Funny to look back at this two years later.

Except I don't work when someone is looking at my hands or into my screen. I just put pen or mouse down and stare at whatever is outside the window. The best working hours are from around 19:00 to 22:30 (or even later) when everyone else has left, it's all quiet and I can open windows without anyone complaining it's too cold or something.

Wait, so, at least partly, photography can be blamed for those fake "plastic" smiles?

Aging population also means low crime rate (crime and violence is highest, where there are a lot of young males, like in Arab countries, especially, if there are more of them, than females), which means few machines get broken.

Oh common, Trump is all about lies and being stupid, so no big scandal here. Well, OK, US president doing the same isn't really acceptable, so that's were the House and the Senate should step in.

"Colour inclusive" emojis are actually segregative one. Where before simple smilies were just colourless contours, now you need to choose their colour. And judging about the rest of the world by US cultural concepts and prejudices is plain stupid.

Because it was too limited, while idiots like Assad don't get such slight hints. It's like antibiotics - full therapy must be applied or it will be futile.

@Owais-Ali Да неужели?! What do you do, ir an adversary has S300 or even S400? Well, the usual stuf - jam it and keep hitting targets, like Israel does in Syria, which as Russians claim "is all covered" by their AA systems. BTW, now it's April of 2019 and US just moved several F35s to Middle East just this week.

@Owais-Ali And that's awasome, as it would provide NATO an opportunity to test capabilities of S400 radar and to find ways to evade and suppress those systems. Thus I'm all for it! I mean, before western countries had to find ways to get to Soviet planes and tanks through third parties, but there Russians themselves are giving that stuff away. Perfect!

@clayr6264 Who's economy USA crushed? What load of BS is that? Neither Turkey nor Russia has all that important economic ties to US, instead they both are deeply integrated with Europe. Even in my hometown a while ago most of the buses were made in Turkey.

@clayr6264 "..Because of the chronic inflation experienced in Turkey from the 1970s through to the 1990s..." "..This represented an average inflation of about 38% per year..." (I gather, that was data from 1966 to 2001) Doesn't seem like just some crisis in diplomacy, more like problems in economics, maybe politics too, as invasion of Northern Cyprus surely din't made their currency more stable. Many countries went through this in more or less the same period, Israel too introduced a now Shekel IIRC that was in 1980s.

@Owais-Ali Supress what? "Supress" aeroplanes? I'm not entirely sure such sentence makes sense in English.

@Owais-Ali No, this is how an access to an area may be denied or restricted, it's not "supression". Besides stealth planes do not casually fly over radars anyway, steals doesn't make them invisible (only Russoans call them that - "невидимка), only harder to detect.

@Owais-Ali No, but I do speak Russian fluently and most of my Internet friends are guys from Russia (not all of them Russians by ethnicity) or Russian speaking guys from other countries. My wife is of local Russians, since nearly 1/3 of people in my country speak Russian as their first language (not me)

@Owais-Ali I'm a bit idiosyncratic to "victories" in discussions. I can persuade someone, if I'm right. I can get something new to me and change my opinion (until 2008-2009 I was a climate skeptic, but then I met guys, who really have numbers on their side, not BS about conspiracy of scientists). or we may both go our own way. IMO, "winning" or "losing" is a dubious concept here. And.. well, I sort of have Facebook. It's UI sucks, so it's there mostly used to login into mobile games some years ago and nearly abandoned since. Almost. Now it's used to log crap that people say to me on "World of Tanks" private messages after the game. XD

Ian Brown Yeah, but back then manh guys were walking the same path, Mikoyan of Soviet MiG (Mikoyan - Gurevich design bureau) also believed that future planes will be like rockets with miniscule wings, with almost no maneuvrability needed, just speed. F-104 was exactly that.

Lesson here being: if you want to silence a protest, send in some paid thughs, and "mission accomplished" - nobody cares anymore, what was that protest about. Well, except protestors themselves, but who cares about them?!
