Windows to Russia

Many and Most Adults in other lands around the world have been busy doing adult stuff. There is the occasional Banana Republic whom “craps” in their own sandbox daily, yet for the most part, the world is moving forward…

Tidbit: We no longer should insult Banana Republics. With comparison: We need a new term for what the USA has become…

Now as you watch the Americans fighting in their sandbox (A sandbox that has become very very lonely as of late!). Throwing sand in each others eyes and calling each other names, you realize that the USA is one large self-centered pile of malarkey…

The new battle cry of the American Republic, “Not my President!”

Yet, I do appreciate this new interlacing on the America First policy…

As long as the world can keep the USA within its own sandbox and throwing sand at each other? As in; Poking their own eyes in hate and accusations?

It is far better they (Americans) are fighting each other than when they are exporting death, war and chaos around the world to innocent people everywhere!

I feel sorry for Canada and Mexico. Can you imagine what they are thinking as the US sandbox heats up and sand gets thrown outside the sandbox…

That is the real issue at hand!

Collateral damage…

Since America has spent the past five decades turning the country into a giant kindergarten…

Long popcorn people!

Life has become:

Paradoxically and unexpectedly devoid for the ones who still believe “Russia is USSR” and who forgot to upgrade their Geostrategic brain-chips…

Yet now the “believers” have instigated intentions upon not just Russia, but China and add a tidbit of Iran into the pot of Russia, Russia and more Russia….we have become?

Who put these so called “believers” in charge?

Oops…

Multiples of people have purchased electronics that I use. I do not write about electronics unless they impress me a whole bunch. It is a serious sideline of mine and now I have come across a device that simply beats most competitors flat footed…

I feel the desire to write about my latest acquisition…

Maibenben Laptop (XiaoMai 6Pro-E5100):

Lets start with images…

I acquired this laptop after wearing out and or having my very favorite laptop (before) confiscated by my sweetpea for work. The last laptop that I wrote about was a Lenovo Yoga…

Center Hotel – Tallinn, Estonia Just wonderful… (Coffee Time)

I came home that trip above with a Lenovo Yoga 510 PC….I won it at a raffle…

Several people bought that same laptop by me just writing about it. It does not make me money, but I do appreciate it when people take what I write seriously. For I am seriously writing about the object and never getting money for doing such a thing…

Well to make a long story short….the Lenovo is a fantastic laptop and works works works daily as Svetochka’s work computer. Easy come easy go, I say…

Therefore, what I used (Dell Inspiron 1300) has finally reached its lifespan and the old Dell workhorse has seen better days. Almost 15 years old and still kicking. Who could complain about that?

Yet, it cannot do what is needed anymore… 🙁

In comes my new Maibenben XiaoMai 6Pro-E5100. NVIDIA card installed, Great CPU and 16 GB RAM. Talk about going modern in life! It can hold 32 GB of RAM and I am working on finding that…

It has a SSD of 256 GB and a 1 TB of HDD drives installed and other than a cooling issue and a borderline screen, it is perfect. The screen is livable, just leaks light when dark completely at the corners and I found a cooling pad to lift the laptop off its base to allow the laptop to cool better. The airflow from the fan goes out the bottom, not the side and it cannot ventilate without help. Now it works perfect. No overheating…

Perfect for Windows 10 and or Linux and or as I do; quintuple boot….Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Fat Dog Linux, Ubuntu Linux and CRUX Linux. It is called the best of all worlds for me…

The link above is to the main site in English and yes it is Chinese….Oh My!

Sveta and I were able to get this laptop at a Black Friday sale at 50% off…

If you need a laptop?

It is really a different world:

Masks and gloves in all businesses if you even try to venture out. No exceptions and no excuses. No options, put on a mask and gloves to enter anything…

It is like the whole world has become a form of as prison for humans…

Except when I am in the Tiny Russian Village…

So even when I walk with Svetochka? Taking pictures is not as easy of a situation as it use to be. Svetochka has gone to work today….major operation to get everything lined out for her to go. One thing is that all parts for her servers are sent to our home now…

Or if you need auto parts like this lady getting a battery for her car…

It is a delivery business anymore…

Fast Food delivered, as below…

I mean everywhere are delivery guys…

The delivery business in Russia, which sucked before the King Covid-19 era, has become a fine tuned machine. What use to be a joke as to when you would get what you ordered, has become perfected and is well oiled now. Businesses either deliver? Or wilt & die on the vine, so to say…

Just look for the purple sign, everywhere…

China has taken the internet ordering by storm and companies like AliExpress, Ozon, Wildberries and such are running record sales as they set up deliver services and or hole in the wall pick up places all over. Wildberries has become a powerhouse of a Russian internet store. They set up cubby holes on every corner and you can pick up that internet order in just a few days. From toothpaste to brand new smartphones…,with easy return policies and satisfaction guaranteed to delight even the most ridiculous customers…

AliExpress and others such as them have huge warehouses set up in (all over) Russia and nothing takes more than a few days to get by the new system in effect. We know, we use it exclusively…

Delivery in Russia has become a phenomenal operation:

It is a sign of the times. You want McDonald’s? It is on your doorstep in 30 minutes. You want a new computer? It can be on your doorstep in 30 minutes. You want and you want? It can be there in a few days at most. As with everything, the more you pay the faster it comes…

Svetochka loves the world the way it is. She did not like having to go to work today to do server maintenance and install new batteries in her servers. Yet this is only a once every few weeks operation that needs to be done. Still somethings have to be done in person…

The stay at home worker in Russia has become the mainstay and contrary to reports, Russians are (at least who desire) working and working a bunch. Money is not an issue and supply of everything is plentiful….when compared to the Western World that we so spout as being wonderful….yes issues are in Russia, yet they pale compared to what I see happening in most of the world…

Russia is actually flourishing under King Corona:

The issue is that Russians are very introvert and in a generalization, they have taken to the Covid-19 era like a fish to water. Sveta is a perfect example. She is happier than a “pig in a mud waller” to stay at home and work work work…

Sveta does work from home and works hard…

I am glad to be here in Moscow, my sweetie is my life, yet, I desire the Tiny Russian Village. As I said to Sveta, “I am a farm boy and if I want to take a piss, I want to walk outside and take a piss!”

Sveta looks at me as if, “You barbarian!”

But that is why she loves me! 😉

Kinda hard to even walk outside in Moscow and take a piss, much less even walk around the block…

I cannot remove the barbarian (country boy) from my soul…

So at the end of February 2021, this barbarian (country boy) is going to be working on getting to the Tiny Russian Village. By that time, I will have reached my point of either getting to TRV or needing to be restrained from doing bad things, such as walking around without a mask and gloves…

It was an improbable romance. He was a country boy. She was from the city. She had the world at her feet, while he didn’t have two dimes to rub together. – Jeremy Leven

But it works and one day, sooner than you all realize, us country boys will have the perfect village, farm home, that will be the only place that the family is able to survive. The Tiny Russian Village that I stay at is one of the last bastions of freedom that we have left in the civilized world…

Moscow is as big city as it gets and is survivable by myself personally. But, 10 to 15 million people is just too many. Yet I enjoy Moscow and all it has to offer…

We just ordered a bow and arrow. A hunting bow! It will go to TRV and stay….the future will need such a weapon. I am proficient in use of such weapons, for sport and hunting. Many a deer has fallen to my arrow. I need to tone up my rusty skills a bit and TRV is just that place…

I will start to make arrows again, as I use to do…

You see:

I utilize Moscow and its different flow of life to accomplish things that I could never get done in the village. Or get done quickly for the most part. But, I am rebuilding and fortifying the village homes to be future proof…

I am seeing the light at the tunnel end. There are so many lighted side tunnels as we go along….yet the end light is showing itself to be a totally changed world and most of us are going to live to see this world. The ones who are ready? Will see the end light differently than the ones who blindly stare at their smartphone screens and expect Google and such to guide them…

Yes, that bow and arrow will be needed in the Tiny Russian Village…

It is really a different world…

(2020 is a lost year! – 2021?)

This is true and has been brewing for months now. It is sad & just a sign of a sick society of the Western World….

MOSCOW, December 11. /TASS/. An information campaign against the Russian coronavirus vaccine bankrolled from abroad is underway, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov told reporters.

“We know in detail what funds and resources have been earmarked from abroad to discredit the domestic vaccine in the world and in Russia,” he said.

According to the spokesman, “a series of pseudo-analytical investigations” and false “eyewitness” testimony about the alleged danger of the Russian vaccine or rejection of vaccination, including in the Russian Armed Forces, is being prepared in social networks and Russian-language Internet resources funded by foreign grants.

Konashenkov stressed that the Russian vaccine was highly effective, and fake news about it would not improve the “healing properties” of its foreign counterparts.

Sputnik V registered by Russia on August 11 became the world’s first coronavirus vaccine. The vaccine was developed by the Gamaleya National Research Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology. Its post-registration trials began in Moscow on September 7, with volunteers receiving the first vaccine on September 9. A total of 40,000 people are involved in the program, 10,000 of them received a placebo instead of the vaccine.

According to interim research results, the efficacy of the Sputnik V vaccine exceeds 95% on the 42nd day after the first dose, provided that a patient receives the second dose.

So why did Putin & us peons get peeved?

Because food prices jumped for no reason, other than profit mongers… (profit monger (plural profit mongers) A person, business or profession marked by avarice and greed.)

Moscow. December 10. INTERFAX.RU – The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin criticized the actions of the ministries, which did not react properly to the rise in prices for certain products, reminded them of their official duties.

“Why did the responsible ministries and departments not take timely measures and missed the situation with the rise in prices for important products, although you have all the tools? They underestimated the risk, let it go,” Mishustin said during a regular government meeting on Thursday.

He recalled that the day before, at a meeting on economic issues with the President of the Russian Federation, the rise in prices for a number of products was discussed. “This is an extremely sensitive topic for people. In the context of a decrease in income, this is simply unacceptable. And on the instructions of the head of state, we must take concrete measures to effectively contain prices for products that are important to people,” the prime minister said.

“Dear colleagues, I want to remind you that back in the fall we saw this trend, paid attention to it, but many of you explained such an increase only by a seasonal factor, not taking into account the increase in exports of these goods, and the dynamics of world prices for these products, , reduction in the production of a number of commodity items. But the seasonality has changed, and the situation has not improved, “- said Mishustin.

The prime minister instructed deputy prime ministers, ministers and heads of relevant departments to take measures to resolve the situation with the rise in food prices. The Federal Tax Service has been instructed to directly report to the Prime Minister on food prices every Monday, and the Prime Minister’s Assistant Igor Artemyev will need to summarize all information from ministries and departments and prepare a weekly report. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko was instructed to personally supervise the execution of all orders.

“The Minister of Agriculture today needs to negotiate with producers, and, of course, involve the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Federal Tax Service in this work,” he said. Mishustin instructed his first deputy Andrei Belousov to take part in these negotiations.

“We see that there is really no shortage of products now. There are enough of them to provide our consumers,” he stressed.

The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with the government on economic issues, at which they discussed measures to ensure the availability of basic food products for Russians.

Before the meeting at a meeting with the head of the Ministry of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev, he recalled the shortage of food during the Soviet era. “Then they said:“ The Soviet Union has everything, but not everyone has enough. ”Then there was not enough because there was a deficit, but now it may not be enough because people do not have enough money to purchase certain products at the prices that we see on the market, “the head of state explained his idea.

Later, at a meeting, Putin stressed that the rise in prices for basic food products “cannot be explained by a pandemic,” and demanded the timely use of price containment instruments.

Fun to watch!

It is a King Covid-19 World!

It is not a subject totally wrong to me. People (Humans) are really an interesting group and the fact that we even have to print and post such information is enough to cause sarcasm and whatnot’s to explicitly be pronounced about. Yet we as humans, really need to be lead around like children, or else we throw sand in each others eyes at the playground…

This is a PDF link to the information on how to be a good human:

The+Covid+Guide+to+Etiquette+and+Pandemic+Politeness

Bless them British hearts! Just when I was running out of Russian Covid signs to look at…

Everywhere there are signs signs everywhere the signs…

The UK comes to my waning desires and gives, gives and gives more Covid-19 love advice…

Catchy phrase? Covidiot!

Sometimes I want to just be safe from all these humans in the Tiny Russian Village!

Besides, nothing worse than some human, coughing, mumbling, sneezing and slobbering as they are pushing their way to the cashier with their mask hanging off one ear only, as they want to pay for the bottle of beer/ale they so desperately need….let me through, I only have one item!

God Shuffled His Feet – Crash Test Dummies

[Verse 1]
After seven days
He was quite tired so God said:
“Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread”
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: “do you have to eat
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?”

[Chorus]
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

[Verse 2]
So he said: “Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air
He thought of how his friends would come to see
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?
[Chorus]
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

[Verse 3]
The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him: “I beg your pardon:
I’m not quite clear about what you just spoke
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?”

[Chorus]
God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

Cold, snowy and perfect walking weather. Therefore, Svetochka and I have been walking three to five hours a day in the early morning and then settling in to stay warm the rest of the day…

Still having issues seeing my site (WtR), but all is good as it is easy to bypass such issues. Grumble grumble says the bear!

Thus, I am on a proxy to even write this article! The whole world can see WtR easily, but me….Gotta love life?

I have been working on a new laptop that we just acquired from AliExpress. What a dream machine. Dirt cheap, very well built, powerful hardware and well, just plain really cool…

The old Dell has reached its basic usefulness. It is 15 years old now and cannot keep up anymore with modern life. A newer laptop, bought several years ago from a local shop, just plain sucks and was a piss poor purchase by us, mainly me….it will become permanent TRV next year. It is really sad. A past netbook, never buy a Windows netbook, is history and the Lenovo Yoga Laptop that I won in a raffle in Estonia, has been confiscated by my sweet pea for home work!

So I had been plucking away on an old Dell tank like laptop, with a Linux OS to allow it to stay functional and getting by. Now I am so special…

But, I still have to deal with why my site does not load at our home?

Everyday, I check upon the charade called, “USA Presidential Election 2020″…

I thought King Corona was a bunch of stupidness?

No, the crowning of the head puppet of the American Empire makes King Corona look like a panty waist….I think!

Tell Biden and Trump to go away & lets find, redo and enjoy someone totally different and whom has a very different mindset than two rejects in the puppet department. Better yet, tell them to go away and then we will see that the USA will run exactly the same if we have a president or not…

But the Trumpets’ and the Bidets’ are all seriously “worship concentric” in their existence at this moment!

Puppets do not run a damn thing. The string pullers (puppeteers) do…

But it all makes for a good soap opera, just like the British Brexit crap and we still are acting like it matters, as Trump looks more and more like a spoiled child. Tough job, yet Trump is up to the job of a spoiled child! For that matter so is Biden, Obama, Hillary, Bush and a whole bunch more that we have endured over the years…

Who wants to be president?

This video makes me laugh and feel good!

Ya!

Thus…

WE are still alive and still posting to WtR. Just been so busy and walking a bunch, dealing with King Corona Virus and its backlashes…

Sveta and I know too many people who have now been killed by Covid-19. It is really sad and we are glad that the hard hit healthcare workers & teachers are getting the first vaccines. Many in these two professions have left us early in life this past year…

Sveta and I are thankful everyday that we have the means to keep King Corona out of our lives so far! Knock on wood…

Not often?….and actually not at all!….in all the years that I have posted on WtR, have I been able to look into a situation like this below…

MOSCOW, December 3. /TASS/. Moscow’s Lefortovo District Court has ruled to arrest Russian scientist Anatoly Gubanov suspected of high treason, Court Press Secretary Darya Rozmakhova told TASS on Thursday.

So lets do some tidbit research:

Russia’s Criminal Code – “Article 275, High Treason” is only possible by a Russian citizen in only three ways:

1. Transmission by a Russian citizen of state secrets to a foreign state or an international or foreign organization or its representatives, if the citizen had access to such information.

2. Espionage: the transfer, collection, theft, or storage of information constituting state secrets for the purpose of transmission.

3. Providing financial, logistical, advisory, or other assistance in activities against the security of the Russian Federation.

Extra Tidbit: If dual citizenship? (Eg; As in one passport Russian & the other Israeli.) They will always be tried as a Russian citizen foremost. High treason is punishable by imprisonment of 12 to 20 years.

Therefore, since this has been drawing my attention and interesting me? I will be looking at what this “High Treason” situation is all about?

WtR – and most likely many tidbits to be posted about this case?

1. Tidbit: “According to the investigation, Gubanov handed over secret aviation development data abroad,” the source stated, without providing any details of the criminal case or specifying the foreign countries involved, as the case materials are top secret.

2. Tidbit: Coming soon…
