An intriguing test of consciousness and business responsibility.

Your business involves selling building materials. Taking a gamble, you took out a large loan, sold your apartment, and used all your savings to buy building materials at a great price from some shady source. You’ve already made the purchase. You are certain that it will sell retail within a week through your partners’ outlets, and the proceeds will enable you to buy a medium-sized castle. There seem to be no risks; these aren’t perishables or electronics.

Unexpectedly, you discover that the material emits radiation; it’s unhealthy but not deadly unless one lives in a house built with it for decades. It’s unlikely anyone will notice, and if the mortality statistics shift, it would only be evident after thirty years when the data are reviewed. The only risk is if, out of the blue, someone decides to use a dosimeter while traces can still be linked to you. In that case, you’ll have to feign ignorance, claiming you bought it as is, etc.

What should you do?

* If you go public – kiss your money goodbye; you’ll need to destroy everything, but at least people will remain safe and healthy.

* If you quietly sell it all wholesale to others at zero profit – then it becomes the other wholesalers’ problem, but you’ll feel guilty in the future knowing that you decided to move the product further.

* From the exotic options, you could build a hotel, and then likely only the permanent staff would be affected, as guests wouldn’t be exposed to a significant dose. However, if someone brings a dosimeter – the hotel would be demolished. Moreover, you’ve never built hotels before, and for your building materials, there’s a very limited budget in the hotel’s construction plan. Remember, you’ve spent your last dime.

Your decision? Be honest, please?

Went to a concert today https://www.michelleviolin.com/

Rock classics on a little violin.

The inventors are terrible—you can imagine what happens if, instead of hands, you put a cup or, as Lisa just did, a thermos with leftover tea under such a faucet with an integrated jet dryer.

And you’re talking about a comic based on Anna Karenina. How do you like The Phantom of the Opera in emojis?)

Walking through Washington with Liza

It seems that it’s already time to start selling Telegram fan club merchandise online with delivery. Two days left, and yet no one is itching to do it) It would be a legitimate and not too difficult activity.

Something is not right here

As long as Google is working, here’s some evening entertainment for you: enter the query ” site:rkn.gov.ru” in Google.

Or on Yandex, if Google isn’t working.

And another thing… You might not know, but if a regulator’s website publicly displays personal data (full name + passport number) and it’s indexed on Google, is that funny or sad?

Discovered yet another cool composer to play and listen to while I work. Michele McLaughlin. Such very pleasant and thoughtful minimalism. Almost everything is beautiful, but you can start listening with Irish Rain, Celtic Dream, Alone.

And here is a nice “home” concert of hers with David Nevue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTXlmmiCk7o&list=PL0cI0LsaV7p792AytBC5Mb8XkV6x4tL-H

P.S. By the way, Yann Tiersen is coming to us in a couple of months, really looking forward to that

We rent a floor in an office center. A few days ago, at the exit, they treated all tenants to delicacies and handed out branded flash drives. Once or twice in the summer, they distribute ice cream. And now they’ve partnered with a service which seemed quite intriguing, so I decided to talk about it on Facebook.

They deliver from nearby restaurants for $1.99. Normally in a restaurant in the USA, you need to leave 15-20 percent of the bill as a tip, and that’s always more than the two bucks they ask for delivery here. Plus, once at P.F. Chungs, we waited more than an hour for our turn to be served by a waiter (though, that was just one time). The only inevitable downside I see is the need to heat the food up to the very hot temperature I love, and there’s nothing you can do about it. If there’s a mix of cold salad with hot meat, that’s normal and you can’t reheat it.

But the idea is very sound. They make contracts not with EPAM, but with the office center. And automatically get all its tenants + optimize delivery.
