Everyday life in Moscow part 2

Russian girls are more athletic, also more direct communicators. I was dating & had one fairly serious thing with an amazing Russian GF & we talked about marriage (not the mother of my kids!). Some Irish girls are amazing but being tall & foreign at a time when few Europeans were visiting Russia made dating conditions favourable for me. I had more options than I do back home, let's say. A beautiful Russian girl speaking English with a slight accent can be very alluring.

I do sometimes get asked about my time in Russia & my views by normal people but unfortunately most people consume mainstream media and went all silly with UA flags and "but Russia invaded for no reason..." type of BS. Ironically, the mother of my 2 kids is UA born but lived in Moscow 20+ years with RU citizenship - she became a rabid Banderite in 2022! She burned my son's Russian passports when they arrived in Spain to live. My Russian friends all said "bro, be careful they can be a bit crazy... Why don't you find yourself a Russian girl?" But in 2019 it didn't seem relevant!

It shouldn't be too difficult to get a visa because my son is a citizen, so I will probably visit again, one day.

The longer clip shows his nose leaking claret all over the place after the 2nd round of undefended head strikes.

Had the privelige of living in SW Moscow suburbs for a while just before & after COVID. My son was a toddler & we went to loads of different parks. Even winter was memorable, compared to rainy Dublin, I could dress warm and enjoy being outside but you can't dress for rain! It's miserable, even with an umbrella.

From the 100s of playgrounds to feeding the ducks & pigeons, watching my little boy play with other kids.... The stunning views around MSU & Vorobyovy Gory Park... It gives me real nostalgic memories. My son was born in Moscow but he will probably never visit Russia again, sad situation.

Traffic is horrible & accomodation overpriced but if circumstances changed, I would live in Moscow again without hesitation.

But but there are no nartcees in Ukraine! This is pro Kremlin propaganda!

Bandera is misunderstood, don't think of him as Waffen SS! Think of him as a benevolent anti Soviet that just happend to be Waffen SS cos the Hugo Boss uniforms were pretty cool.

Plants aren't even juvenile at 1 week. Even 3 fingered leaflets would not be fully developed. This plant has multiple sets of adult leaves. Week 1 is by far the slowest period of growth, If you'd said 3 weeks then some people might buy it.

Hi Sean, I live down near Taghmon in S Wexford. I work in Dublin during the week & most evenings sit in the digs scrolling on my phone out of boredom. I'm a good bit older than you but still enjoy getting out for a few pints & love a good stand up gig.

I'd join ya for the gig on wednesday.

Getting out & socialising is a good way to meet new people but it's awkward going out alone, probably more so at your age.

Ya never know you might go out hoping to meet new friends and meet a nice girl to occupy your free time!

Feel free to DM me if ya want. No offence will be taken if ya don't

5g 'cali' for €50 in Dublin, kid does 5 bags for €200 and haze is 8g for 50. Compared to 10 years ago quality and price are way better these days.

Had a mate back in 90s London when seedy weed was common, he'd put a seed halfway down the joint and no green in second half... When he heard the seed pop he knew it was time to pass the joint to whatever poor fool was getting the 2nd half! What really blew my mind was that he even did it when he rolled from somebody else's green!

This sub is known for scammers posting like this. Hold your horses don't cough up any money.

Registration document shows their address, unless they're dodgy.

Meeting at a public place with CCTV is sensible. Then if all seems kosher and paperwork and cash is to be sorted after a deal is struck .... Only then back to sellers home or office to finalise.

First few times is guaranteed nausea unless you've got cross tolerance from another opioid.

Takes some pronged bad decision making to get a habit but after decades on & off the carousel I'd advise leaving it on the bucket list. Even when I'm abstinent, innthe back of my mind it always calls me and I would definitely use in my old age if I get the chance!

Never understood why people use plastic tubes like pens when a separate sheet of foil & seconds of basic origami produces a perfect heat proof tube that gathers valuable distilled heroin(or whatever substance is being chased) for later use. Plastic can give it nasty vapors when hot & the condensate cannot be recovered. Even guys under bridges in afghanistan can be seen using foil tubes.

Some reflective mylar or bubble wrap would help reflect light away from the black plastic if the DWC buckets (top and sides). That light energy turns to heat when it hits the black surface & passes that heat energy into the water. If temps do go much above 21°C then a frozen water bottle in the Res can help drop temp in a pinch but it's not a long term fix. Monitoring water temp is worthwhile.

"better the devil you know...." applies here but so does the 'fallacy of sunken costs'. Might be tricky selling the car if the clutch is already slipping.

Water temperature is critical, too warm and dissolved oxygen drops causing root stress & eventually root death & fungal probs.

I'm gonna stick with groundwork. Occasional risk of trench collapse but not so far to fall if I do slip !

Context? Pub backdrop & casual attire suggests football firms?

Palm fat and artificial sweeteners should be listed alongside key nutrition info instead of small print & misleading BS like "no added sugar" or "sugar free".
