3. What to do if the operator charged you for roaming, but you have not left Russia. Return is easy
For a day on the German Peninsula in Murmansk and without using the local Internet – minus 1,400 rubles from the account. Not a lot of money, but if I hadn’t noticed it in time, we could have spent 5, 10 or more thousand rubles.
Why did this happen: on the territory of the peninsula, I several times found myself in the coverage area of foreign telecom operators – respectively, Norwegian ones. The iPhone quickly connected to it, tried to get online, even changed the time zone without my knowledge.
It’s good that you can get your money back. Just like protecting yourself from any situations in the border areas of Russia. In the following example I give the main operator, but I am sure that for other “opsos” everything is the same, plus or minus.

4. Like three friends with a jetpack. One was murdered, the second was kidnapped, the third was imprisoned for the statement of the second
In 1995, test pilot Bill Suitoril was ready for one of the most important flights of his life.
He put on a 60kg Rocket Belt 2000 backpack, pressed a button and took off into the air. His flight lasted about 28 seconds, but that didn’t matter. The main thing is that flying on a jetpack has become a reality.
Rocket Belt 2000 was developed by the American company American Rocket Belt Corporation, which was founded in 1992 by Joe Wright, Brad Barker and Larry Stanley. In a few years, one of the founders will be killed, the second will be kidnapped, the third will be imprisoned for the imprisonment of the second. And no one will see a bigger invention.
