Russia talks to Iran? Sorry more sanctions…

China talks to Iran? Sorry more sanctions…

Iran blinks as it wakes up in the morning? Sorry more sanctions…

~~ The USA as it is saddened by using sanctions: “Sorry but you are all forcing us to put sanctions on you! You know this hurts us worse than you? But someone got to discipline you evil guys.” ~~

Why the US is so far in left field anymore that we have sanctioned Russia for human rights issues in Chechnya over supposed LGBT violations. Remember this is a pure Muslim area of Russia. Not the GUM Mall Gay Paree of Moscow…

The western agenda has been shoved down everyone’s throats so far that it is starting to come out peoples asses as they speak from both sides with their orifices…

~~ LGBT in Gay Paree Chechnya. ~~

I guess that if you want to sanction? Any excuse that you make up is a good sanction excuse!

Why lie USA?

Just sanction and tell the world, “We hate them and despise them and are scared of them and we think you are ugly and will sanction you. Because we don’t like your face!”

USA has become a stupid ass country of blathering idiots…

Almost six hours we walked…

Started off misty/foggy at -12 degrees and that created a beautiful world of hoar frost. Sveta was amazed at the frost and that made me wonder at how often does Russia get frost like this! Much the less, how is it “misty” and or “foggy” at -12 degrees?

Like leaves of ice…

I found it occasionally in the Tiny Russian Village, yet yesterday, we had kilometers of hoar frost and as the sun came up, it vaporized and vanished…

Just at eye level and below…

-12 and we found the lake buzzing with Russians…

Ice fishing, skating, skiing and walking like we did. We also stopped and had lunch. I had made two thermoses, one with coffee and one with tea and two wraps for me and two buterbrod for Svetochka. We also had a treat to eat…

The ice was two feet thick at least and guys were drilling holes everywhere and fishing. It was great and as we finally started home, the Russians really woke up and I would say that the lake became full of monkeys by the time we got home…

So this morning I have sore feet, for we walked 17 kilometers total and for some reason, I am not as young as I use to be! 😉

WtR

We finally found the issue!

I dunno?

Something within our WiFi router was burned out and WtR, plus a few more sites were inaccessible to us. Our IP is still like Dunno! I am still like Dunno! and I simply tossed the router out the window and am using a WiFi card that I installed within the desktop years ago. Just turned the Ethernet into WiFi via the desktop. Looks like burned out sectors of the router. Could not even reset the thing, even a hard reset did not even erase anything. It was stuck in one mode…

Now to solve how to get WiFi all over the home again, like it was before. WiFi extender will work? Maybe repeater?

Dunno…

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!
