Dear Sergey, Eugene, Dmitry, Aleksandr; with a bunch of 15 letter last names I can’t pronounce (and I’m 50% Russian myself)! Thank you for your hard work restoring Bitness. You faithfully [...]
When I had my dog Magic not so long ago, we used to enjoy running together. Usually we would through the woods for miles, Magic with a big grin plastered on his face. The problem was, if there was [...]
There are about 650 named muscles in the human body (personally, I have 651 when you include Vitamin-L, a/k/a the Vanilla Love Log, but I digress). In addition to named muscles, there are at least [...]
