Ah. OK. That's nicer. Makes sense in the time of consumer hardware dominating frontlines.

That be radar or the bombe's?

Lasers are more useful in surveillance and navigation and guidance and precision work in production, for a weapon they are, most of the time, out of place. Expensive, unreliable and weak.

I also don’t know to what extent Putin’s power is limited.

To no extent, but it's more of a gang than a monarchy.

If you have any resources comparing modern Russia to pre-Soviet Russia, I’d be interested in reading more.

I'll look for them, what I say is a digest of a lot of little things learned, so.

The document you've linked talks about common perceptions and not much else, it's short.

Anyway, nutrition is not just about amount of calories, one can consume a lot of calories but get scurvy.

BTW, the reason Soviet scurvy stats were not atrocious is that "sea cabbage" older generations remember (and hate, but it was there) being present in stores despite any deficit, and that all salt sold for food was iodised.

So - first, I'm not talking about amount of calories, second, I've read American food is notoriously bad nutrition-wise. Comparing USSR to Finland might be a better one.

It was a turnip replacement, I think, in most cuisines

You can look at any system ever used and the point of failure is always someone tipping the scales intentionally to favor those near them.

A bandit kills a traveler, the former is to blame because he initiated the action, the latter is to blame for being unarmed.

Those "tipping the scales intentionally to favor those near them" succeed because others don't help those closer to them first.

And you can tell worthy endeavor from unworthy one better when it's someone close to you. Thus more often helping the good things and more rarely helping the bad things.

So no, it does. Those near to you are on the opposite side of the spectrum from states, ideas and -isms. They are also more like you, as opposed to things you don't know. Your life is just your own life. Unique and only one.

While true, this can be done by Italians to other nations with Worcestershire sauce, baklava and principate though.

And borsch wasn't red. It's called because of the plant that was the main ingredient.

Which is mostly not used now because of its intentionally bred toxic relative being a really problematic invasive species in all of former USSR and around.

And another thing that "wasn’t introduced until westward exploration" is English-speaking Americans

Rather they want new vulnerabilities to go right to the market and remain unknown for longer, because that makes the surveillance and other criminal activity by the government easier.

Oh, so NOSTR is not hated here anymore. Good Anakin good.

Seriously, an amazingly successful platform.

People always want to try subtler and subtler tech, and NOSTR's dumb architecture with relays is something that could only be conceived by people not that fond of tech brilliance. And that's good and right! And if those people are cryptobros, then so be it, they found the right way and this is what matters.

They had a task one can't solve with classic P2P, because mobile devices and energy consumption and uptime. They solved it the old-fashioned way which is still right, kinda like Usenet, except reducing news servers to asynchronous relays.

NOSTR already has some standard extensions for moderated communities, I'm just not sure if there are any clients supporting that.
