  • I'm sure that in PR the drinking age is also 21 and same with smoking, since these two things can also have "irreversible consequences"... Right?

  • The books Cowbee was refering to on ComLib are This Soviet World, Soviet Democracy, and Russian Justice. As it says on the website, I really like This Soviet World, and I might recommend it as the first to read. It's a quite broad look at life in the U.S.S.R. around the time it was released. But reading order isn't important. Russian Justice is a slightly more nerdy book, especially its first parts—before chap 10 it's more about the law—so if you are more interested in what the jails are like you may wish to skip those chapters.
    It's been some years since I worked on Is The Red Flag Flying? so I can't quite remember if it fits what you are looking for.

    Besides those I have finished, I have Red Medicine (Arthur Newsholme and Dr. Kingsbury), Justice In Moscow (George Feifer), and Soviet Administration of Criminal Law (Judah Zelitch), very early in progress so it will take some time before I finish them, but you can go onto annas-archive.org and find PDFs of them. Red Medicine is as its name implies, a book about the healthcare system in the Soviet Union. Justice in Moscow seems to be (I haven't read these three books) something akin to an updated Russian Justice. Soviet Administration of Criminal Law is a study of the development of the Soviet judicial system from the revolution until ~1931 (when it was published). It was originally a thesis, and is quite long, but if you read Russian Justice (and maybe Justice In Moscow) and feel you really need to know, well it exists.

    Lastly (these are books I haven't looked at) there are more books by Anna Louse Strong (author of This Soviet World) which you may be interested in. Szymanski (author of Is The Red Flag Flying?) has some books, I know of Human Rights in the Soviet Union. Not sure if any of them fit, but if you need more/other books, I'd point you those ways.
    And, while not a book, the periodical Soviet Russia Today could interest you. To quote Anna L. Strong in Soviet Russia Today:

    Neither Berlin, nor Korea nor the atom bomb is attracting here as much attention as the tremendous fact that Russia is planting trees!
    Stop for a moment, please, and think about that!

  • Something about quantitative changes (local socialist revolutions) and qualitative changes (

    GOBBUNISM) or something....
    DIALECTICS

  • ...oh

    Jump
  • Not left, nor right, FORWARD! (Dont look at the signs, we should do 100)

  • Its probably decently expensive running those nodes, and so why do that, when you can just let someone else do it and then tap into German and French and US ISPs and get all the data anyways.

  • hexbears might not be able to login since [auth.]?fediverse.events is not in allowed instances?

  • I just tried logging in, it doesn't seen to work with hexbear, but does with lemmygrad

  • No, sorry. You should be able to, as CARCOSA says you should get a code through a DM.

  • Well... Yes. In the same way that a gmail account is an email account. But you can't log in to hotmail using your gmail account, even if both are email.

  • We believe that now with the integration of Google Assistant, which is very critical with the voice command and this newly designed steering wheel, that we can offer this together with this large touchscreen so that we don’t have the situation where people want to control parts of the vehicle and are not focused on the road

    Ok, but what if I don't want to shout at my car? Do I then have to take my eyes off the road (as I do the car I drive currently) ?

  • There is ARIA, which allows you to mark stuff, one of which is to skip (if I remember correctly. Tbh, I haven't used aria)

  • Hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and the easiest solution is to make it someone else's problem.

  • Also once you know that 0 °C = 32 °F and that ±1 °C = ±1.8 °F, the formula is easy: F = 32 + C * 1.8
