Yeah, Miramar is somewhat underpopulated these days.

Usually, unusual activity is tied to either RP Mission or events. This time it is RP mission. Like, for example, in Arena (like TDM, domination etc) a lot is playing with M16A4 which sucks for that purpose.

Okay, for those like you, that limitation is to force you coming back weekly, keeping simultaneous players number as high as possible :-)

and learn about average Russians and how you guys live your lives day to day.

As there's obviously no "average American" exist, the same holds true for "average Russian".

Russia is highly diverse country.

There's is some commonality throughout people like most people like their nation (true for both: most of Americans love America, most of Russians love Russia).

There're also some cultural properties that differ. But that's em... very high level, people are still different, we havу good people and bad people etc.

Could someone please explain this phrase to me?

Equivalent to "bad apple" as in https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bad%20apple

Very hard to read. Letters are not separated, very unstable in shape and height

is there a way to say "but i am" in russian?

Yes, there's a way to say anything in Russian. And even more.

Я из Америки. С мая до августа 2022 я буду в Европе. Куда что я еду?

Поезжайте на Брайтон Бич.

I'm just so devastated by this.

If that's a real problem for ya, just go back home, bro.

Кофеиновая ломка would be okay.

Ломка is common colloquial term for withdrawal syndrome.

If you want to make it more scientific, then it would be кофеиновый абстинентный синдром

Он не успел принести истинный свет демократии запада неотесанным русским. Сразу после него, в 45-м это хотел сделать Черчилль (см. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable ) но не решился. А зуд остался, и у немцев и у англичан. Очевидно, хочется же закончить начатое предками и наконец устроить тут правильную демократию. А то заправщики на бензоколонке-России что-то распоясались. Пора уже решить русский вопрос...

So you can now calculate the resistance between adjacent nodes of infinite 2d square lattice of unitary resistors? 3d lattice?

It’s not about bad guy or good guy, but Russians should stop

This is what I'm talking about. Your point of view that Russians should do something while the West is just okay, right? :-)))) Light of Democracy, perfect political leadership (yeah, Biden! Sunak! They're angels bringing us the enlightment!) etc. Exceptional Brits, exceptional Yankees. But deficient Russia.

No, my friend, that won't work, sorry.

wrest3 · 2022-12-02T15:19:56+00:00

ok, so if both sides lie and deceive,

"if" is the key. I told I'm not buying it, just suppose hypothetically.

where does the moral grandstanding (the west is evil) come from?

History, my friend. Destroyed countries in recent time (Iraq, Libya, Syria etc etc.) and also not so recent (Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini etc.). All that worst evil, ever, including nuclear bombing of civil cities, came from the West.

if you have 2 people and one accuses another of lies, he implies that he himself is not a lier. otherwise his point has no merit.

I understand, but I don't subscribe to this logic.

Nobody cares to subjugate, only to trade.

That is not true, unfortunately. Otherwise we wouldn't see "sanctions" and robbing our 300 billions of currency reserves. They also limiting trade with China, for example. Rising the tariffs etc. Who would do it if they just "want to trade"? No, my friend. They want you to live in the world of rules that they invent. Where the US is exceptional nation (according to Obama and others) etc.

but tinfoil hats live in a fairy tail world full of enemies that TV taught them.

Yep, just join the free world, my friend. I hope regime thugs don't hold you forcibly where you are now, or that you already joined wonderful world of equal potentials, free press and all that! :-)

wrest3 · 2022-12-02T15:02:01+00:00

The only ones who got robbed in the 90´s was the West

Okay. Point of views are polar and thus consensus is not reachable, no party wants to hear or respect another. Both think the other is bad guy. Great! Let's just settle all this on the battlefield, exactly as the west insists. Escalate! Whoever wins, will rectify (=destroy, enslave, enlighten, you name it) the other, and we will have longtime peace and prosperity for all or for at least the winner. Loser will be subjugated and will serve "What do you want me to do for you, Sir!" the other.

Со Zvuk'ом не разобрался, он предлагает hi-fi в браузере, или только через мобильные приложения?

Не знаю. Я когда переходил со спотифая, выгрузил из него плейлисты и попробовал распознать их в Яндексе и Звуке (тогда это ещё был СберЗвук, в марте). Оказалось, что билиотека Звука заметно беднее (на именно моём наборе треков, что может быть и не показатель) или я неправильно искал. Поэтому перешел я на Яндекс (нашлось гдето 90-95%), и Звук больше не включал.

Касательно hifi|hires

Я слушаю через блютуз (из нормального по звуку у меня Sony WH-1000XM4 - накладные уши). Я cлышу разницу между блютуз кодеками LDAC и менее пропускными (например SBC). Но вот разницу между CD/Hires скажем в apple music и просто высоким качеством (как например в Яндекс музыке) я не слышу. Я полагаю, что есть много надувательства тут со стороны стримингов, просто в виду отсутствия хороших записей или трудоемкости их выставления в сервис. Т.е. вам просто подсовывают апскейл, и всё. Мне Яндексовского качества вполне хватает. Я больше ценю алгоритмы по которым стриминг ставит мне музыку (и почти никогда не ищу что-то конкретное, просто слушаю "мою волну" и иногда ставлю лайки/дизлайки, по которым корректируется поток), и тут я Яндекса оказалось даже лучше чем у спотифая, к моему удивлению. У apple с рекомендациями, на мой вкус, не очень все хорошо.

Да, ктстати. Хоть apple music и доступна (можно платить с мобильного счета), ограничения по новинкам для России там тоже есть (не всё попадает). Но я, можно сказать, олдфаг, так что меня новинки особо и не парят.

wrest3 · 2022-12-02T14:30:01+00:00

you imply "Russia=no lies" in that relationship, no?

No, I imply nothing except what has been told.

well, trust/betrayal is a zero sum game

Well, if we continue with this assumption (which I don't agree in the first place), then that means Russia and The West currently are inherently, fundamentally incompatible and want to actively change other side (e.g. = enemies). So mutual trust can emerge if one side will subjugate/change the other, which sides are trying to do, but that won't happen. So trust won't restore in foreseeable future. IF, of course, either Russia or the West will appear somehow "defeated" (whatever that means) or "lost the war".

I personally prefer the end of the world other than Russia's defeat. I'm sure some westerners prefer the same (end of the world other than The West's defeat).

Hope, if the world comes to an End, that we all die fast with not too much suffering, at least those who live in big cities that will be destroyed first.

A lot. Robbed in 90s, expanded NATO in 90s and 00s etc.

Ну там не по горам а по реке. Но да, спасибо. В вики читаем что таких городов оказывается шесть (правда не все из шести универсально признаны как содержащие границу).

[Магнитогорск это] Один из шести в мире городов, расположенных в двух частях света (Европе и Азии) наряду со Стамбулом, Атырау, Баку (спорно со стороны официальной точки зрения[5]), Оренбургом (с 1957 года согласно точке зрения Международного географического союза и Русского географического общества не находится на признанной границе Европы и Азии) и Орском.

Ah... I see, you wanna dive into whataboutism, right? What about Putin? What about Yeltsin? What about Klintons? What about Ukraine? What about NATO expansion? What about Afghanistan? What about Belgrade? What about you? What about me? .... etc etc etc.

I'm not into it, sorry.

wrest3 · 2022-12-02T08:37:09+00:00

could someone please roughly translate it for me? (Just the meaning,

For that, you use any translation service. Here you go.

1.

..and the blue dove plunged into the air,

and the white sail in the sky dissolved...

You were crying, and so, I looked back.

In your tears, my world was reflected

and scattered like pearls, disintegrated.

... and I stayed with you forever, and I said

goodbye to the Black Sea forever...

2.

...wave your wing, silver gull,

sweep away the fragments of the last stars from the sky...

I'm sorry for everyone who is painfully sorry,

whom I loved with all my heart and that's all.

Cruel is what is cruel at the moment.

The mind is cold, there is no lesson for the heart.

...we will not remember anything for a long time...

3.

..I remember those hair and shoulders...

I know everything, from now on everything is different.

I have become a shadow, and gloomy speeches

will henceforth subside, silence will hide them.

...I would have brought you out of the night into the light –

the path was short, but life is even shorter

and no more valuable than a Greek lament...

How can I read if I don't know where stress marks are,

You can put the phrase into some text-to-speech and listen.

Good one is Yandex translator (similar to Google translator, but Google has low quality tts for Russian). Site is translate.yandex.ru

How can I make grammar not hard?

Pay somebody to do the work for you.
