dev/hack/day yesterday was also great!

I'm not even sure how elephant tastes. Most exotic meat I have eaten likely is crocodile. But probably humans back then there didn't had much choices about what to eat during the cold winters.

Actually that is true. There was recently fire on a country side for relatives at some older building around 3am in night, and it still had asbestos roof from Soviet era and people woke up then and be able to act only because of sound of it's blasting. Otherwise likely fire would have spread to even more buildings, some of which contained natural gas balons, then there were parked cars full of gasoline nearby, etc.

You can earn premium with non-KYC sats if your time preference is lower and you act as a market maker on hodlhodl.com, RoboSats, etc.

IMHO that's the biggest difference - there is Luka Doncic on one side and there is Team on the other.

I hope KP will not have serious injury...

Yes, watching.

Spanish. But I will, some day.

There have been scandals in Latvia about this. I think it's ok, when you bet on just your team winning, not ok when you start betting on number of goals or yourself losing and stuff like that.

Modern automatic transmission is definitely more efficient.

Both Pepsi and Coke at one moment were produced in "Veldze" factory in Riga, not far from where I lived back then. AFAIK, only factory ever that has simultaneously bottled both Pepsi and Coke at the same time. And they actually continued to produce Pepsi till some mid-1990s.

With Pepsi there was a deal - USSR gets Pepsi, Pepsi get rights to Stolichnaya vodka in the West.

For most new car models you still have manual transmission option here when you buy new one. And a lot of people prefer that. I also like manual, somehow I feel more in control.

Yes, because some 90% of cars in USA have automatic transmission. It's different in Europe, people mostly prefer manual transmission, especially for older cars.

Ehh... In Latvia no car that has passed vehicle inspection and still has at least month left to legally drive will cost below 500 EUR.

In Latvia you can't do exam in your car, need to use provided ones. But mostly people do that with manual, otherwise your driver's licence will not allow to legally drive manual transmission cars.

Fiat licensed it's tech for both USSR (Lada) and Poland (Polski Fiat). It was part of the business model for Fiat back then.

But that's not the only example. Pepsi and Coke were also produced in Soviet Union by licence, for example.

There are some chemicals you can use to slow down rusting, in the parts of the car that aren't painted. And from time to time you just change some body parts (ok, not you literally likely, unless you are welder by the profession).
