Well, when all you need is a warm seat to say да when the time comes, it doesn't matter WHO you put there, eh?

Hell, you probably WANT to put the crazies in there, so you can save the actually intelligent people for the jobs that need a brain. >_>

Totally да. That son of a lawyer. Zhirinovsky. The only reason I can find to take political news as entertainment.

So, Russian central bank spent $15.5 billions  since the last thursday.

Here is the answer why USD is worth 53 rubles right now.

Where did you get that number, though?

Tried googling "russian central bank spent $15.5 billion" and found nothing of the sorts.

Oh, I made a mistake 15.5 billions were spent from december 12 to december 19. Looks like this stuff is announced with one week delay.

One of places to look at Russian reserve is here:

And most of the foreign currency sold by Russia came out of 5 largest state-owned exporter companies' coffers, so it wasn't Russian Central Bank's in the first place.

Here's a more detailed look at the measures the CB has been taking so far.

Well, to make place for a new building? All the reason you normally demolish buildings...

Still, quite a funny fail. :p

I was wondering if they had a legit reason for demolitioning it or they were demoing it just because it's there or because it's an Ukranian building.

That is not a controlled demolition. A few years ago there was a failed demolition of a hospital in Australia which killed some bystanders. They I sufficiently weakened the structure, and relied on large charges rather than many small well placed ones. Debris flew hundreds of meters across a river towards coordoned off onlookers.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Yeah, in controlled demolitions that I've seen, theres usually charges on multiple floors, especially for tall buildings, here they just sort of exploded one floor and left the rest intact.
