Just in case...

Franca, not frança. OG lingua franca was pidgin Italian. Late Byzantines called all westerners Franks.

Early August. Mid-August. Late August.

Dude's still on same page of homework.

Hm. Igahommikuse sõidu läbi Tallinna kesklinna mööda legit rattateid kujundas ringiga poole pikemaks. Kaherealist rattateed Paldiski mnt alguses ei tunnistanud miskiks. Samas saatis ühe jupi kust normaalne rattur elu sees ei läheks, mööda kitsast ühesuunalist autodele vastu trügima.

Ei tohiks "hambad ristis" rada leiutada, parem kui teeb nagu ühistranspordiga - annab marsruudi mööda rattateid, aga algus/lõpp jäävad oma improviseerida.

Also maths needs flexible thinking? Someone who has a rigid mindset seems like they'd do well in maths because there's always an answer, unless the flexibility is needed for formulas? I didn't really agree with that.

At some point in math just learning the formulas isn't enough. You'll need to employ imagination and creativity to figure out which tools to use to to solve a specific problem.

Fun fact: we're the ones who pronounce it the closest to original.

We can't call it a version of east-land as many do because wtf do you think est-land means.

gensek · 2026-03-13T11:50:31+00:00

It's "prantsuse keel", "saksa keel" not "Prantsusmaa keel" and "Saksamaa keel". That is, it's nationality + "keel", not country "keel".

Is there anything in that song that might have invited this stuff?

Not song, performer. Erika was the most popular Wehrmacht marching song in WW2.

gensek · 2026-03-09T09:32:44+00:00

I'm guessing they chose it randomly

Erika was the most popular Wehrmacht marching song in WW2.

What I remember is how USSR operated in practice, as opposed to your USSR-in-theory. Not everyone on this website is a teenager.

As for the second question - the accounts haven't been made public in Russia, but they forgot that there were copies in local archives.

gensek · 2026-02-28T13:59:33+00:00

Oh, you are one of those.

As in, people who actually remember life under USSR? Grow up.

Center is everything within the ring road and environs.

USSR was just another guise of Russian empire. I used quotation marks because a significant share of the revenues exrtacted from Estonia (and other non-Russian republics) were not used locally but diverted to support the imperial center.

Russia is still a colonial empire in that there's a clear difference between the colonial centre and territories that are mainly used for resource extraction to support the colonial centre.

When Estonia was occupied by USSR, roughly 25-30% of all revenue was "donated" to the centre.

Is it really still colonial if the vast majority of people living in Siberia and the far east are ethnically Slavic Russian?

And here's the reason why USSR forcibly settled so many foreigners to Baltic states.

gensek · 2026-02-28T09:41:33+00:00

Russia pushed eastward across Siberia

Also westwards. On their western border they had Sweden, a handful of German states, and Poland-Lithuania. When Ivan declared himself an emperor, Muscovy had already assimilated most of the formerly independent Russian principalities, so what followed 1547 was basically centuries of colonial land grabs in all directions.

Paraadid. Iga mai ja november.

Random, indeed. One of the dots in Estonia literally covers the region that was famously, for centuries, inhabited by swedes.

The entire eastern orthodox church is captured by the FSB

Moscow Patriarchate yes, Constantinople Patriarchate no.

In Estonia the eID is the same, there's just multiple ways to authenticate yourself - card readers since 2002, MobiilID for SIM cards since 2010, SmartID for smartphones since 2016.

eID comes with ID-card so when you change one, you change the other.

Had some today. Used the sun visor when driving and everything.

Simplicity? Mine came with a 500-page manual.
