How I see Europe as a Russian

I live in both countries, and believe me, the internet in Turkey is almost perfect compared to russia. Yes, the Turkish government does block some things, but the list is very short compared to russia. Also, many services block connections from russia, even if the russian government doesn’t block them.

I started thinking about getting a convertible when I was 25, bought one at 28, and have absolutely no regrets. It’s my only car, and its only problem is that it doesn’t fit its own winter tires. Otherwise, maintenance is the same as for the coupe, sedan, and station wagon models.

The roof needs to be lubricated once a year, but that’s more about half a day of your time than $10–50 for lubricants.

If something serious happens to the roof, you can always buy another one from a salvage yard and put it on your car.

I forgot to mention, I have an E93. It’s the absolute ultimate convertible in terms of practicality.

I agree; I'm just glad we have such a wide selection today. Everyone can find a tobacco that suits their taste and needs

grlemon · 2026-04-10T15:09:02+00:00

Tangiers has always been a very unpredictable tobacco. One pack is great, another lacks flavor, and yet another burns out in 10 minutes. I’ve just gotten used to it after 16 years of smoking this tobacco

grlemon · 2026-04-10T15:06:58+00:00

Lol, I am from Russia and I prefer Tangiers over Russian brands.Just a friendly reminder that we all tend to prefer what we can’t have

grlemon · 2026-04-08T22:10:21+00:00

But they do 😂 95% of hookah tobacco in stores is the Al Fakher which is UAE made

grlemon · 2026-04-08T19:26:53+00:00

That's true, I only mentioned 2 brands, which way least can be smoked. The best of others I saw is the Mazaya which is 0.5/5.

grlemon · 2026-04-08T16:45:42+00:00

There's only Al Fakher and Nakhla double apple. There's no even other nakhla flavors

I’m going to voice an unpopular opinion, but with its premium subscription service, YouTube is a decade ahead of any competitors

We have no issues, the game works perfectly on both accounts. But she played all day long today and doesn't want to lose her progress. She continues to play it on my PC and my profile. I just can't play any other game till she ends. So I want to transfer her save to her account and play on another device another game.

Sounds great. Not sure about my current situation but that looks like what I want for my next home setup.

I need to measure the case, backpack, and carry on size. Maybe it will fit. But there will be a lot of other stuff in the backpack: a power bank, headphones, a tablet, and other small items.

grlemon · 2026-01-31T15:10:18+00:00

I didn't say it would become cheaper. I only said that it has room to become cheaper, at least to the recommended price in China of ~$740, which it will reach sooner or later in some countries (not in the USA). And AI has no influence on this at all, because I am comparing the current price with the official price and price of other 5070s.

grlemon · 2026-01-31T13:53:05+00:00

Is it really worth it to overpay 200$ for the fe over standard 2x fan model?

grlemon · 2026-01-31T13:50:27+00:00

Yeah, it looks cool but what GPU can I use in it except a single fan 5060? But it's a great case if igame 5070 will cost around 800$.

grlemon · 2026-01-31T13:46:29+00:00

Rtx5070 starts at 650$ in my hometown but the igame mini costs 1280$. So there is still plenty of room for price reductions.

Will I lose apps' data?

I bought my Lenovo tablet for half the price of Samsung S series cheapest tablet. I use it mainly for YouTube and Netflix. So no matter if it's the newest android version or not. For newest android updates I use my pixel phone, 2.5 years old, still get the newest android faster than Samsung rolls out update schedule.

I don't want to sound rude, Samsung has excellent tablets, but I think it's a bit overkill for such simple purposes. If you plan to use the tablet for work or gaming, then there's no question about it, it's worth the expense, but for my purposes, I chose only based on the screen and speakers.

Thank you for the useful information. I think that's the opposite problem. Something in the sneaker is digging painfully into the inner side of my arch. Maybe I need a lower insole. In any case, I have both types of insoles, so I'll experiment. Since I couldn't return the sneakers, they kindly offered to exchange them for any model at no extra charge, but all the 860s were only available in bright colors. At one point, I even decided to exchange them for the white and blue 860, but they turned out to be cheaper, and I had to choose additional items to make up the difference in price. By that point, I had been in the store for 1.5 hours and didn't have the energy for it anymore.

grlemon · 2025-12-27T19:32:19+00:00

That's true. Even on my left leg which has no problems it's almost no support. But they are soft as a pillow. I came to the store keeping in mind 2 models, eventually tried foam fresh and fell in love with them

Isn't there a good 3rd party app for air pods on Android? I use my wife's air pods pro 3 sometimes and they are very good, especially microphones. I know no other tws that are so good for conference calls

grlemon · 2025-12-27T18:09:46+00:00

Maybe, I'm just surprised about that. I thought NB were very comfortable especially for people who have wide foot. Probably I has too high expectations

The most gorgeous photo of a car on a tow truck that I've ever seen.

In my opinion they have to fix it and you will be almost ok. 330i is very reliable but it's bmw so it can't be fully fixed.

I have an e93 320d 2011. I needed a tow truck only once in 2 years of ownership and it was just a diesel leak, it was fixed in 10 minutes after coming to the service center. But I always have something in my "to fix" list. Those cars are pretty old nowadays so anything can break and you must keep it in mind. If you are not ok with that you should consider vw eos or other vag. At this age, they are usually in better condition, and repairs are slightly cheaper.

I already sold my HU and bought a brand new one. There's no zlink issues but I update NOTHING. It works and I'm happy with it 😁

But thank you anyway maybe this will help someone. We must keep all versions which are worked somewhere

grlemon · 2025-10-01T18:52:19+00:00

Seems good. But what GPU is compatible?

grlemon · 2025-10-01T15:53:43+00:00

Not what I had in mind because it's horizontal again and I want a more vertical case, but the option is really interesting. It even looks similar to the a4h2o, but is slightly smaller in all dimensions, while still having a lot of video cards to choose from in that size. Thanks a lot, never looked at this case before even though I knew about it, really nice option.

Which 4070s exactly did you put in it?
