Much of the respect we have for Russian education goes back to the excellent STEM education they had in the Soviet days. This has largely been eroded away in modern times, and much of the technology and infrastructure they have are being held together by Soviet educated older folks.
There are places that just have this too:
He means they only know how to shit in a hole in the ground. That kind of poverty tends to not go hand in hand with the top educational institutions.
Yes but I doubt they are getting sent to Ukraine. The ethnic minority regions that Russia keeps dirt poor are sent 70:1 in some cases compared to recruits from Moscow. And I’d bet it’s a big ratio also between the well educated and poorly educated in Moscow too.
That’s a pity. I work for a large US software company and after the war began, we made a decision to close all operations inside Russia.
We gave our employees in Russia a choice, they could either stay in Russia and get a pretty nice severance package, or they could move out of Russia and get a pretty nice repatriation package to the country of their choosing. Many went to expensive places like Sweden and got their packages converted to local pay with many months extra pay for moving expenses.
We didn’t fire any Russians living outside of Russia, of course. Assuming everyone from a country is a spy is pretty silly.
This shit isn’t world news. It’s local news. I don’t need to hear about every murder happening in every corner of the world.
So why isn’t it happening?
Mouse tits?
I am the same. I can’t smell shit. But I think in the absence of something stronger, your body starts to tune in on whatever the next strongest taste is. At least that’s my experience.
I think that what you will realize if you do it is that other tastes become far more pronounced and you start to enjoy the medley of tastes that are inherent in food. And feeling better all of the time is a far bigger reward than a salty, sweet, oily taste just some of the time. At least that’s how it’s been in my life as I’ve improved on this continuum.
Well never hurts to be over prepared unless you hate wasting food.
But I would like to point out that you were expecting each participant at an unrealistic 100% turnout to eat roughly 20 cubes of cheese each. That’s not including all the other food there. That’s the better part of a whole package of cheese each that they were just supposed to chunk down their gullets?
That’s still way too much food even if everyone came. And everyone never comes.
The definition of “enemy combatant” was “anyone within the blast radius of a US strike”. I kid you not.
Unfortunately you can’t really turn off a nuclear reactor.
This was cringe even in the '90s.
This is exactly the point. They are already at full throttle war with the West. The only further escalation they could make would be nukes, which would be their end, NATO can take out all of Russias nuclear capacity and win the war in Ukraine all with conventional weapons.
Ah, should have checked the instance before bothering. Wasting my time on conversations with .ml bots again.
Poverty can explain most things.
