my 26th. still life from life

A very interesting investigation. True, it’s old—it’s already two years old. But the problem with these machines in the fields persists even now.

A very interesting story about Joseph Smith and his Church of Mormons in the USA from a person who has been part of this community for a long time. Many influential people among the parishioners. I once visited our local LDS to have a closer look. I will leave its photo in the comments

Good interview. Abbyy is one of the few companies from Russia that has always elicited the most positive emotions in me. @[100000746471368:2048:Ksenia Chabanenko], wishing you the most interesting guests!

My lunch today

I’m putting up a drum set for sale on Facebook Marketplace, and my interface is set to French. Rare, but regularly, this brings something new. This time I learned that in French, a drum kit is called ‘la batterie’. It seemed, what does a battery have to do with it?

It seems that this happened because another meaning of this word is a set, a collection of something, for example une batterie de toilette – “a set of toiletries” or une batterie d’outils – a set of tools.

But in addition to that, there is also the verb battre – to beat. So, indeed, here two meanings intertwine. And of course, a battery also refers to a group of artillery guns or in the case of apartment heating, a set of heating elements. Such are the discoveries)

The hardest part about chess.com is stopping yourself from clicking New Game right after the previous ten-minute game ends. It feels like you just started playing, and suddenly it’s half past one in the morning.

Interesting. The first photo with lens correction enabled in the settings. I didn’t mistype, it’s indeed enabled. Which means the wide face is the default. And the second one – with it turned off. Front camera
