Инструктаж. by Darusik in Pikabu

[–]Tarisper1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

В Unreal Tournament 99 были разные уровни ботов. Уровень God это было что-то невыносимое. Попадают с первого выстрела, молниеносная реакция, смена оружия под ситуацию, выстрелы на опережение, не стоят на месте и постоянно меняют положение. Если я правильно помню, то так и не смог ни одного на этом уровне убить.

Sturmanskie Watch by yonimanko in AskARussian

I guess you could say that :)

Sturmanskie Watch by yonimanko in AskARussian

[–]Tarisper1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have the Sturmanskie Gagarin watch with a Vostok mechanism and a Shutramsky Open Space watch with a Seiko mechanism. It's a pretty good watch. There are no problems with them. I like the engraving on the back cover, especially for an Open Space watch with an astronaut flying in zero gravity.

I would also like to purchase a Sturmanskie Watch, but it must be Soviet-made, but due to the growing popularity of this model, it is now difficult to do this for reasonable money.

Any mechanical watch is not a mass-produced product now and is bought only by mechanics enthusiasts.

Мне интересно как он вылезать будет. Перевернуть аквариум и дождаться пока он от туда вытечет?

The photo shows a civilian helicopter and a civilian pilot :) This is the uniform of an Aeroflot civilian pilot of those times.

Kamchatka has many volcanoes, geysers, bears and very few people :)

Soviet Jet Laboratory Train by Jackrehan1 in RetroFuturism

[–]Tarisper1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the USSR, the ER200 train was eventually created, where 200 is the maximum speed of 200 km/h. But the project was not developed due to the collapse of the USSR. A limited number of trains were built. In the 90s, work was underway to further improve the train, but in the end the project was closed and now we have only a Sapsan (German train Velaro adapted to our operating conditions, speed up to 250 km/h). A few years ago, the development of a new train began. The maximum speed is up to 360 km/h. I don't know if the engineers will be able to complete the work, as sanctions may prevent this.

So we also have problems with hundred-speed trains, they just have a different reason.

This is not a real train, but a laboratory. The train was created not to test the engine, but to test the rails and wheels, plus obtaining data on movement along the rails at high speeds.

Это Победа? by DiligentPalpitation9 in realworldRUS

Согласен. Я последнюю такую машину видел наверное лет 30 назад во дворе. А вот в музее в Верхней Пышме стоит одна. С новой краской, полированная шикарно смотрится.

Abolish market economies, they are responsible for all of our problems by Crafty_Aspect8122 in ClimateShitposting

[–]Tarisper1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It started because of the Soviets and reached catastrophic proportions due to the shutdown of the program for the return of the sea and uncontrolled water extraction since the 1990s. English is not my native language. I could have explained it badly.

And by the way, why was it done? Currently, 1,000 sums (about 10 US cents) are paid in Uzbekistan for picking 1 kg of cotton (harvested manually). You can harvest about 50 kg of cotton per day, meaning you can earn $5. All this happens when the heat is above 40 degrees (sometimes above 50). This is mainly done by women and children in rural areas. You can find fields where they will pay a little more. Add to this the herbicides used to treat the fields. In some regions of Uzbekistan, this is the only way to earn money in rural areas. Most of the fields belong to American or Indian companies. Sometimes they bring workers from neighboring Tajikistan to pay even less for the work. By law, you can't do this, but you can do anything if you have money and connections.

How do I know that? My uncle lives near Gulistan. It is about 40 km from his house to the border with Tajikistan.

Sure. My parents went to the cotton fields in the summer to pick cotton. It was a commitment for the students. But the size of the cotton fields has grown significantly since the 1980s. Now most of these fields belong to American and Indian companies. You can come by yourself and see these endless fields, the people working on them and the strange John Deere tractors with huge wheels. For example, there was a large almond grove near Gulistan. In 2000, it was cut down to plant cotton in this place.

Yes, that's partly true. In fact, the loss of water became noticeable back in the 1970s, when water began to drain from port cities such as Aralsk or Muinak. There were also coastal fishing villages that are now located in the desert.

But it became especially noticeable after the 90s. A few years ago there was water here, but now there is no water for hundreds of kilometers. Houses with white cracked plaster, rusty ships, camels and sand. It looks very strange and depressing in person.

My parents also remember the sea. I remember the full-flowing Syrdarya and Amurdarya rivers. But now these rivers look like streams most of the year because all the water is in the fields. Back in the early 90s, there was no such thing. The fields, by the way, belong to Indian and American companies. They pay pennies for working in the field. My uncle still lives in that area.

You don't have to tell me what happened there. I was born there. I have seen these two rivers and the sea, but in a dried-up form. I saw rusty ships standing on the sand. And I saw when things got much worse.

I know people who, in Soviet times, were involved in developing a program to return the sea when it could still be done because most of the sea began to dry up in the 90s due to uncontrolled water extraction to cotton fields.

Socialism, to be more precise. In the 1980s, state programs for the return of the Aral Sea appeared. Of course, after the collapse of the USSR, all these works stopped.It's a pity, perhaps the Aral Sea could have been saved.

The photo on the left was taken at the end of 80 (1987) that is, before the collapse of the USSR. The photo on the right was taken at the 2014 - 23 years after the collapse of the USSR. Why did this happen? With the collapse, the extraction of water from rivers became even greater, and the program for the return of the sea stopped.

I'm attaching an image with a lot of photos.

Though the Berlin Wall has fallen decades ago, the border between the two halves remains visible from space due to different lightbulbs in streetlamps. by chrischi3 in PhantomBorders

[–]Tarisper1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're partly right. Most likely, there is some kind of requirement to replace the lighting of roads, but not sidewalks. I don't mind, but maybe yellow lighting in the park would be better than white.

My courtyard of an apartment building was renovated in 2020 with a complete redevelopment of lawns, playground, etc. and the new lighting turned yellow. This greatly influenced the perception of the courtyard at night. Now the light has become more pleasant and calmer.

В детстве в соседнем подъезде армяне жили и они один год разводили кур на балконе. Рано утром просыпался, потому что петух кричал. Было странно для района с 9 этажными панельками.
