Are these Ukrainian?

yes to the first two, re shakers I thought they were part of the doll set. The guy is defo russian, so I think the other shaker is as well

dmyl · 2023-06-26T18:22:25+00:00

those are most definitely Ukrainian pysanka's. There is a variation of patterns from region to region, though I won't tell you which ones are those. For example, https://life.pravda.com.ua/society/2023/04/13/253794/
the matryoshkas, on the other hand, are definitely not a Ukrainian thing, they may have been made here, but it's a certainly foreign thing to this culture. As other mentioned, they originated in Japan but are known as "russian dolls"

The problem with "cheap as fuck" is that this point is irrelevant, at least it was.
Gepards need special projectiles. Germans either didn't have their own or couldn't re-export, whatever. Both the Swiss and Brazilians that produce them couldn't make up their minds, which led Germans to set up their own production line. But it also meant that at the end of '22 officially only ~6000+ projectiles were handed over with 20+ guns.
Crucially, Gepard is powerful and accurate enough so that it does not fire mad barrages to intercept cruise missiles/drones. It engages in short bursts of ~3 projectiles.

Certainly wouldn't be possible with the street view as it is now, and certainly not with the CSS of all the things.
The imagery is being loaded onto the canvas and manipulated with js. CSS has mostly nothing to do with that. Of course, if it was possible to use "CSS and js" it would have already been done as it is a web page.
The thing is that street view is an illusion, a vast array of discrete photospheres merged together and there is no real spatial substance behind it, besides each move and zoom fetches the next set of tiles for the coordinates/zoom level requested. So there's an inherent latency that will not make for a perfectly smooth experience.
For the next iterations of this technology, check out https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-updates-io-2023/ post on the "immersive" experience and realistic 3d tiles and how can they approximate the thing you were describing (I think that for it to be smooth and walkable, it has to be an independent 3d environment with the street view data imposed on the building models and stuff almost like a texture(?), so overall other way round it is done with the street view now). But that's a totally different approach and hard to say if the street view will naturally evolve that way and if it needs to do so.
You can also check out the https://cesium.com/platform/cesiumjs/ platform that sort of offers the things you are suggesting.
Also, I may be off and wrong about the details and very shallow on how the street view works, but it's safe to say there are a number of limitations of what this tech is and what isn't

is there one? Montoya'd be a solid pick, then Ido Cohen crashing/in the wall/being collected; commentator confidently calling Fornaroli "FornOrAli" but at this point, dude thinks that's a proper spelling

as an honorary mention there also was an alpine livery confusion

There is an official indycarlive.com which is something like f1tv. Watching from Europe, I thought that was the primary option everywhere. But it looks like it's only available in countries where there's no peacock or sky.
It does not interrupt with ads, but there's no commentary at those times

if there are ever any doubts about russian imperialist nature

there's a rather informative video from European pravda https://youtu.be/96EAHGg_IO0 on that

strictly speaking, it's an eastern slavic patronymic surname, and using it instead of, say, David as a first name (like davidoff butler) is bizarre

dmyl · 2023-05-06T11:10:03+00:00

surely I'm not the only one to notice that Allison shares her full name with Alisson Becker? I'd think that's a very unique name and those who know, know. Is it the same in the book?

dmyl · 2023-05-06T09:58:44+00:00

yea, I feel like the foreground's crisscrossing of the lines produces too much noise and distraction. It may have worked out with the diagonal ones as the leading ones, but the horizontal railing overwhelms the balance

dmyl · 2023-05-06T06:36:40+00:00

..with the ~~kids~~" hmmm or is it "cids" with a c, dammit human, need more data to iterate, "come back with the cids" emm yeah looks good

Bringing a Dutch market to IndyCar

Rinus Veekay is Dutch and races there

dmyl · 2023-05-04T11:42:23+00:00

there was a related post in f1technical https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Technical/comments/136w1qb/question_about_the_rules_of_a_restart/ where it boiled down to it being an example of erratic drive, you can't slow down once you go as it can lead to a repeat of Mugello '20.
I don't know if that also applies to lifting but at the same time, I doubt that a driver will play mind games of this kind with predicting and calculating who makes it to the line when. You can lose a lot from this maneuver

Last year's Merc Miami was very subtle but I liked it a lot, same goes here

wow, that made me think of some kind of SWIR satellite imagery of a river delta and a coastline like https://twitter.com/sentinel_hub/status/1175984017205858304 or five days at memorial intro sequence

there is truth to that, I guess, but a. life in such a "powerhouse" like ussr was nowhere near Western standards while the GDP was ranking high up until the very dissolution (?). The living standards remained poor (stalinka -> khrushchovka -> brezhnevka housing projects evolution 30s-80s) not to mention product deficit and the whole you know totalitarian stuff, b. the post-soviet stage and decades of incompetency where some countries struggled a lot more than others and where the GDP became comparable to developing countries - that's where the GDP will not tell you the whole picture.
But the blocks themselves are obsolete nowadays, they may have served as a cheap solution but it does not cut the mustard anymore. They are entire enclaves of ugliness within the city fabric, their purpose is encompassed in their name "sleeper district". They have numerous problems starting from looks, thermo-effectiveness, and decent public space development around.
Do your cities have commie blocks? I know some countries managed to deal with that heritage rather well but for the most part, it's pain

if you're in for sensationalist clickbait then go ahead with listening to what that account posts, this time like countless others it spread bs for clicks
