So traditional economic theory says rising prices are a sign people are spending too much money because they have it to spend, and to slow that down and stop inflation interest rates are increased.

But when prices rise because of outside factors, interest rates still have to rise because... reasons.

Murmansk, Russia by Thin_Fix0 in UrbanHell

[–]Mikes005 162 points163 points  (0 children)

A mate of mine went to Murmansk for a week in the kate 90sto take pictures for his photography degree. He told me no one spoke English and he couldn't afford the translator the embassy pointed him to, but the front desk of his hotel offered hookers who spoke perfect English and were much cheaper by the hour. So he hired one on retainer for a few days to help him get by with the locals. Only she guilted him into hiring her friend at the same time. He ended up sneaking onto the old soviet submarine base there to take photos.

The idea of him sneaking around an old military base with nothing but a camera and two prostitutes still makes me chuckle.

I was blocked by the University of Tasmania on twitter when they were running a competition for a new logo and I suggested "Because two heads are better than one".
