I just can’t get used to calling cola “Coke”. If you ask for cola as Cola, they always double-check – Coke? And in California and the northeast of the country, you have to relearn it as Soda. For some reason, they don’t call it that around St. Louis and Milwaukee, which are quite far from the other two places. At the Canadian border and in the central states, you need to ask for pop for the same purposes.

At the Institute of Experimental Medicine, they decided to “thaw ancient viruses to make antibiotics.”
“We are interested in obtaining practical results as soon as possible,” explained the head of the laboratory
I don’t know anything about antibiotics from ancient viruses, but it sounds a bit scary
I have long noticed that many doors have a reinforced lower part so that they can be opened with feet without spoiling their appearance. However, this only works in a “push” mode. Today, I noticed that there is a special device to open doors “pull towards yourself” with your feet.
Discovered that vobla and taran are the same fish, the roach. “… Roach, which spawns in fresh waters and feeds in brackish waters, is called the semi-anadromous roach. Caught in the Caspian Sea basin, this little fish is called vobla. The fishing of semi-anadromous roach in the Black and Azov seas – that’s taran.”
By the way, note that no one bothers to sell fish here without specifying the producer at all — well, except that taran is Caspian, and it should supposedly be like vobla. At the same time, here the taran, as it should, has reddish fins, while vobla does not. And what do you prefer?
I don’t know how long it will last. I kind of like it, but… Bought it out of nostalgia, to make up for the eight packs of cottage cheese for my daughter 😉
If anyone could recommend a caregiver for Nadina’s mother, either through a company or directly, you would be of great help. Lobnya.
Ideally, of course, in Lobnya itself. Although I don’t know, maybe companies handle this somehow, transporting caregivers closer to their workplaces. The best option would be a caregiver from our own building, who suddenly disappeared a few days ago.
It’s unlikely, of course, that any of you have such contacts, especially in Lobnya, but not asking at all is definitely a worse option. Perhaps through the theory of six degrees of separation, we might find the right person. It has worked before, and right now we really need it.
I miss you!

In cold weather, it’s faster to ride at 32.3 km/h on a 20 km track
In every online store I’ve worked with, it takes some time for the management to understand that you can’t sort products by two criteria at the same time, no matter how much you’d like to. Simply put, you can’t make it so that the first page of search results simultaneously includes popular items and cheap ones. #screamofthesoul
I miss you!
