Hmm, at the very end it makes it sound like adware for my stack...

HolyArrs is free, but it isn't free to run. Every install talks to a metadata server I pay for every month. Sponsors cover that, and buy more hours for the things you vote for.

    He went and stole Crimea, supposedly that was going to be it and everyone would gone on their way, them he came back for a other bite.

    Any deal he would make is just a temporary pause to let him regroup and come back again for another chance to push out Russia's borders.

    Putin the invaded an independent neighbor for purposes of taking land and people. He's persisted in this endeavor for years despite the suffering inflicted out of stubborn pride. This isn't the toppling of a nazi facist regime but the efforts of an old man looking to have some sort of legacy other than pilfering the pockets of the nation.

    Not sure about a formal definition, but a point at which my standard costs, housing, transport, utils, are covered easily enough where I don't feel a need to set some sort of specific number for things like grocery shopping. It would still be silly to go buying lobster and caviar though because it'd just be wasteful and could be better used elsewhere.

    Regardless though, as to the original question of if someone making minimum wage would see that as easy, not a chance.

    I'm at a reasonable middle class now and $200 would very much be a rare special event thing for dinner.

    People can get creative with food to make something interesting out of basic wares. Back when money was so tight that milk was a luxury sacrificed for transportation, I learned to mess about with spices and techniques to change up flavors with the most basic nickle and dime foods around.
