Well, sort of.

The ruble is so untrusted that commerce within Russia often is done in dollars as Russia is the largest holder of US banknotes in the world.

It's not the nineties anymore.

China - well let me know when their currency flows are not restricted, and they adopt some sort of internationally accepted accounting standard.

I am letting you know thus.

I know, that is why I have written "naturally aspirated" ;-)

All naturally aspirated engines still (technically) suck, even if they use injection. Injectors inject only fuel, air is still sucked into the cylinders.

Well, gasoline engines are the furthest along and they still suck. Trying to make them more efficient is a dead end, that is why hybrids appeared in first place.

I have a smartwatch - motoactv. But I don't usually wear it (only when I am out hiking in the mountains), it is strapped to my bicycle handlebar instead.

Growing up has nothing to do with age.

What shelters? What bombers? The two times USA has been bombed during the WW2 were the Pearl Harbor incident and the bombing of Fort Stevens. And only a minority of the US population has served in the military during the war - about 10% of the population.

I actually loved the old Windows Mobile. Its multitasking and copy&paste were much better, than everything that you can currently buy. Windows Phone though... meh.

Sigma uses Foveon sensors, not Bayer, that is why there is no CFA involved. And that is why IR photography is not a mod for Sigma, the dust protector/IR filter is designed to be removable in a few seconds and you can put it back just as easy. I think the Sigma engineers designed the camera as a potential IR camera.

IR is easy with Sigma DSLRs. Remove the dust protector (it is just clipped in) and you are good to go.

Fair enough, trying lapsang souchong was my worst tea experience of my whole life. Was like kissing a girl that smokes (also something I won't do ever again).

Heh, even Glushko (the constructor of RD-170) himself couldn't believe that it was possible, that was the reason for the conflict with Korolyov. So Korolyov gave the engine development to an airplane engine designer who didn't know that it was impossible and NK-33 came out of this.

In this case, drink at home.

Well, if he said that human life is sacred then he'll be against capital punishment then?
