I believe this is the Canton that finally allowed women the vote in 1992. My dates might be slightly out but not much.

This one clearly showing the vehicle stuck in the mud.
Didn’t see this posted yet.
Yahoo news reliable?

If you change the domain of a twitter link to nitter.net you can read it and scroll to your heart’s content without the annoying sign in popup!

I mentioned this above, but another invaluable tool for following the news is the google translate plug in. For anyone already obsessively checking the news now, going straight to Russian and Ukrainian sources adds a lot. Telegram more than twitter seems to be where most of the local social media chatter takes place.
It’s very interesting to watch what’s being reported in the Russian news feeds (like the TASS telegram updates link I posted up above).

This is an aside, but this is not the right characterisation as now you are involving the liquidity available in a market. When you buy or sell any asset you affect its price, and the rate of increase/ decrease will depend on available liquidity (e.g. how many people are willing to buy or sell the asset for a given price when you are trying to trade it).
Best to just think about market cap as amount in circulation * USD price. It doesn’t have much meaning for currencies.

Jeez, do some work and this thread gets 150 posts. Have you folks managed to deal with Valambrian yet? Basically until and unless Putin stops his offensive in Ukraine and withdraws his troops, any contemplation of Putin’s interests is premature and inappropriate. We can get into all sorts of stuff but a blatant attack like this eviscerates the normal considerations. STOP FUCKING ATTACKING. WITHDRAW YOUR FORCES. Then we can talk.
If you choose not to talk but to speak the language of the gun, well, see what that gets ya.
Let’s fund his legal defence.
I thought I read something similar upthread?
Time to quit the job and watch/read Ukraine news as many hours as you can stay awake.
As a westerner, I understand what you are saying. But you aren’t looking at it from a Russian viewpoint.
The reason Kyiv should care is first of all a significant number of people in Ukraine have strong ties to Russia. Russian is their first language, they are married to a Russian, they grew up in Russia etc. Putin is the leader of the Russian people, in the view of many folks who call themselves Russian.
The 2nd and obvious reason that Kyiv, should care is that Putin controls a huge army, and has enough nukes that no country is going to stand up to his acts of aggression. Putin thinks that Ukraine should be part of Russia, this trumps most facts on the ground.
No, but as Juan Raigada started talking about upthread, it’s not too early to start to contemplate what things would look like post-war as it seems like we’ll have two wrecked countries to worry about. As high as emotions are right now, leaving Russia unaided after we reach whatever end state this conflict reaches would set up another several decades of Eastern European instability.
Or in the case of a friend of mine who is Ukrainian, my understanding is that his father considers himself neither Russian or Ukrainian but a child of the Soviet Union. I never got the sense that his father wants the Soviet Union to return, in fact, he’s lived in the US for something like 20 years, he just culturally didn’t consider himself Russian or Ukrainian.
Some days this feels like what I’ve actually done. I’m sure there won’t be negative consequences…
Me too, and it’s both a blessing and a curse that I’m answerable to nobody but myself right now. Good thing I can just blame NATO for me getting nothing done.

‘If NATO never expanded eastwards in the 90s I could have finished that report for you, but alas…’
If Putin can use it, so can I.
