500,000,000 USD is 47,426,915,583.93 Rubles. Also, the boomer generation is already indoctrinated from the old Soviet era, which is why they’re so entrenched in their stoicism.
I am blissfully unaware of the differences, and since I’m playing the steam deck on my TV the only HDMI cable I rummaged around for and found in our pile of obsolete cables is doing the job.
He was a big dude…and health was his last concern.
Fernand Point, Chef, La Pyramid.
Besides the champagne every morning, this chef was one of the first to emphasize mentoring young cooks.
“You may be born to cook, but you must learn to roast.”
Point was a large man, and he liked to eat. It is said that he rose early every day and ordered all the food that would be required from his regular purveyors (he forbade the recycling of leftovers from the previous day; “Every morning the chef must start again at zero, with nothing on the stove,” he wrote. “That is what real cuisine is all about”) and then sat down to a solitary breakfast — a light snack, like two or three roast chickens — accompanied by a bottle or two of Champagne. For his 50th birthday, on Feb 25, 1947, he cooked a modest dinner for his friends (and himself): foie gras parfait, warm woodcock pâté, a mousse of trout from the Rhône with crayfish sauce, cardoons with truffles, beef à la royale (stuffed with ham and truffles, garnished with cockscombs and more truffles), aspic-glazed cold truffled Bresse capon, Saint-Marcellin goat cheese, a marjolaine (invented by Point, this now famous cake is an elaboration of the classic merinque-and-buttercream confection called the dacquoise), lemon sorbet, and assorted fresh fruit, all irrigated with Dom Pérignon, Château Grillet 1945, and Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Brunet 1937.
He was generous with others as well as himself. In an era of obsessively secretive chefs, he shared his knowledge freely. He loved serving large portions to his customers, and roamed the dining room making sure that everyone was satisfied. He assigned young chefs to work side-by-side with their most experienced colleagues. “It is the duty of a good chef,” he wrote in Ma Gastronomie, “to hand down to the next generation all that he has learned and experienced.”

I am encouraging my 2 children to vote in what will probably be the Last US Elections.
Neat.
At this point the Kremlin propaganda machine is working overtime to capitalize on the Israeli war,and everyone is taking the bait thinking Fatboy is going to give 2 shits and really show those Dems!
Cabbage says what…?
Not bad, actually working on licensing my IP/trademark to a restaurant group…so that’s interesting.
Yes, but counterpoint: if Ukraine actually launched 100, then the total number reported by the Kremlin would be 500+. Mostly because they are full of shit, which has been scientifically proven.
Had a nice dinner out with friends, Greek grilled feta with peppers and onions, Merluza (sea bass), salad, fries.
So if I remember my Russian math correctly, they actually shot down 3 of the 27 that were sent.
This was the plan (tinfoil hat time). Since the Arab spring, governments and regimes have wanted to control the free communication of people so that they would not be able to organize effectively. Now, the enshitification has taken a life of its own.
Came here for this, not dissatisfied
A corporate analogy/strategy is to block your competition from the market share.
For example, a company I used to work for would open accounts in non-viable/non-profitable locations so that our competition would not have the chance to get more market share.
Big corps don’t give a shit if it works or not, as long as they are the biggest they can squeeze out anyone else, so they will launch whatever is trending (meta/threads) and bullshit thier way into another piece of the pie.
My point is the ‘regular’ people who are completely indifferent to the regime because ‘well, that’s just the way it is’.
