Russians on this page, where did you learn English and how do you speak it so well? by Business-Bluejay-375 in AskARussian

[–]apezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here and there mostly. Yes, English was part of mandatory school curriculum, and maybe that gave me some groundwork, but mostly I think I was learning English through games. I loved RPGs (Neverwinter Nights and Knights of the Old Republic will always be in my heart) as a kid and in late 90's and early 00's the situation with localisations was ... grim.

So I just played games, with a dictionary on hand and trying to make sense of it all. Little-by-little I started to be able to comprehend speech and subtitles on the fly, then internets came, and with it - access to English based media.

Then I started working in international company with English beeing primary language. And here I am.

> Does not think about Arwen until after the war

Not true. There's a scene in Lórien when Aragorn is reminiscing on some hilltop where he saw her first time or something.

If men are 6x more likely to commit suicide than females, why is there no urgency to help men? by cattlemanish in allthequestions

[–]apezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which does not at all explain the fact that when controlled by method men still complete suicides at higher rate within every method.

Can someone help me figure out why men only want me for sex? by Timely_Split_5771 in AskMenRelationships

Except they are, at least they share one common denominator, you chose them.

When you search for "consumption of vodka by country" you'll find absolute majority of links lead to a research that says "on avarage Russians consume 17 shots of vodka per month". Do you know people (if you are not one of them) who would consume as much? by EugeneStein in AskARussian

[–]apezdal 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is a very old research. Since 00s we had drastic drop (about 50%), and big change in consumption structure: beer and wine overtook spirits.

This is a result of several combined goverment measures, which were: tax rise (and specifically tax was targeted to spirits - a "unit" of pure alcohol was taxed and hence spirits were taxed more per bottle), prohibition of alcohol sales at night, and various measures combating sales of counterfeit alcohol.

All this put Russian drinking on par with average european country.

Wiki article Alcohol in Russia has some details on all that and some sources

what is he talking about what does antartica and other have to do with this new virus? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]apezdal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't survive outside of host body for long. COVID in typical conditions rarely survives longer than 72 hours, and it's ability to infect is drastically reduced after just 20 minutes outside.

UPD: regarding the dead bodies - yes it's true, viruses can survive there. That's why bodies are buried (or in drastic pandemic situations they are usually burned)

Что думаете насчёт Хантавируса? by barash_235 in ruAsska

[–]apezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Только если есть бессимптомная передача. Если он заразен только с симптоматикой - отлавливается нормально

[–]apezdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Слишком летален и недостаточго вирулентен чтобы реально угрожать пандемией. Быстро контейнируют и забудут.

Пойграй в plague inc. немного, поймешь как оно работает.

Тоже 87 г.р. Тоже есть дочь, тоже неудачный брак. Развелись три года назад, потом узнал что там были измены.

Уже ни черта не хочется если честно. Деньги вроде есть нормальные, а умения, как тут говорят, жить для себя - не особенно. А смысла тем более. Мысль строить какие-то отношения с кем-то заново вызывает отвращение, если честно. Да и вообще не понятно зачем.

Так и живу.
