This is one hypothesis that makes sense here, because the deal sounds like one of those horseshit proposals already presented by Pu previously and designed so Zelensky will obviously reject it.
I'm pretty sure that good music helped me greatly through my rather questionable youth and made me an okay adult. It was pretty much a godsend, and without it, my life would already be quite shit. Likewise, since it's a big part of my life now, taking it away would make the rest suck a lot.
As it happens, China does have dual dating since 1912 (with some fluctuation), using the Gregorian calendar for most things except traditional holidays, which are celebrated according to the Chinese calendar.
The Gregorian calendar is generally one of the safer things to bet on, in this day. What could be that person's thinking with the languages, however, that I don't know.
TBF it's kinda true for pistachios. The seed itself, excellent. But the thin brown skin that's left in the shell? Outstanding. It seems to absorb all the salty flavor that's bestowed upon the pistachios.
What's the defining good quality of cabbage when it comes to the texture? Because the watery taste is nothing particular to write home about. It's rather the fact that it's crunchy! And it stays crunchy when marinated! Unlike the spongy mess of boiled cabbage.
It also takes on the flavor from carrots and beets, turning the whole thing into delicious sour-sweet crunchy cocktail.
Boiling cabbage is just ruining the product. The only good way to prepare cabbage is to marinate it with vinegar, shredded carrots and beets, optionally adding some coriander.
USians love to shit on Soviet apartment blocks, but you know what Soviet apartment blocks have? Separate water supply in the kitchen and the bathroom, with enough pressure for everything unless like half of the floors in a high-rise decide to shower simultaneously.
TBF hippie and, uh, post-hippie crowds looked like that at pretty much any psychedelic concert in recordings from back then, especially when on tv (what with krautrock originating from psych-rock). I'm guessing that with at least some of them, it must've been the constant struggle to stay put while mildly zoinked on a quarter blot of acid.
In the case of Ramones, it's kinda especially ironic to talk about other music building and improving on their foundation, seeing as they specifically returned to simple, fast and fun approach of early rock-n-roll. The heyday of punk was remarkably short-lived, post-punk swooping in almost immediately, and new-wave shortly after that. Already by '78, the ‘no wave’ scene did another round by steering away from commercialization of new-wave! So indeed, Ramones are a document of this early era, but they also had their own particular approach to music, not quite captured by most other bands, as punk didn't really have a groovy sound to it.
Traces of this can be seen in the fact that there's almost no electronic music that feels like Ramones-style structures, but with electronic instruments: i.e. electronic rock-n-roll. I know of ‘Gabber Gabber Hey’ and Helen Love linked above, and perhaps also Sexy Sushi. This is despite the existence of plenty of electronic punk and post-punk.
Fun fact: since Ramones are pretty much rock-n-roll in punk, their songs actually work well reinterpreted back in rockabilly (it's impossible to find actual rock-n-roll covers because of their two songs with this word in the titles).
Wine has some compatibility differences between its versions — I've had to downgrade it before because the newer version didn't work with the app I wanted. So, if you're ever in the mood to try again, you could check out an older version, and perhaps try launching a simpler app like notepad which is iirc supplied with Wine.
Also, Wine launched from the command line, with the exe as the parameter, usually prints a lot of stuff some of which may say what libraries weren't found, and winetricks allows installing those libraries easily (if it's still around, I haven't done this in a while). Typically something like ‘MS C++ redistributables’ or the .NET framework is necessary.
Somehow I'm sure just from your comments that I wouldn't consider most anything that you listen to ‘good’, and I've heard lots of musics in my life. And I certainly wouldn't turn down good music just because it's old or simpler than other music.
