Поймал себя на том, что иногда мне нравится ездить на автомобиле, а иногда нет. Понятно, что чилить на автостраде это прикольно, а пробиваться через городские пробки — нет. Но я осознал, что иногда мне в городе вполне прикольно, а иногда нет. Я даже в пробках иногда стою спокойно.
Начал рефлексировать, и понял: мне приятно ездить, когда я никуда не тороплюсь. Когда можно опоздать на 5-10-15 минут, а то и на полчаса. В гости к друзьям обычно можно опоздать. В магазин можно опоздать, если ты не под закрытие едешь. А вот если едешь на какое-то мероприятие ко времени, то опаздывать нельзя, и обычно даже 10 минут неприятны.
Дорожная ситуация меняется не слишком предсказуемо. Время на поиск места парковки тоже не определено. Да и постоянное искушение где-то что-то нарушить, чтобы не опоздать. Либо наоборот — выезжаешь на машине сильно заранее, и на месте просто ждёшь полчаса.
В общем, машина хорошо решает задачу "Добраться куда-то в место, плохо доступное другими видами транспорта". Но не слишком хорошо решает задачу "Добраться куда-то к заданному моменту с точностью плюс-минус 5 минут". А, например, пешком + метро решает хорошо. Можно, конечно, пофантазировать на тему какого-то предсказания и правильного планирования, но на деле пара забитых перекрёстков вполне могут стоить вам 10 минут, что в контексте городской жизни довольно много.
P.S. Скоро у меня отпуск, и будут очень интересные посты про дроны и мототехнику. Хотя погода в Питере как обычно норовит подвести в самое неподходящее время. С таким климатом хоть на автомобиле езди!

Today, TON and Telegram represent a decentralized spaceship with 13 million inhabitants on board, ahead of its time. Cryptocurrency gives many people hope for a free and secure life. Web3 is not just about pixel images and taps; it is also a technology uniting millions of people who today collect coins together and tomorrow could make an important decision for the whole world.
In the few years since TON was established, communities have sprung up around the world—in almost all CIS countries, as well as in Denmark, Italy, Nigeria, Iran, South Korea, Hong Kong... these are just the ones that come to mind because I personally read them. But the community itself is huge and, most importantly, international. It is also very friendly. Just look at the scale of support for Pavel Durov with the ✈️ symbol that hundreds of channels with multimillion audiences simultaneously posted.
I have never encountered racial or religious animosity in TON chats. No one has offered me drugs or weapons. Politics are generally not discussed in crypto communities, except in terms of its impact on the exchange rate. Overall, this is a community of enthusiasts who are eager to learn new things and share their knowledge with others. So, I can confidently say that this is a healthy and sane community.
Against the backdrop of current events, it is worth remembering that the idea around which more than 13 million people worldwide have united is alive and thriving. If all these people lived in one country, that country would rank 75th in population among all the countries in the world. The main idea of the Telegram messenger and TON cryptocurrency is Freedom. Yes, the very freedom that its ideological inspirer Pavel Durov is currently deprived of.

For over 20 years, the US has detained 39 Muslim men at Guantánamo Bay, with 27 never charged. The CIA operated secret "black sites" where at least 119 Muslim men were held and at least 39 tortured, without accountability. This system of unlawful detention, rendition, and abuse has cost billions, fueled propaganda by armed groups, and undermined global human rights.

Trump and the American Empire recovery/2
In the grand scheme, reclaiming America’s global dominance is critical to preserving liberty worldwide. Trump’s focus on expanding influence into Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal reflects this understanding. By securing these strategic positions, America strengthens its economy, protects vital trade routes, and curtails the growing influence of adversaries. The fight isn’t just about geography—it’s about values.
Trump’s vision recognizes that American strength is a bulwark against tyranny. A strong America doesn’t just serve Americans—it serves the cause of freedom for all.
But the ultimate success of this strategy depends on one thing: vigilance. America must remain true to its founding values of liberty, autonomy, and justice. That means balancing global influence with domestic safeguards, ensuring that while we project strength abroad, we don’t compromise freedom at home. Only then can the American empire thrive as a force for good, outshining authoritarian rivals like China and Russia, and ensuring a world where liberty reigns supreme.
