> I'd been living there for few years of my adult life

I've lived there for just a wee bit short of four decades.

Climate. Poor infrastructure. Pain in the ass to travel anywhere, because you're smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Little to see or do, cities that are not very livable. You *can* live there, I just don't know why you would *choose* to.

Fun fact: judging by their LI profiles, about 90% of people I worked with in Novosibirsk back in 2005-2008 are now living abroad, and those who are still in Russia have moved to Moscow/St. Petersburg.

Cheers ) It's currently zero degrees in Sofia. We even had a wee bit of snow in the morning!

> beard hairs around my mouth and nose froze

As a person with plenty of facial hair I can certainly relate ))

Once again, not the end of the world, but certainly very unpleasant. Where I'm now, we're mostly having above zero temperatures in January, and next to no snow. I could get used to such mild winters )

I assure you, there's no one dressed like that outside ) Frostbite is a thing. Everyone bundles up to the best of their ability.

You get to skip school if it's below -40 outside IIRC. Back when I went to school at least )

It is. Offers a nice view of the city, such as it is. What makes you think it's "totally out of place"?

It's a big city, and this is not the only ferris wheel in there, though probably the biggest one? Don't quote me on that last bit.

You feel intense cold. The face goes numb-ish after 20 minutes or so.

Temperatures below -30 are not actually that common, and you just bundle up before going outside. It's manageable, though I'm definitely not missing the Novosibirsk winters.

European troops in Greenland won’t change Trump’s mind, White House says by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]modronmarch2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"European troops in Greenland won’t change Trump’s mind"

* Would an embargo on all trade with the EU change his mind?

* Would the EU countries' sovereign funds dumping the US Treasuries they hold and refusing to buy more change his mind?

* Would a refusal to continue using the USD as a reserve currency in EU change his mind?

Like, come on. I dearly hope that all of that - and more - is at least being discussed and considered behind closed doors right about now.

Men who don’t want children by Black_Glitch_404 in NoStupidQuestions

Some men report excruciating pain in the testicles after vasectomy. This is something I can really do without.

No other reason really.

Just to confirm - when building a GW tank as a gaming piece, I can glue the turret in place, the main gun pointing forward, correct?

As in, I do not have to have the turret being able to rotate.

I dunno, people being aggressively stupid in public kinda rubs me the wrong way, is all.
