In our region, there’s been a lot of talk about the nuclear summit in Washington attended by 50 heads of state, which Russia declined to participate in.

According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Moscow refused to participate in the summit due to the unconstructive stance of the American side.

In the States, there’s nothing like Yandex.Music. [UPDATE: Spotify was finally found, my Android was in Russian mode until today] I’m talking about a FREE service. There are plenty of paid ones. The only place where you can listen to music for free, almost any kind, is Youtube. But there, you end up streaming video as well, even though it’s not needed at all. For a mobile phone, it’s totally unnecessary, not only because of data usage but also battery drain. So if anyone happens to know a decent service similar to Yandex.Music that works in the states, please share. P.S. VKontakte works, but a) it’s slow b) it’s very inconvenient to listen to albums and compilations there, as there is hardly any grouping by artists and albums.

Most TV channels online broadcast only to subscribers. The Oscars were broadcast by ABC in just 10 US cities. When you visit almost any TV channel’s website, in order to watch a live broadcast, you need to enter a login and password from your provider, which informs the channel that you have a subscription to the broadcast.

“Deadly Sins. Extended Edition

On the official website of the Nikolsky Church of the Lipetsk diocese, an expanded list of sins (a total of 473 items) has been published for confession preparation. Lots of interesting entries, for example, for women:

β€” Sinned hoping “God will forgive”;

β€” Disgusted to kiss icons,

β€” Tempted in a dream and passionately remembered it;

β€” Grumbled about bad roads;

β€” Angrily criticized the authorities at rallies.

β€” Spent time in worldly games and entertainments: checkers, backgammon, bingo, cards, chess, rolling pins, ryoohi, Rubik’s cube, and others;

I do not know what ryoohi are, but I really felt the urge to play.

Overall, this whole list slightly resembles those sort of achievements, some of which are tempting to unlock.

UPD. The list has now been removed from the site, but GOOGLE CACHE remembers everything.”
