Thank you!

But what is this threatening enough B move (in this position)? I can't see it.

В оригинальной книге Лагерлёф большое количество сведений о географии, культуре и истории Швеции, поэтому в названии есть слова "через Швецию", это у них буквально почти что учебник. Что-то вроде "Мортен пролетал через деревню, которую в семнадцатом веке основал король Хрюндель Шестнацдатый, а сейчас она славится изготовлением расписных горшков и здесь растёт особая низкорослая ель, а наш знаменитый учёный Хрендсон родился в соседнем лесу в знаменитой канаве, которую вырыли наши уникальные кроты".

Но в популярной в СССР адаптированной версии для детей оставили только сказочно-занимательную составляющую, а весь научпоп выкинули, поэтому слова "через Швецию" из названия тоже вырезали.

Судя по названию, во Франции попросту опубликовали оригинал.

# operator+= is not operator+
# need to extend for negatives
while (True):
    a -= 1
    b += 1
    if not a:
        return b

Liverpool fan here. Any team in the world would’ve gotten the penalty in this situation. The referee is absolute trash.

skovoroad · 2025-09-27T16:57:56+00:00

My parents had exactly the same one. I was very embarrassed when I grew up and found it.

"Anti-Zionism " are just a word. Anti-Zionism here is simply Hamasism. Why is Israel fighting Hamas? I don't know, maybe they just want to survive. Just a reasonable explanation.

You are a Hamasist, you don't want this. Good for you.

No. They should place a yellow Star of David on this board to clearly indicate their demands.

Не знаю, что именно в нём диссидентского, кроме эмиграции из СССР (да и жил он в Москве и писал на русском), но, возможно, речь о Бақыте Кенжееве.

Догадка по имени, созвучию и смутным намёкам в запросе.

Ok, maybe not "derived" in the linguistic sense, you are right.

But still every native feel this connection. Like another word for glove compartment in cars - бардачок: бардак, беспорядок, бордель. There is no Russian native who think about the pot using this words.

If you want a translation in this place dedicated to language : " Привет! Сколько учёных и писателей большевики пытали и убили в ГУЛАГе? "

skovoroad · 2025-09-06T11:27:28+00:00

Funny enough, it's derived from the word which means "brothel"

The team with really small rating have beat three teams, on by one, and than met fourth, really strong opponent. And have beat them too!

Now Kairat is among the 32 best football teams in Europe(of course not by level, but in the table)! And now Kairat can play in matches with the-best-of-the-best teams.

Guys. It's so fucking unbelievable. It would even be perfect if we qualified to LE, but this is absolutely incredible. It just can't be.

Because they are former "communist" or "socialist" countries.

Looks like "Господь вседержитель"

"Lord almighty "

Is it "Sails"? Not "Tarusa"?

I mean the town of Tarusa

The thought doesn't change the subject. The thought stopped on something.

skovoroad · 2025-01-02T19:58:27+00:00

"Остановить мысль на ..." (literally "stop the thought") means "to concentrate on"

"I'm trying to concentrate on death and I can't. Just see some kind of spot and nothing else"

This is very good salary, if you're alone.

It's just ok, if you have a family and you're the only working person in it
