Ahhhh OK, I see it now. My eyes were probably crossed, I was probably reading it in Russian.

I'll forward to Google translate. 
Interestingly, you wrote in Ukrainian, not in Russian.

Heh,
I dated an Ukrainian for a few years and picked up some of the language. I am nowhere near fluent though. The slavic languages are closer to the Germanic languages than most people realize.

It was a good, fun clue.
I am torn to decide if it meets the rules though or not... it's the "definition at one end or the other" part that is missing, but perhaps it could be argued that it's still valid. I am no expert.
Anyway, I think it's a good clue, especially for your first one! 
EDIT: Also... we aren't overly strict about the rules to be honest. You might get some groans if you bend them, but its all good.

I did find something online that said that the definition at one end or other is common, but not an absolute requirement.
Naturally, I am now unable to find this statement.

I just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out why a very simple Linq2Sql, basically "where...foreach...update record...submit changes" wasn't working.
Turns out Linq2Sql breaks badly and very very silently when you override GetHashCode and Equals in the class.
I'm rather annoyed right now.

Must be the missing Linq

I spent some time tracking down a bug in EF Core Code First last week.
I created a new table, but EF wouldn't apply my changes to the database.
After searching for waaaay too long it turned out I didn't call the function that updated my database

Mira Furlan: Babylon 5 and Lost actress dies at 65[^]
She had some great lines: Quote: The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are star-stuff. We are the Universe, made manifest, trying to figure itself out. And, as we have both learned, sometimes the Universe needs a change of perspective.

A friend of mine, an avid B5 watcher, made the observation a few years back that there were a number of actors/actresses from that show who passed away not that long after the show concluded. Granted, it's now been a while, so obviously more and more are getting older, but his point was - Star Trek was on in the late 60s, and so far of the main cast, we've only lost Scotty, Bones, and Spock. B5 has had more actors die, and at a much younger age.
Not talking about those who played minor parts like Majel Barrett or Grace Lee Whitney. I don't know enough about B5 to even tell who was one of the "major" characters or not.
[Edit]
Some people are even discussing a "Babylon 5 curse". :-/

If you get the chance, it was worth watching - it was one of the shows that started the transition from 60/70/80's style "it must be all sorted in an episode, two at most" to the more modern and realistic "long story arc" version that gave us shows like The Expanse, Stranger Things, GoT, etc.
It had problems, and some (very) weak episodes but it was damn good for the time!

TBH I think I've already given it more than a fair chance. I sat through its entire first season when it was still being broadcast and found it downright tedious. For one, ST:TNG's first 2 seasons were arguably very weak, but even then there were a few gems that made it worth the bother. And then it found its stride. I found no such redeeming quality in B5's entire first season.
If a show takes that long (20-25 episodes back then?) and still fails to produce one episode I consider to be decent, I can only conclude it's not for me.
I sat through other shows from J. Michael Straczynski - I think he's got a style that carries through whatever he writes, whether that's intentional or not. At this point I go out of my way to avoid anything he's involved in.

B5 Season 1 is really weak. The story really starts in Season 2 but without having seen Season 1 you won't understand the references in seasons 3 and 4. Avoid Season 5.

At least a proud legacy - a major player in what may end up being the best Sci-Fi series, ever.

I'd vote for "The Expanse" myself, but B5 would get my vote for best "pre 2010" series.

So I went and looked it up: It's on Prime - so I haven't seen any of it. The way amazon has gone in terms of a bit too "free market", I don't know that I'd find it worth it to spend money on membership.
(WHat I do buy from them normally exceeds $25 or so and ships free, anyway. Often coming in just a few days despite their dire predictions). Actually, membership should be free - after all, to benefit from it you buy through and from them, so they profit by it. Maybe it'll be in the library as a DVD ?

In the UK it's worth it, as it's free next day delivery (so you can order stuff at 10pm and get it by 10am, if you are lucky).
There is a lot of free stuff on Prime Video - but there are so many of 'em these days (Netflix, Discovery+, Prime, CBS, Disney, ...) that you can't get them all!
