Hi, I'm Rauf Aliev.

Headhunter is increasingly resembling a dating service.

Liza has a Russian exam tomorrow. Sharing knowledge.

It turns out, according to the rules of grammar, a dead man, a drowned man, a zombie, and a deceased are animate, but a corpse and a mummy are inanimate.

It is determined by the accusative case in the plural (see whom? what?), if it coincides with the genitive (no whom? what? dead men, deceased) – then it is animate. If it does not coincide with the genitive but does with the nominative plural (what? corpses, mummies) – then it is inanimate.

And the same goes for snowmen, dolls, matryoshkas, and marionettes. They are all animate (see whom? what? = no whom? what? dolls, matryoshkas, marionettes). Likewise, the king, the ace, the jack, and the trump are animate.

Live and learn.

Finally decided on a little rat. Ontario RAT-2.

Nine years after the movie’s release, I finally got around to watching it. Whew, the plot twists and dialogues!

“— My father used to say: ‘The first time you hear someone call you a ‘horse’, punch the offender in the nose. Hear it a second time — call the insolent one a freak. The third time you’re called a horse — go to the store and buy a saddle’.”

Watched the new masterpiece from the director, producer, and screenwriter of the films “Babe: Pig in the City,” “Babe: Pig in the City sequel,” and “Happy Feet.”

Must watch!

It seems I’ve found a way to get an interest-free loan in foreign currency

1. You open a debit card. In my case – at PSB.

2. You deposit 1 ruble (in my case, the balance turned out to be 1.85 rubles)

3. While traveling abroad, you withdraw money in euros from an ATM (in my case – paying for car rental 415 euros)

4. PSB just told me that for transactions in euros, the real-time check of the account is for sufficiency, not for positivity. Hence, my account went into the negative (overdraft) by 25,000 rubles.

5. As PSB just informed me, there are no interest rates on the overdraft, so the account was negative from May 5 to May 23. Technically, this is a loan.

Perhaps with an ATM, it wouldn’t have happened, but buying an iPhone on such credit would have been more profitable)

Hmm. I wish I hadn’t watched Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” video.

Today, a railway bridge has disappeared on Varshavka.

Sketched on the way from Yaroslavl

In the Yaroslavl Kremlin, I encountered the smallest zoo in the world. There, you can see a bear for 60 rubles. Truly, a cage with a bear, surrounded by a solid fence with an entrance where a price list hangs and a woman stands. And all this within the Kremlin, where entry is ticketed. No, it’s not styled for children, you cannot feed, pet, or take a photo with the bear. It just sleeps in the corner. The paid bear sleeps in the corner of the Yarosvlavl Kremlin.

Of course, I held back the 60 rubles. Nearby was a mound of construction sand covered with a soft material. By jumping onto it, the bear cage was visible. But that didn’t go well! The woman from the ticket booth sprinted a hundred meters in a second to reprimand me. Basically, the cash register’s over there, buy a ticket. Seeing the bear without paying is like stealing 60 rubles from the cash register!

The Yaroslavl express to Moscow is better than the “Sapsan.” The train has internet and power outlets, and the dining car offers reasonably priced food. It’s slightly surprising to see a canned Budweiser for 480 and tea for 500 rubles, but there’s always an alternative – Zatecky Gus for 170 and half a pot of tea for 250. Interestingly, the tea for 500 differs from the 250 only in the amount of boiling water.

Yaroslavl is beautiful. Visit if you haven’t been there yet. Along the Volga embankment, there is internet and singing fountains. I want to return here.
