Gorbachyov's anti-booze campaign that included price raise on alcohol is sometimes considered one of the reasons for the dissolution of the Soviet Union 😂
Not because people were based… Well, they were in a way — some started home-brewing which made alcohol production black market economy and that was a serious blow on state budget.
Alcohol consumption in Russia was only prohibited on rare special occasions though — mostly encouraged as it always was an important source of state revenue🥴

…too paranoid for that and bringing icons to his generals tens of kilometers from where the battle is can't impress anybody.
And he's even run out of dummy opponents — no one cares about the usual old and tired faces, everyone who's been on the news in the recent months are related to the military — but he doesn't trust any of them 🤷
@chiamaluca @ChrisO_wiki
Even winning completely staged elections starts looking problematic. Usually the strategy was ignoring the debates with "opponents" who were supposed to look all talk and quitely doing something minor, but positive and always staying on the news. Nowadays there are no good news at all, economically it's very grim — news from the frontline don't look good either, just going there and doing what Zelensky does or what Prigozhin did might make him look good, but he got…

Damn, I always forget that your lower-value coins are pennies and that must be what "p" stands for here, pound has its own different symbol. Well, that makes it significantly cheaper 😂
@carolen
What kind of product is this originally supposed to be? I may be a little behind on what the exchange rates are these days, especially when it comes to GBP, and I'm saving a lot on food and supplies myself so I usually go for cheaper brands, but 49 pounds still sounds like a lot 🤔

Ну это как с мощами святых — для хорошего дела не жалко и целый полк найти. И даже то, что это уже пятый мизинец или третий череп, смущать не должно 😂

I've always considered Axe something really awful, until I tried this one — I got it for free so why not? Surprisingly, it doesn't smell cheap or too strong — that is what I have expected from it, on the contrary, it's subtle — given its weird dark chocolate name 😅
Maybe their more recent fragrances just aren't that bad 🤷

As for this map — at least they didn't mark Belarus as a member on it. They are now trying really hard to convince everyone that they are getting admitted soon — but nothing like that has been announced at the summit: https://www.vedomosti.ru/politics/news/2023/08/27/992132-belorussiya-rasschitivaet-na-skoroe
Vedomosti used to be a great bussiness media, but now they are full of misleading headlines too. Sometimes the article itself clears it up — like in this case, sometimes not 😩
@kravietz
Sometimes US soldiers too! 😂
This photo in particular is really popular — the flag usually gets replaced of course.
Not as bad as using Nazis holding obviously German-made guns, but still has nothing to do with USSR or victory on the Eastern front.
There are so many Soviet WW2-era photos that are just as iconic — why they don't use those is beyond me 🤪

А, ну раз на таможне задержали 440 процессоров — значит можно спать спокойно!
> свеже произведенные
«CPU был разработан в конце 2014 г. и отправлен на конвейер в 2015 г» — это из статьи цитата.
> на не отсутствующих процессорах
«На вопрос о возможном дефиците CPU и количестве закупленных BE-T1000 представители «Ростеха» и «Байкал-электроникс» к моменту выхода материала ответить не смогли» — тоже из статьи

Надо просто немного подождать?😏
@hardworm Это всё не отменяет того, что журналистам следовало бы аккуратнее работать с информацией.
> задушенные санкциями с 2013 года
Не думаю, что и у Байкал Электроникс дела сильно лучше, всё же, разрыв с TSMC для fabless-компании — это катастрофа. Да и до этого, судя по СБИС, прибыль у компании была отрицательной многие годы. Может государственные контракты на поддержание штанов и будут, но перспективы не выглядят радужными.
@hardworm
Информация в СБИС настолько актуальная, что у Байкал Электроникс аж ссылка на сайт Т-Платформы ведёт 😄
И уж не знаю что у остальных, но у C-News, если прочитать дальше заголовка, так и написано, что речь идёт о ранней интеллектуальной собственности, связанной с Байкалами, а не о самой Байкал Электроникс.
Ну и банкротство — это не обязательно когда по офису уже ветер гуляет, наличие вакансий ему никак не противоречит — компания перейдёт к другому владельцу и люди продолжат работать 🤷
