Why Russian forces are refusing to retreat from Lyman?

After Ukrainian offensive 2 weeks ago, Russian forces were forced to retreat from most of Kharkiv oblast. Now Ukrainian forces are close to gain control over Lyman in Donetsk oblast. This small town is so important to Russia because the fall of Lyman would give Ukrainian forced access to Luhansk oblast and encircling Russian forced defending the river Oskil. Russian forces defending Lyman are currently encircled by Ukraine armed forced, so we should expect to see fall of Lyman in the next few days. 

What are the benefits of holding Lyman? Firstly, Ukrainian forces will have free way to Svatove and all of Luhansk oblast. Secondly, news of Russian losses on the front will highly affect recently mobilized new troops in Russia. Also Russian propaganda, which is still in shock after successful Ukrainian offensive in Kharkiv oblast, will probably panic once again, spreading fear throughout whole of Russia. This will of course affect "general mobilization", resulting on low morals and high number of desertion in Russian less elite forces.

    Vary your sources Maks. It's healthy and usually more informative to look for news from different news outlets.

New Zealand forbids smoking and establishes prohibition.

 New Zealand recently established new law, which everybody was waiting for. New Zealand's government forbids to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products  by people born after 1 of January 2009. Its purpose is "to make New Zealand smoke free by 2025. This law will also slash the number of companies with permission to sell cigarettes by 2023. Although it seems like a great idea at first, but we must remember how establishing prohibition of certain products made things worse in countries that established it. In USA alcohol prohibition made mafia wealthier and so strong that fighting it was a huge problem for the USA. In other case, in Sweden when the government established "alcohol books" which were required to buy alcohol, alcoholism rate had grown really fast, and the black market was so huge that fighting with it became one of the main problem of Swedish government. The same situation will probably happen in New Zealand. Source https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/13/asi...

Why Tunisian election recorded only 8,8% turnout.

 Last election carried out in Tunisia showed that almost no one believes in changing Tunisian president. After suspending parlament and establishing new constitution, Tunisian president Kais Saied is ruling almost alone for the last year. Because of that, no one believed that voting in this election would change anything in the government or presidential seat. 91% of Tunisians not voting in this election is a signal for Saied that very few Tunisians support him. After introducing new constitution, Saied called other political parties an enemies of people and left them with almost no political rights. By that Tunisia broke the record of having the lowest voting rate in modern history elections.  Source  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/17/tunisian-parliamentary-election-records-just-88-turnout

Games using procedural generating #3

 My third post is about another, well known game, Terraria. This game is called "2D Minecraft". There are many reasons to think that. Terraria has similar "cubic" graphic, is also based on on procedural generated world and monsters. This game was created by small, independent american studio, "Re-Logic" and published by "505 Games" on 16 May 2011. The game received very positive reviews, and it has sold in over 35 milion copies, which is one of the biggest success in video game history. Terraria world is entirely built with small squares of different materials, such as stone, dirt, wood, etc. This game was entirely written in C# programming language. Terraria is also known for being one of the most positive reviewed games on Metacritic.  Sources https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Terraria_Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraria https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/terraria
