If you're lucky with your citizenship. Others get 3yrs or 1yr max. And that's after administrative processing if you're unlucky, which might take years: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog…

It works reliably and without surprises. Messages are not lost. No weird errors. Features: easy to switch devices, including PC. File transfers. Video sharing. Audio-to-text conver…

I got mine when I was 12, IIRC. Not a credit, of course, it was a debit card, but not all countries bother to differentiate between the two, it was just a “bank card”. And I believ…

I would read «КНЦ» as «КОНЕЦ», literally “an end” or “the end” (Russian does not have anything resembling articles). Who needs vowels, anyway. Also, «ВСЕ» feels like «ВСЁ» in this …

Huh, great to know, thank you. For some reason, I thought the game gets de-listed completely and no downloads are possible anymore.

One does not have a debit/credit card at all (e.g. they're young, or don't have enough documents, or are an immigrant from a sanctioned country). Alternatively, the card is rejecte…

Not a lawyer here. My advice would be to relax, enjoy Armenia, and assume you are not entering the U.S. in the next couple of years, for any reason. Administrative processing (I as…
