Any half-decent GUI should cover everything shown in this cheatsheet. You'd have to do quite some voodoo witchcraft to need CLI these days. It's actually the reverse sometimes, when my terminal bretheren complain that I do too much witchcraft when I'm just tidying stuff up with a GUI.

It's all worhless bullshit used exclusively for money laundering and feeding lies to aspiring artists. Burn the entire place down for all I care.

I really don’t understand people that prefer Google over Mozilla. Firefox works like a charm and Google already knows enough about us IMHO.

Firefox objectively has poor responsiveness in some apps, hence why some "works only in chrome" banners are justified. Can't quite put my finger of it, but it got a lot worse somewhere between quantum and heartbleed(but not because of it, I checked), and it never recovered. In my own projects that were time-sensitive, like 3d games and music apps, I couldn't find the source of it, but found that while some approaches led to major performance hit on firefox, others majorly hit chromium, and vice versa, and it was all about juggling to finding an approach that doesn't hit either as hard. But in some cases there were none and so I had to choose. Obviously the browser engine with a higher market share wins. And because of that, to be on par with Chrome, Firefox not only has to be better, it has to be not worse in all cases, which is a rather tough challenge.

All my appliances are rated 120/240v. Does that mean I'm bi?

If you think 26% is bad, in Russia it's going to be priced at around ₽80-100k(~$883, VAT included), but the median monthly salary is ₽43.500 - $480... That's well over 100% median household income given that over 38% families only have a single parent. And I'm pretty sure that's not even the worst out there, think like Argentina has an extortionate import tax or something?

Here ya go.

Before you go on to tell anything,

A military parade is a formation of soldiers whose movement is restricted by close-order manoeuvering known as drilling or marching [...] parades may also hold a role for propaganda purposes, being used to exhibit the apparent military strength of a country.

The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon is a 24-man rifle platoon led by a Captain and Platoon Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Often referred to as The Marching Twenty-Four, the unit performs a unique silent precision exhibition drill. The purpose of the platoon is to exemplify the discipline and professionalism of the Marine Corps

This is definitely a parade. Don't think I need to argue that synchronously throwing rifles at each other counts as pass juggling.

It’s called tradition, you silly bitch, and you are correct to laugh at it because it indeed looks stupid as fuck

I think this applies to all ceremonial military stuff: The queen's guard, the India-Pakistani border guards (at least they own it), the french foreign legionnaires who go out with a fucking axe and an apron, the US also has a tendency to flash ancient rifles on parades and then... juggle them? And so does Russia, aside from whatever that shit in the OP-post is, always brings out an old WW2-era tank on parades, alongside with the only available prototype sample of a new one, which then proceeds to stall in the middle of it and has to be towed out with said WW2-era tank.

hammer time!

On gigabyte boards, red ports were/are signifying their "ON/OFF charge" and "3x power" gimmicks. Basically means that it's a usb 2.0, with 1.5A limit over normal 500mA, and remains powered when the PC is turned off.

That queen's hanging, tho. He can just beat her himself.

He did use the get out of jail card, though, so it's all good. But I would advise to not try use it more than once.

Funny how I could probably understand what you mean if you said it without translation. Sounds very simillar to срать тесьма, which is also shit tape, though it's not a correct grammatically in Russian. To my knowledge, we don't have a specific name for it, but if there were I'd say it'd either be студенческая/солдатсткая (student/soldier) paper because they're so poor, or жоподёрка (the assripper)

what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia

What for? Russia is already drifting into becoming a China's satellite state. Besides, there's another resource-rich, sparsely populated, 99.9% Asian country right by their border, with barely any security and which would've been part of China already if not for some weeb. If they are going for conquest, Mongolia would be the second target right after Taiwan, but attacking it would tip off Russia to go all in on defense.

Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.

The problem here is the amount of them and population density. Just one bomb dropped randomly somewhere in China would probably cause more casualties than the entire Chinese nuclear arsenal targeting the most populous Russian cities. And Russia has an order of magnitude more...

Well, it that case you're referring to, the guy was actually snooping around which would fall into doing stupid things. But, just in case, just this once, here's a free get out of jail free card: If you ever got caught just say that you're an orthodox christian who came to Russia to enjoy based traditional culture in this bastion of anti-woke-ism and family values, and complain about some dumb shit like how western liberal agenda prevents you from hitting your wife or something. They can't put you on TV while you are in prison, so they'll have to let you go.

The one that's just like a concrete block with few holes in the floor? God that shit's terrifying. Grew up in Russia and luckily never had to use one of those as they were never the only option. But if I had to, I'd rather shit my pants instead. Had to use shoddy garden toilets, squat toilets and toilets with no stalls before a few times each, all were awful experiences, but this thing, it combines all three for the ultimate discomfort.

Well, I wouldn't worry about 2 and 3 that much. It's just that as a foreigner, especially if you are from the US, you will most definitely fall under the surveillance of FSB and the cops will look at you twice, but they're not paid half-decent enough to actually give a shit and do their job properly. They might harass you here and there but if you don't do anything stupid like protesting in red square or doing selfies in front of military bases, then they'll have nothing against you. I imagine that's not that much worse than living in the US under CIA's umbrella and trigger happy cops. Other than that, it's not nearly an extreme hellhole like NK, Afghanistan or Syria that people make it sound like. In fact, you can get by in Moscow or St. Petersburg without a guide or translator just fine. I'd rather advise to watch out for the tourist traps(the usual), and to avoid getting out of the city limits and into the suburbs because of the much increased crime levels.

Ah, and put the fact that for every dollar you spend there, you put 20 cents straight into Putin's pocket into that list...

And also that you'd probably need a visa and it's a hassle...

And that you'd probably need a Russian friend to get you hooked up with the basics and avoid going through the bureaucracy - like with currency exchange, credit card, carrier plan, etc...

Also that weather is rather harsh there...

And also that it's probably the dirtiest country on earth because city planners didn't zone out lawns and parks properly therefore the mud gets spread absolutely everywhere...

And that internet is half-broken, with half sites censored while the others block everyone from Russian IP's because sanctions...

And that Ukraine might not let you in afterwards...

And that you'd for sure be questioned by your homecountry's intelligence services...

And that's about all that I can think of.

Very close to it, yeah, like a very thin and shitty one. Doesn't stretch as much nor is as sturdy, but the texture is spot on.

Don't go to Russia. Every once in a while you can encounter this atrocity. Yes, it has holes right out of the roll, no perforation whatsoever and not even a hole that you could hang it on and therefore outer layers are always dirty. And, of course, feels like a sandpaper, tears when wiping, but stretches when you actually try to get a piece. Please don't tell me that this exists outside of Russia, that'd be way to much assrash for this world.

The only person I know working in finance couldn't even afford their own ThinkPad. In fact, they are a bit malnourished as they can't even afford food some of the time. But they do live in this big, mostly empty house, which I could never afford in my entire lifetime, and towards mortgage for which most of their money goes. Something-something appreciating assets yada-yada
