If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

No-one in their right minds would ever, willingly visit Russia!

Yeah, right…

Cheers!

Did you use the internet during the DOS era? Can you describe your experience? How were images displayed on the black screen when everything was just text-based commands?

Or; more likely, fighting each-other - trying to push someone-else (anyone-else) ahead of ourselves.

Carson, Segal, Musk, Trump… (add to the list as applicable)…

(…and the Russians are paranoid that we in the west want to “INVADE” them!!!… Yeah, right… >In their bloody dreams<)!

If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

I can just see us westerners; all fighting each-other to get to the front of the queue…

(Which rather explains something else)…
