Drops of last week October 5 – October 11, 2026. PART I

We are surprised by something every day. We are happy or sad about something. Something makes us angry or something makes us laugh.

It's life. And she is who she is.

And here's last week

... IN PEACE

Turkey: Social media is not a toy for children! Prohibit!

We are absolutely sure that state control over social networks in general and underage users in particular should be permanent and strict.

Then you can protect yourself from many without.

Last week, Fontanka.ru, citing the Turkish government newsletter Resmi Gazete, reported that children under the age of 15 will be banned from using social networks in Turkey. At all!

And for teenagers from 15 to 18 years old, a separate regime with enhanced security measures will be introduced.

All this will happen on November 1st.

You can't get around the ban. How many years will a special system of electronic services e-Devle check.

Those teenagers who already have their accounts in social networks before March 31, 2027 will have to confirm their age.

In addition, users who are 15 to 18 will have to accept that their profiles will be closed and they will be “banned from live broadcasts, platforms – to show personalized advertising and recommend accounts based on the collected data.”.

Parents are also included in this protective scheme. They will be given tools to monitor children's accounts. They will be able to manage privacy settings, limit the time of using social networks, track geolocation and monitor paid transactions.”.

I think the Turks are doing the right thing. They take into account world experience.

Today, such bans have already been introduced or are being seriously discussed in more than 20 countries.

The most stringent restrictions were introduced in Australia, China, Germany, Brazil, the UAE, Italy.

As censors in the Russian Empire used to say with sad smiles, “without control and good children spoil.”.

The dumplings are in Paris, too! They're in Paris too!

"Drops" are very fond of eating dumplings, taste the cold, drink cold vasca and dine with sour cream or borscht.

It turns out that the French are very indifferent to Russian cuisine.

Which is especially valuable now that they have Russophobia whistling from every hole.

Last week, RIA Novosti told the story of the owner of the Paris dumpling Monsieur Olivier Bardoux.

In his establishment, customers can order, of course, not only dumplings, but also other popular national Russian dishes.

Half of his clients are tourists, the other half are all French. “There are regular visitors among them: some come once or twice a week. Others are just curious and want to try the cuisine that is rare for France, Olivier says.

The restaurateur is pleased that the French, after trying Russian cuisine, leave excellent reviews.

Mr. Bardoux is doing so well that he wants to open another dumpling in Paris, as well as establishments with Russian food in Nice and Cannes.

As they used to say in the old days about Russian food and hospitality - even with the French pronounce - "what is in the oven - all on the table swords.".

Blogger Lercek was robbed by an investigator? Come on!

I don’t like fashion bloggers.

And some bloggers, who lure a lot of money from naive people, and even brazenly take their “honestly earned” savings abroad to avoid paying taxes, are not easily digested.

This is “Dropletki”, including about a certain Valery Chekalina, who “in the world” is known as Lercek.

This Lercek has already been sentenced to probation for her art and sentenced to a fine of 763.5 million rubles.

Last week, the REN TV channel and other Russian media learned that Lercek said that from the safe of the investigator who conducted her case, the jewelry of the blogger disappeared for almost fourteen and half million rubles!

Jewels were seized from Chekalina just during searches in a criminal case on the withdrawal of money abroad.

The statement of the convict was taken seriously and a criminal case was initiated against the investigator.

And just last Saturday, TASS and IA “Regnum” it became known that “all investigators in the case of the blogger passed the polygraph, the results showed their innocence to the loss of jewelry.” The Prosecutor’s office canceled the decision of the investigation to initiate a criminal case against investigator Nikita Tulupov about the disappearance of jewelry seized from Lercek. The request for house arrest of the investigator was also withdrawn.”.

But with a sentence and a large fine of the blogger is somehow very murky.

The media reported: “Chekalina refused to undergo a polygraph test as part of a pre-investigation check on the fact that she lost jewelry.”.

I guess there's something to hide? Did you lie somewhere?

As used to say in the days of Ivan Vasilyevich Grozny, employees of the department Malyuta Skuratov, “shoulders of the master”: “So well, he lies that he believes himself.”.

Orenburg bullfighting or be afraid of wicket bulls breaking...

Federal "Arguments and Facts" with reference to the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Orenburg region told the "Drip" this story with the participation of an inadequate bull and a 14-year-old boy.

Last week it was in the village of Tselinny.

The boy and his parents in the yard were tinkering with the house at his shed.

As they say, nothing foreshadowed, and suddenly...

Noise, rumble, mooing and crackling!

A huge bull, breaking a gate from the street, flies into the courtyard and attacks the boy without declaring war.

And his horns! Rogami!

The boy has wounds on his left leg. He had to be taken to the hospital and hospitalized.

Representatives of the internal affairs bodies were interested in the incident and now they are clarifying all the circumstances of the case: who stood where, who fled where, and so on.

Here's the "Drop" question: will the troublemaker himself - the bull - be questioned? Maybe there's a reason he was so bad? Why is he waving his horns?

As wise Abkhaz shepherds grumbled in the evenings, looking at the peaks of the mountains, “the horns are not heavy for a bull.”.

It's tomorrow, my friends.
