Man on the high castle thing. Enjoyable fiction and the TV series wasn't bad but... Germany wasn't as set on world domination than was claimed. In the early days they saw Britain as an ally. Britain, after all, was the one with a world wide empire and powerful Navy. Germany isn't well situated to be a naval power. The French, otoh, mightily pissed them off. Even then I think they would have gotten bored with herding French cats and given the whole mess back to Petain or whoever.

The Mongols DID push way up into Russia - and WERE especially ruthless. That DID leave a cultural imprint. However before the Mongols there were the Rus. They also had a rep for being hard-asses. The Byzantines hired them as shock troops. The Rus ... well ... there was a migration of people up along the Caucases as the ice age was fading. When they got as far north as they could some went east, some went west. Basically the same group and, though a bit dispersed, a similar underlying culture. Hard land, hard journeys, hard people. Peruse archeological sites. The info is there, down to the genetics. > Further south it shades into the middle eastern Turkic peoples of the > 'stans..

But they ARE hard-asses ... and Putin is one of those. Very 'old school' when it comes to power and control. "Westerners" sometimes FORGET that. Not a good habit.

Russians today *look* different. Mad Bad Vlad has a distinctly Asian look. As do many of his compatriots, and indeed people in Estonia and other neighbouring countries. Whereas the Slavic peoples of eastern Europe and Scandinavia look - different. as do the more Germanic people of western Europe, let alone the Mediterranean peoples Western Russia is where the Mongol Hordes were finally checked. Ultimately they comprised more Turkic peoples than Mongolian, at least in the West. As far as China is concerned they were in fact mongol/chinese. Most people have realised that Putins oligarchs simply do not *think* the same way that westerners do. And the ones that did are now somewhere else keeping their heads down The Slavic peoples are the buffer zone. Ukraine Belarus some parts of west Russia, then Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Sorbs, Kashubians, and Silesians. And further south Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians, Slovenes, Bosniaks, Macedonians, and Montenegrins. These people, who were all part of the USSR, all chose not to be when the chance came. While Russia may indeed carry some of that culture, it also carries the culture of Ghengis Khan, the man who built the biggest land empire the world has ever seen through violence, murder and ethnic cleansing. Putin fancies himself as that man. -- I would rather have questions that cannot be answered... ...than to have answers that cannot be questioned Richard Feynman

In the early '60s he tried to get recognition for the Holodomor. Decades later it is still little known compared to another event with a better PR campaign. In the early '60s that one wasn't included in every discussion either. The local Sons of Norway club brought over a group of Norwegian teenagers who played traditional music, There was a young man that I assumed was Native American until the group started playing and he was introduced as a Saami. He could easily pass for a Kootenai.

Hello from Russia. It is not near 1980s, when USSR where near point of total collapse.

They tried to bomb ME with drone on 6 aug 2024 near Sudzha, when I was evacuating my mother from her house. They surely know that while Volkswagen Polo is a civilian car, I saw their recon drones for last two days near her house flying here and there. Gladly, my car was in perfect condition and I was able to push to 140+kmh speed to evade that drone, which suddenly "reselected" it's target and bombed... Harvester! Such a military target! I was right near wheat field and saw it by my own eyes, between Dolgie Budy and Bushmeno. >> Even Zelensky held a press conference promising to hunt down whoever made >> such a bad decision.

Its pure terrorism. And then you'll look at pictures and MOST casualties wearing military form. Or even "better" - Ukraine tries to intercept drone/rocket, but Patriot, built 25+ years before, made a strike in a civilian house. Plenty of reports about Russia hitting civilian building with Iskander/Oreshnik/you_name_it, but photos images much less powerful weapon, like anti-airborne missiles. >> You should be familiar with the process.

This is just plain wrong propaganda: 1. Plenty of Diesel on every gasoline station, only petroleum (a.k.a. AI-92/AI-95) is a temporary problem. 2. Banks are working, was in Sberbank on Thursday because my MIR card expired. ATMs working fine and, as always, plenty of people near Sberbank ones withdrawing cash and paying mortrages/socials. 2.1. Also, we have MIR Pay now, so Google Pay/Apple Pay disablement isn't a problem at all. 2.2. Also, all banks implemented a way to pay via QR code. 3. Wildberries still delivering without problems, but I prefer OZON. Plenty of their (Wildberries) cars on roads, and big warehouse near my city is working fine. 4. And I can pay for everything everywhere with bank card/MIR Pay/QR code. In Ashan, Lenta or small SELPO shop in 150km from Ekaterinburg. > Putin is hitting civilians because his armaments are mostly crap. The ones that get through - the supersonic ballistic missiles - are simply not very accurate, and the subsonic drones are mostly being shot down, So they are going to miss. Putin doesn't care.

What is causing this, people thinking petrol is going to end soon? If so, good to see that that stupid trend is universal... On April 28, 2025, I did see roads stopped still because some idiots decided the thing to do in the middle of a blackout (and grid bootstrap) was to go refuel like there's no tomorrow. >>> For example, while some of the articles became more balanced today's hot >>> headline was >>> >>> "Russian strike near Kyiv kills 37, in one of the year's deadliest >>> attacks" >>> >>> https://www.npr.org/2026/08/29/nx-s1-5948714/russian-strike-kyiv >>> >>> Dastardly attack on civilians!

Wasn't it a news item a few months ago that Elon Musk actively hampered Ukraine's access to Starlink in military attacks? (Which, given that the US was clearly aiding Ukraine, might even count as "Treason against the United States" (U.S. Const. Art.III §3)) >> Putin is on the edge of being deposed. His 'elections' are due. He >> is desperate to be able to say 'NATO attacked us 'and we are winning >> in Ukraine'. What? 1) If anything, Russia is repeatedly trying to trigger some reaction from NATO with continuing incidents in Washington Treaty territory. 2) Russia saying others attacked Russia isn't newsworthy at all. It has been consistently a m.o. of Russia through *decades*. See, e.g. the Shelling of Mainila [1], which was fabricated as a casus belli to start the Winter War. In more recent years, this was still a propaganda point within Russia, with Medvedev claiming something along the lines of "Russia or the Soviet Union have never started a war"[2]. I think in the past few months there have been more Article 5-worthy incidents? 3) If elections posed a real threat to his permanence, you'd think he'd have been shown the door several years ago. I mean, I guess things could change...

The problem here is probably more about globalisation, the payment system may be local, but that's no good if you need to do a transaction with a foreign entity which refuses do to such a transfer from/to the Russian Federation. It's good that such systems exist, and bank cards with a national + an international network also aren't new technology (in the current context in Europe, it seems some people might just not be aware that you can have an EMV smartcard on more than one network, - but SIBS has done this for *ages* with Multibanco, meaning you get a card that both works in a national network (SIBS Multibanco) and on one international network (usually Visa or MasterCard)). > 3.

Wildberries is "the Russian Amazon" and Ukraine has been bombing the shit out of their warehouses in the past few weeks, justifying it based on them stocking drone components, I have no way of knowing if that's true, but it seems to be the first part of the war that everyday Russians have taken notice of?

I have more interesting thought here - UA tries to do a mirrored response, as Nova Poshta trucks was (and still) used to transfer military equipment and personnel. But why OZON (another "Russian Amazon" thing) warehouses wasn't bombed? Because they're not so popular here, as Wildberries. And why now? Because bombing oils refineries isn't made internal situation as unstable as they hope. -- WBR, Stanislav Nikitin a.k.a. pztrn.

Exactly that was happened in 2022. I think the very last drop in a cup of patience was Zelenskiy's statements about reinstating nuclear weaponry in UA. But, of course, I might be wrong, it can be whole Minsk's agreements violations UA caused for 7 years. Also, EU politics of these times (around mid-2010's) confesses that these Minsk's agreements was a fake to put as much weapons as possible in UA. -- WBR, Stanislav Nikitin a.k.a. pztrn.

This is different from US rules that generally accept that it is economically impossible to keep huge chicken farms salmonella free, so it is the responsibility of consumers to cook check meat well. As I understand the issue at hand (please correct me where I am wrong): Ukraine (like UK) is outside the EU and has looser rules. Normally, EU would keep out food not produced to EU standards, but they gave a waiver to Ukraine in order to support her in the war. When this led to problems, he waiver was rescinded in the EU, but not yet so in the UK. -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California

I thought that it would be about washing or not the eggs. I know that
eggs are washed in the USA (dunno about Canada). In Spain they are not
(I don't know about the EU).

Hmm ... 'preserved'. If you mean "Won't KILL you" then silicate-sealed eggs might fit the bill. But do NOT expect them to taste very good :-) Modern 'preserved' - MRE's and dehydrated - will last a number of years, maybe a good 10 with dehydrated, but every year the taste gets worse.

I can't find them locally although there is a place in Spokane that might have them.
