You'll be fine. I went swamp swimming plenty as a kid and my grandmother would salt the leeches off me.

Nice!

That reminds me of https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bloodsuckers-1.5361074 where I learned:

"... resist the temptation to pour salt on [a bloodsucking leech], as folk wisdom recommends, because that could cause the leech to vomit into the wound, posing unnecessary health risks, suggest biologists behind a new exhibit on bloodsucking animals."

I am in a similar situation. Looking for work now and am finding both LinkedIn and Indeed have remote jobs. I also came across RemoteRocketship.com which is a subscription service. I am also talking to my friends and former colleagues. Good luck!

We're investigating right now. Looks like a potential issue with Cloudflare.

Can I use it with Perplexity API without going through OpenRouter API? I want to try it but I don't want to go through a third party.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm Russian. But I'm sure that Russia has no intention of seizing territories of Western countries, Russia already has a very large territory. Ukraine is a different story, there really are a lot of people there who used to live in the same country with Russia(USSR) and speak only Russian language and really sympathize Russia. I'm not saying it's good to seize territory even in that case, but all other countries that has little only Russian language speaking population have no significant reason to be afraid. As I wrote earlier NATO currently has more troops and equipment than Russia.

Former Soviet person here. I grew up in Kyiv, than we moved to Tallinn after Chernobyl.

Estonia has over a quarter of its population as Russian speakers.[1]

They don’t want to have Russians take back over.

Congratulations on your anniversary!

You might want to fix the first blog post date was in 2015 not 2025. :)

Keep it going!
