    the black market for luxury items will be booming again soon in russia

    the history repeats

    the whole thing is so ridiculous i can't even

    There's speculation that in the future western goods will be transported to Russia through Kazakhstan making it a transport hub. Which would in part explain why they would want to stay out of sanctions, in regards of not recognizing Donbas etc. Of course everything will be even more expensive, no guarantees, no official repair, geolocked software updates and app stores, etc.

    Russia has been cut off from western cloud and license services anyway like Adobe Creative Cloud, MATLAB, etc. I guess it's back to software piracy then where it's possible.

    How did you ever manage without inviting Russians invading to de-nazify? Truly astounding.

    One of the demands for peace after the Continuation War between Finland and Soviet Union in 1944 was actually to ban all "fascist" organizations in Finland which included the White Guard militias, Lotta Svärd paramilitary auxiliary organization and Academic Karelia Society. The Soviets set up a supervisory commission in Finland to make sure of that. Also they made sure that Åland archipelago in the Baltic Sea stays demilitarized by setting up a consulate that still operates there, which is a bit questionable now.. Anyway, Åland is still demilitarized although there are Finnish border guards.

    Fun fact: the demilitarization of Åland was originally included in the 1856 peace treaty after the Crimean War. How the circle closes..

    I'd happily call this IDM. It's techno only in name, i.e. it ticks the boxes technically speaking, but it's much more mangled and weird, which makes it ten times more fun to listen to than a regular old techno track.

    Well, I'm not very good at genre definitions.. Thanks!:beer:

    One of Russia's most faithful allies, Kazakhstan, refuses to recognize Donetks and Luhansk. This can get interesting. The Russian "peace keepers" were in Kazakhstan just a moment ago..

    "We, at this point, do not recognize either the Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) or the Donetsk [People's] Republic (DNR)," Tileuberdi told RFE/RL on April 5. But he said Kazakhstan “does not join" Western efforts to sanction Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

    “It is important for us to prevent negative affects of the sanctions [imposed on Russia] on the development of our economy, and it is important that our territory is not used to evade those sanctions," Tileuberdi said.

    Just said no to a big job. Don't know if it was the right thing to do?

    I've said no to a bunch of lucrative but horrible gigs lately. I need to pick something sooner or later. I'm maybe becoming to picky..

    Also kind of wondering is it ok to say to a recruiter that I don't want the job because honestly the product looks like crap? :cisfor:
