That's on an individual level, so one ruble is currently lower in value than one Robux. A real world currency is worth less than funbux kids use to buy poo poo in a game. Imagine if the dollar was worth less than a token from Chuck E. Cheese. https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kbd4d/roblox-currency-robux-is-outperforming-the-ruble

If the Ukraine invasion is any rubric, the ICBMs headed for the states would run out of gas halfway over the ocean.

A dollar is worth less than the funbux kids use to buy poo poo in TF2, that doesn't mean anything for the US economy.

Looks like another Ukrainian boxer is in the mix. A bunch of his haters were calling him a coward and that he had fled to Greece for asylum. Now they are saying he’s still there to duck his next fight. Boxing fans are idiots. https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1497990146909745153

The mexican peso is only worth like, a nickel. One South Korean Won is $0.00083 US, it takes 1000 of them to make 83¢. It's not uncommon for 1 of a currency to be worth gently caress all, because we're used to the dollar supremacy. Don't buy rubles though. Unless you're that guy from your unit that bought dinar and in that case, go hog wild, let us know when you give up on making money on it. E: lol so that's where all the ACUs went.

A Swedish krona, worth a US dime, is 100 öre. They haven't bothered making öre coins in any denomination since 2010. I used to have a 1-öre coin when I was a teenager, but I haven't seen it in years.

Yeah, that's a big difference, but it's not going back to 6:1 any time soon either. To think it will, is powerful Iraqi dinar energy. Foreign money discussion always reminds me of that scene in We're The Millers where Luis Guzmán is shaking them down for $20 or a blowjob.

TheWeedNumber posted:gently caress Yeah that's straight nightmare material. That's why I tell people I could never be a submariner or a pilot/crew. At least as infantry, if you get hit, you don't fall thousands of feet and explode or get crushed by massive ocean pressure. For some reason the concept of that really freaks me out.

Honestly submariners have it better in some ways than regular mariners - if the pressure hull gets breached, you're guaranteed a quick death. You go in the drink from a surface ship, and I guarantee you an incredibly unpleasant death, whether its fast or slow.

Given the impressive Ukrainian PR war, with picture after picture of bombed out Russian convoys, the heroic Ukrainian soldiers, and the very real evidence that Russia is not having the time they expected it is going to be emotionally devastating when Russia pours on the strategic bombers and just steamrolls everything and kills everyone. Dammit.
