I wonder why neither phones nor laptops have yet learned to self-organize into a network without any centralization in the form of access points or mobile antennas? It’s technologically simple.

“I do not trust women

They are cunning and sly

They glue nails to nails

Draw eyebrows on eyebrows”

Skating: Who would teach me how to quickly turn around on skates from moving backwards to facing the road? Well, I know how to face the road, but it’s quite a harsh way to stop. I can turn around at speed facing backwards, but then I have to significantly reduce the speed to turn back. I might need to watch some video courses before the next season)

Yesterday, the State Duma approved in the second reading the bill “On Amending Article 4 of the Federal Law ‘On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation Concerning the Specification of the Procedure for Processing Personal Data in Information and Telecommunication Networks’

(concerning the specification of the effective date).”

In short, all online stores with a Russian version hosted “there” should consider creating a local version here in Russia. And we are always ready.

P.S. I wonder if there will be a third-order nesting of “On Amending…”?

The day before yesterday, I heard a poem by Mayakovsky about clouds at least a hundred times, which Masha found difficult to grasp. And yesterday, I tried explaining it to Alice, who was learning Russian. Indeed, Mayakovsky is untranslatable. So, does anyone have thoughts on what part of speech, or what form the word “сжирав” is? 😉 And the poem is excellent:

Clouds were floating across the sky.

Four little clouds in all:

from the first to the third — people,

the fourth was a little camel.

Driven by curiosity,

a fifth one tagged along on the road,

from it, in the azure embrace of the sky,

elephants scattered after a little elephant.

And I don’t know if it was the sixth that scared them,

but all ten clouds just melted away.

And following them, chasing and devouring,

the sun chased after them — a yellow giraffe.

[1917—1918]

In “Sklif” on the first floor there’s this cool American vintage telephone. At the bottom it reads “Not for sale. Property of General Telephone”.

Is there a guess why this crap is in the center of the gate? The answer “against cars” is sad – a car can squeeze through the gates if the “ears” are closed, and besides – who would think of going there? Probably, after all, against wheelchairs and blind pedestrians.
