(yes, "ruble" is trending. and it's gonna be quite a day.)

this was one of my early songs (the intro at least). pretty much my favorite song ever and the bulk of the reason I have a 12-string guitar.

of that I have no doubt.

lolwut

there were a few. but yeah, agreed.

the "anti-car" vehicle is apparently Ukranian, according to the comments. someone suggested that that might happen if the car was suspected of carrying a (hostile) bomb. I didn't watch the entire video (and don't care to unless nothing worse happens after the car gets run over), though, so I dunno.

Biden can't fire him directly. he needs to "update" the board of directors or whatever, and then they can fire him if they choose.

basically, yeah. they also apparently round their lips when they make the 'v' sound. like 'oo' with the top teeth touching the bottom lip.

in Ukranian, the first vowel is what we would call a short 'i'. the second syllable is close to "yeev" (but a pretty short 'ee'). stress goes on the first syllable. the Ukranian pronunciation is probably indistinguishable from "keev" to our English-speaking ears.

oh, that old trick.

I'm impressed. where'd you get a picture that's not in google?

only if we can switch to their parliamentary style of government.

oh, that looks sweet. I'm almost completely on the opposite end, got a Tascam DP-03SD—two mono inputs, 8 tracks. it was fine when I just had a drum machine, software polysynth (recording direct to wav, and no sequencer), and guitar, but now that I'm getting into sequencer-driven synth hardware and synching the sequencers to my drum machine, which has stereo outputs, I think it might be time for an upgrade. not a 2488, though. maybe just a DP-24SD. I've never done the DAW thing, either. I don't mind all the mixing and mastering, but I'm cool doing it on my little Tascam. there's not much to my recordings to date anyway.

gah. so. freaking. cute. I would boop their pink noses all day.
