Modern phones 😦 in situations where the phone barely gets a signal (one bar), the battery dies especially fast (from 10 in the morning)

An interesting article about running technique

With these Wikipedia blockages, our state is acting on the principle of “cutting off the nose to spite the face”. Wikipedia doesn’t earn money from advertising, therefore, 30 million people a month (5%) from Russia are not as significant to it as to, say, the same audience for Google, YouTube, or Facebook. Okay, maybe they won’t watch – they won’t contribute? But donations from Russia – $442K out of $24000K a year, which is 2%. In Italy, donations are 1.5 times higher with a population (and therefore audience coverage) three times smaller and half the number of page loads compared to Russia. Something to think about, who actually got punished.

It would be utterly absurd to say “let’s create our own local Wikipedia.” Cyril and Methodius?…

How to explain that from my mobile phone via Beeline 4G, any websites banned by Roskomnadzor open? Grani.ru, Kasparov.ru and others. I specifically found the registry and clicked through.

P.S. Definitely not WiFi, but 4G.

P.p.s Figured it out, Denis Sobolev is right, traffic compression by Google servers was enabled

We are watching “Cinderella” now. Cinderella loses her glass slipper. Masha: “Dad, will they cut off fingers there?”

In the Muzeon, there’s a cafe named LES, and they have a cash register on an iPad. It comes with a cash drawer and a receipt printer nearby. First time I’ve seen it, interesting solution.

I don’t know which one specifically, but I found one like Poster online,

A folk tale vividly illustrating how the purest intent to give a child everything best can unimaginably shatter their life.

About the expectations that parents set for their children, the desire to make them into what they themselves want, despite their sincere love for them and not heeding the children’s own desires.

The animation is unusual and not very familiar at first, and its multilayered meaning makes this cartoon on one hand similar to previous Ghibli creations, on the other – completely different. For example, the “drawing” – a stunning watercolor paradise for the eyes! Each frame, like an illustration from a book of distant childhood – here there is no saturation of colors and detailed work that existed in previous paintings. This style complements the essence of the cartoon very, very successfully.

In the end, it turned out to be a kind cartoon for children, but at the same time, gloomy for adults.

Today marked our first major family wipeout. I went too fast down the hill without any protection and couldn’t handle the speed. Earlier today, just three hours before, Lisa fell similarly, off a ripstick on flat ground, and today, Masha also took an awkward fall on the ice from a flip. All of us injured our right knees (and I also hurt my elbow).

Dmitry Voloshin interestingly, are IT professionals trained in the skill of professionally communicating with a client – whoever they might be, a boss or an external customer? No kidding, I’m talking about the ability to structure thoughts, to present them from the general to the particular, from the important to the less important, to ask questions, to use professional vocabulary, to construct a logically connected speech or narrative in technical texts – something that is traditionally associated with the position of an IT analyst? Are they taught this in tech project emails?)
