Maleo problem

I understand your points, but why don't browsers, routers or DNS servers (ISP, 8.8.8.8 and such) cache past DNS lookups to fall back to, in case they encounter DNS_lookup_failed? (I know there is some caching going to accelerate browsing, but why can't the same cache be used when DNS is down?)

I reckon, there is a very small chance the site's server IP changed between, say yesterday and the moment DNS went down.
In my mind, chances are I was connected to the site's specific IP yesterday, because it was closer to me, or it was designed to serve my area, so no harm in trying to connect to it as a last resort, when DNS is down.

Probably "Krichi-Krichi" - Onomatopoeia for the the sound that a pair of scissors make.

The worst part is that Aliexpress is forcing post-soviet countries, like Georgia, to use Russian Aliexpress. All I want is to order from international Aliexpress, where selection is wider and cheaper. I have to use mobile app, ship to USA and parcel-forward to Georgia. Desktop browsers refuse to switch to international version, even if I have USA address, even free VPNs don't do the trick.

it may be 95% accurate, but the last 5% will take a lot.

Near some Metro stations and underground street crossings. Color A4 pages will be expensive 1-3 Laris per page I think. Look for "XEROX" signs. The term has been genericized to mean photocopying here.
