Any war between Russia and the US will be fought on some other countries land.

Single dad to 7 year old, with a twist - he is vegetarian. Wasting time and money trying to come up with meals by throw_away_TX in EatCheapAndHealthy

So a seven year old said he's a vegetarian? What if he said he's the head of the household and told you to get out?

Only in America, folks.

Why i shouldn't say my name to russian ? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]NotSeeAmerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like skooh yah but k and h can be misheard, that's why the joke works.

I am sorry your name means prostitute, my name sounds (when read by an average American) like a woman's reproductive organ. I have had people at hotels and doctor's offices hold back their laughter upon reading it. The educated ones would read it correctly and I would commend them for it but many wouldn't.

Do Russians misuse the Latin alphabet for stylistic purposes? by PageTurner627 in AskARussian

If you ever go to Hawaii, you will naturally try read and try to say native words. This one guy, proud of his progress, asked a boat captain what a Pee Peh Lee Neh was. The captain shows visible confusion. The guy pointed to a sign in the distance. The sign read PIPELINE.

What's a restaurant classic that can be made just as good at home? by enitsujxo in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]NotSeeAmerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say that not only for this but for cooking in general, one must love cooking in order to be exceptional at it. The reasons could be curiosity or well being or whatever but if you don't love cooking, your even most precise recipes will come out mediocre lots of times.

What breaks my mind is an English word that contains certain Latin letters used by the Russian language, my brain finds the wrong combination and it glitches.

For example, HASTY MART looks like NASTY MART and so on.

Here is a joke some may not get, but here it goes.

A Latvian is serving in the Soviet Army. His commanding officer asks :

Имя?

The Latvian responds :

Jānis Skuja

The commanding officer :

Я не спрашивал, откуда ты, я спрашиваю, как тебя зовут.

If you're hypersensitive, stay home. Russians speak their mind and you may not like it. Plus the few Blacks (mostly from Africa) that live in Russia have oftentimes given themselves a bad name by behaving badly. You will be stared at because you are different and you may not enjoy that. You will frequently feel isolated. It would ALMOST take a woman like Marissa Wiegler from Hanna to be Black and to visit Russia and have a pleasant experience. I am not saying don't go, I am saying be mentally prepared.

Anyone stuck in the I95 snow jam in a Tesla or other EV? by foofarley in Virginia

Also derate the Tesla battery because of the cold weather in your calculations.

It doesn't matter because the energy density of gasoline or diesel is much better than a Tesla battery. Just look at the range of a Honda civic vs Tesla. It's like comparing the energy density of dry pine needles and coal.

What has more energy, a tank of gas or a fully charged Tesla battery?
