I bet you have some wonderful stories about military futility. Our military is good at futility, but the Soviets made it an art.

Get some vodka and we will talk

So there's something going on we don't know about that excuses using MacDonald 2nd most of all defensemen?
Or that makes it OK to use Lehtera more than Patrick?
Or any of the other obviously incorrect coaching moves that can't even be debated?

Its got to be the same phantom injury that kept Sanheim out of the lineup but not back in the AHL.

Hey, while you're here. I've been thinking about learning some Russian for work purposes. I was reading that you should skip the transliteration stuff and just go straight to learning the Cyrillic alphabet because some sounds just don't translate over well. You think that's a good approach? I've learned another language, but I've never used a different alphabet before. I'm kind of lost on that one.

Da. I would agree with that. Are you looking into learning colloquial or reading/ writing capabilities?

Yep, everything. A lof of the interactions would be through email or IRC, but I may also be traveling there a bit.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I really appreciate it.

You are on fire

In a good way or a bad way?

Russian language (mostly) does not have spelling, and usually a letter sounds exactly as intended. Additionally, there are more letters in Russian than in English and some of them do not have latin alphabet equivalent. So, for a beginner I would advise just to learn it without transliteration.
Are you planning to take classes?

You caught my attention at “mole letters”... but then I realized it was just a typo and was a bit disappointed, to be honest.

I had to chuckle because I wasn't even scrolled down to where his eyebrows began and I could still tell what movie it was.

 

[BernieParent]

Is Nuevie okay?

One might say to be passionate is to feel strongly about something; or to possess love or hate.

That's what you're seeing.

I'm trying to picture a person who is passionately indifferent and it made my morning.
