неужели это единственное решение!

Lessons for shaving.

Поймал такого "зайца" на пути домой.

Some photo shots from Sunday.

Вчера выбрались в горы с коллегами. Понял, что получается или фотографировать только природу (но одному или в очень маленькой компании), или людей (но тогда особо без природы). В этот раз нащелкал много портретов.

Google doesn't show urls anymore in the search results. Compare this to duckduckgo, where the urls are shown.

I don't trust to whatever Google uses to identify a resource, I want to see the url to decide whether I want to visit that page.

Интересное отношение к Нобелевской премии. В одном случае ее получают конкретные учёные, в другом ее просто дают.

The end of summer in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland.

It has been a year since I've got my car. It had 135k miles when I got it. In a year I rode 13k without major issues. I had to fix quite a few things to pass the state inspection, change tires, so the service expense constitutes a half of my spending. A quarter is insurance and registration taxes. A fifth is gas. It looks that the case prices are going up, but that could be also a seasonal thing. What I didn't expect is such a big variance in price between different stations and states.

The example he provides also illustrates that not much progress has been made towards respectful communication.

I'm reading a paper by J. Paolillo titled "Conversational" Codeswitching on Usenet and Internet Relay Chat" His description of Usenet and IRC totally qualifies as a futuristic killer of Twitter. But then you see the years of references and remember that these system predicted social media long time ago.

A random building in New York.

I'm back from the East Coast trip. Here is a picture of the Niagara falls.

My kvas/souer beer pops like a real beer!

Spotify is not only slow but also limits the number if downloads! There is a reason I've paid for a phone with 128 gb of storage.

This gives an idea how it looked.
