I think the complication is that Artsakh has been recognized as Azerbaijanian territory for quite some time whereas Crimea has been recognized as Ukrainian land.

Yes the USSR drew the lines, and it seems to be done on purpose to cause ethnic tensions should the USSR ever collapse (and surprise surprise, that’s what we have now)

That is a very common tactic with Russia. Annex land, then forcibly remove the local population and move a bunch of Russians in. Then it becomes easier to claim the “new territory” as filled with Russians.

Again, I think the major distinction is the recognized borders of the territories. Artsakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, not Armenia.

I have the family premium plan and honestly love it. I haven’t downloaded an mp3 in years because Spotify is so convenient. As far as subscription services go, this one is top tier for me.

Now when we look at movie streaming… well that’s what the music streaming could have been like. What an absolute mess.

I can’t wait for mods so that traffic can be “fixed” in that it feels too easy. I absolutely loved the puzzle aspect of fixing traffic in CS1, minus the dumb behavior with lanes. Right now it seems too easy to deal with traffic, and this is with my dumb city design. I intentionally made some bad intersections just to see what would happen, and while there is some traffic sometimes, it doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Perhaps a mod to disable vehicle despawning since it does happen still.

How about all those businesses who hire illegal immigrants have their owners/executives go to jail? See how many farms, construction companies, restaurants, etc. go under. I would guess that many of these owners are registered R as well.

Yeah, and what do you call a high risk pregnancy that would normally have ended in abortion? Now women are forced to carry the pregnancy (viable or otherwise) to term putting their health and lives at risk.

Educate yourself on what’s going on before spouting nonsense.

PiHole, Plex and the related “*arr” apps. I also self-host my home automation platform (Home Assistant).

Not if you build an NFC tag reader! Then anyone can scan tags! Great for music jukeboxes!

I started to play around with WLED and integrated a whole mess of LED lights to HA. I’d also recommend ESPHome so you can build your own devices. Voice control, water flow rate sensors, etc.

Oh sorry, I meant that with an nfc tag reader you don’t need the smart phone. Apologies that I wasn’t clear.
