Folks, who knows – what are the actual chances of getting a US visa for my mom (72 years old), living in Moscow region? I am worried that after paying the visa fee, one might wait for an interview for six months. Secondly, I’m not sure about how the situation is with visas for retirees. I have a green card, and mom owns an apartment (it seems like both points could be important for the process).

Nature creates some interesting things. This is a leaf insect (Phylliidae). They belong to an order with the amusing name “Phasmids.” Here is the anatomy https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5#/media/File:Phasmatodea_morphology.jpg

My new article on Hybrismart.com. Today about “merging carts,” beautifully translated into Russian as merging carts by someone. Essentially, this is when you enter an online store with a cart of products and log in under your account, which already has its own cart from the day before yesterday. What to do? There are five options, I dissect them, explain how it’s done in SAP Commerce, and how it could be done better. In general, for those who love proper e-commerce.

Came across an interesting fact that toilet paper appeared in the USSR eight years after Gagarin’s space flight. This speaks to the matter of priorities. In the USA, for example, it has been around since 1857.

A very cool popular lecture on particle physics by Dmitry Kazakov. It’s fresh, literally from the day before yesterday. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in how the world works. Despite its excessive “popularity”, which is dictated by the format of the Arché lectern, it’s very sensible. Watched for two hours without taking my eyes off it. If I had such physics in my childhood, I would not be working in e-commerce now. The next one will be on the first of March, and another one at the end of March.

I’m not sure whether this is more about Ringo Starr or Shina, but it’s insightful

Very sensible initiatives to improve the situation in Russian cosmonautics include building a new Roscosmos building in the shape of a rocket. Together with his proposal to rename “Federation” (since a female name for a future spaceship is not quite suitable), it underscores the prestige of Russian cosmonautics so much that one might even decide there is no need to build the ship at all. Gagarin’s name will surely be sufficient for another fifty years at least. Here’s a hint: raise the importance of April 12th to the level of May 9th (and altogether cancel December 12th – nobody knows it anyway) and make April 12th a parade of space forces and achievements every year.
