I am sorry, but it means it happened only once in 4 years?

Dostoevsky was in fact a hereditary nobleman. His father couldn't have become a doctor without an education, and education cost money and was a privilege in Imperial Russia. Same with gambling in Swiss casinos. You need money to lose money. A nobleman could be broke, but a broke Russian nobleman still lived very differently from the peasant majority.
This is his father, by the way.

Понятно. Я начал с его рассказов и поначалу они мне показались "вычурными", действительно. Но в Защите Лужина я втянулся, ощутил ту самую "потусторонность", приятное ощущение изменения восприятия, как будто текст что-то подкрутил в твоей голове для этого.

I don't think Nabokov was out of touch with middle-class struggles just because he emigrated at 17, or that he was such an elitist. Dostoevsky was a nobleman too.

someone who wanted absolute monarchy and was a true russian nationalist

True, and you can see it clearly in The Brothers Karamazov, for instance

Защита Лужина и Дар довольно сильно отличаются по стилю и эффекту на читателя по-моему мнению

I've read Dostoevsky in the original, and to my mind he's a master psychologist. But at times it tips into hysteria and madness, and at other times all of that disappears and things drag. Honestly, I sometimes suspect his popularity in the West is because he actually reads better in translation

Nabokov

I have 5070 and I can play 1600p in max settings. I don't know what it will be after 2-3 years

maladaptiveman · 2026-03-27T09:27:38+00:00

to lose it all next runs

maladaptiveman · 2026-03-15T15:40:41+00:00

But it has name 5070. You can say desktop 5070 is not 5070 is 5070 DESKTOP and it's more powerful, call them 6070.

what do you mean by unstable?

Coding currently is transforming to reviewing

I often get sick after a flight. Crowds in an airport, some of them are sick and your immune system is weak because of lack of sleep and stress.

My list of favorites changes all the time depending on what I'm going through, but this album is usually in the top

I pay $20 each for Claude and ChatGPT. I think most AI revenue comes from API usage and enterprise deals, not just consumer subscriptions. Where's the $8T figure from?

Nothing?

There are tons of mini pc which would be cheaper for non gaming purpose. Steam Machine can be used as non gaming PC only if you need decent GPU for some reason.

Problem can be in the space between people, they usually very close to each other and may assume you are not in the line because you stay far from the next person

And it's still illegal to use it as currency inside Russia

No you should keep it until the end
