I read the series and have absolutely no recollection of any of it. Not even the genre, much less the plot.

Reply to Financial crime watchdog FATF suspends Russia’s membership over Ukraine war by sherry_waseer

To people not familiar: if FATF blacklists Russia, it effectively ends any financial transaction involving Russia and any other FATF member (ie most of the world). It's like every country sanctioning everything Russian all at once. Currently only North Korea and Iran are on that blacklist.

Reply to Why Nikola Tesla is So Famous (and Westinghouse is not) by pier4r

True story: Westinghouse stole a patent from my great-great granduncle or something. It was about a new type of brake. We have original documents at my parents' place and the salt is still real.
