out. Caveats may apply, as people are, you know, different.
You sure about scihub? I am finished without it. Do you know what’s going on there?
Did you try sci hub for the separate chapters (if they have separate doi)?
well, they had it coming
Is this the company that was criticised for banning adult content?
How long before they go bankrupt?
Why is he Andy Bernard from the Office?
F you, Uber.
They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:
Good job, government. Well done.
Try to put them in the mood?
That’s a problem. I used to get news almost immediately from Reddit. Now I am a bit stuck on that front and so far there is no reasonable alternative.
For example, I like to follow chess news. I stumbled upon a piece of news on the wider internet that Hans Nieman and Magnus Carlsen had resolved their dispute. It wasn’t very much reported on, so I checked old.reddit/r/chess to see what’s going on. The first detailed thread on the matter had been opened and active, like, 5 minutes after the announcement.
At this point, nothing on the internet can compete with this.
It is kind of the same with world news and Ukraine war coverage.
So, yeah. After getting off of Reddit, I have lost the ability to be quickly informed about news. Mastodon is not much help and I don’t want to fuel Elon Twitter’s BS, so I am stuck.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Nothing. She has no time to read Excel spreadsheets.
I love how they combine it all with light banter. Without the banter, most of the episode would be unlistenable, as you would be too depressed and tie yourself on a train track.
For history:
Revolutions by Mike Duncan. You can start with the Haitian and the Mexican revolutions. Then just listen to whichever season you want.
Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.
The History of Rome by Mike Duncan.
These are absolutely amazing.
Honorable mentions for Behind the Bastards and Lions Lead by Donkeys, if you like some banter along with the story telling.
Edit: someone in here reminded me about Your Undivided Attention. It is, literally and without irony, the most important podcast you could ever listen.
Good riddance
IQ scores, in the way they are currently used, are absolutely useless and cannot tell you who is smart and who is not. They tell you who is good at taking tests.
I highly recommend the podcast series “My Year in Mensa” - it is a nice little story showing that high IQ probably does not account for much.
To your question - the answer is humility. Be humble and understanding. Everyone has something to offer.
These tech companies leaving certain places to avoid regulation, while sucking up to censorship laws in Russia and the likes… They can shove it, if you ask me.
Do you even billionaire, bro?
The fact that they seem to really have expected a Biden “pardon” is absolutely hilarious to me.
