True humanitarian disaster is unrolling in #Russia as the authorities are switching off mobile Internet in places even very distant from the front line to stop Ukrainian UAVs. It has the unintended consequence that without mobile Internet you canât buy vodka.
Since 2019 Russia introduced very strict regulations, according to which each sale of alcohol is registered in real-time (!) in an on-line system run by tax administration. This regulation is intended to enforce time restrictions on alcohol sales, so you canât buy it after 23:00 and before 08:00, plus many more - for example on some holidays, in some locations etc.
If Internet doesnât work, shops canât register sales so they canât legally sell alcohol. Risking huge fines and losing license, they wonât even offer âdelayed registrationâ and widespread snitchery makes it really difficult to bypass these regulations.
This is a great read. https://thingofthings.substack.com/p/i-was-a-juror-on-a-murder-trial
> So you say here on your jury questionnaire that a police officer once stole your car, ran over your cat, and crashed it into your living room, while singing a song of her own invention, You Are Stupid And Ugly And Thatâs Why Iâm Doing This, Also, I Can Get Away With It Because Iâm A Cop.
> Random people in Alameda County are also fully based and ACABpilled. I think probably a third of the people questioned were asked something like âyou said in your jury questionnaire that âall cops are lying bastards and I hate them.â Can you elaborate for us on what that means?â
> In an act of sheer writerphobia and systematic oppression of bloggers, youâre not allowed to remove your notes on a jury case from the courtroom... So every break, I rushed to my laptopâmind full of contraband knowledgeâand scribbled down as much as I could remember.
Last January, I was on a jury for a murder trial: it was my job to determine if Bomani Hairston-Bassette murdered Charles Wright. Youâre not supposed to sell your story for money for 90 days after the trial is over, but itâs been more than 90 days, so now I can tell you all about it. Iâm going to first talk about the case, then about what it was like, then about how the experience affected my views about the justice system.
We've basically arrived in the "don't take any service for granted EVER" era of the web.

Luke: âyou knew my father?â
Obi-wan: âOh yes. That guy was a dick. Accidentally born stuffed full of magic force-bugs, lucked out a few times pod racing as a child, basically peaked there. Grew up an entitled, incompetent jackass. Crap pilot, liability in a fight, couldnât stop acting like some crybaby incel even after one of the most powerful women in the galaxy inexplicably took a liking to him, finally carved up a kindergarten and got made an alt-right hero for it. [smiles] Flammable tho.â
