I was wondering what that short cane left by grandfather was, and now I know. Thank you.

There was a sci-novel about that, I don’t remember who wrote it. Essentially, after FTL got invented they caught up with generation ships and retro-fitted them with FTL drives; overall message of the story was that humans are a valuable resource and they should not be discarded lightly, especially in a mission to seed the galaxy.

There was no need for an AI. There were multiple mathematicians, most prominent of them being Sergey Shpilkin, that highlighted multiple significant statistical abnormalities that strongly suggest (read ‘strongly’ as ‘most definitely’) Russian elections were rigged partially or in full as far as 2007. It’s not like Navalny and others gathered almost a million of protesters on the streets of Moscow in autumn of 2011 over nothing.

(Look up “Sergey Shpilkin russian elections” if you want to know more)

Pretty cold of them to comment it this way. It looks like Raiffeisen is playing some sort of waiting game.
