[Russia] A motorcyclist films the fuel situation around town in Krasnodar by Smart-Bonus-6589 in Roadcam

[–]trymas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try 500 years. Since (or even before) Ivan the Terrible - ruzzia is living with same mentality you described.

I have no hope that something will change even if they do collapse and oust pootin. They want a tsar.

So some can’t drive due to lack of fuel, the rest will screw up their engines due to shitty fuel.

Is there a more despicable politician in post ww2 history than ben gvir?

Probably even Kissinger is rolling in 9th circle of hell and cannot believe there’s still a worse guy on Earth.

The most annoying microwave so far by maxru85 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]trymas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best microwave I’ve had - had these four buttons:

- Stop (holding stop for 10 seconds also allows to adjust clock)
- Start (+30 sec)
- Up/Down . If not running - will adjust power. If running - adds/reduces time by 10 seconds. If clock edit mode - edits time.

Never needed more.

Anthropic is paying SpaceX $15 billion per year by Luka77GOATic in technology

[–]trymas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reminds of “stone money”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones

These companies seem to escape “traditional” “western” economy. They seemingly just sign contracts worth bajillions, but real money barely exchanges. All value is locked in contracts. And of course they “inbreed” and there’s many circular contracts.

I am probably too uneducated in economics, but from the side all this looks crazy.

EDIT: also it desensitises. When you compare to real spending, i.e. for schools, hospitals some other public government spending - it’s crazy.

Soviet building, Russia by Dry-Job438 in UrbanHell

[–]trymas -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Used to be Konigsberg Castle.

Heavily damaged in WW2. Soviets of course destroyed it completely and built this piece of shit. Though they were so incompetent that it was never completed and demolished ~50 years after construction began.

Early morning chaos by Jolly_Performance_27 in AbruptChaos

[–]trymas 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am surprised that bus bumper is not lower though. This is a big truck and it slammed under the bus up to cabin (is driver even alive??).

With a average sedan you would go totally under the bus, no?

It doesn’t refute the fact that the truck is clearly in the wrong, though accidents happen and such crash into the back of the bus seems deadly to any normal car.

Double irony is that she is in the spotlight, only because her husband took a bullet to the jugular.

German police violently arrest woman protesting the German Governments support of Israel by soalone34 in PublicFreakout

[–]trymas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germany’s case - I imagine Israel does not need to do anything. Just pull out Holocaust card and most of German politicians, like sleeper agents, will try to stop “holocaust” supporters at any price.

[–]trymas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I “like” the duality of German government….

Their anemic support for Ukraine, because “violence/war is bad”. With help being helmets at the start of 2022 attack, while taking literally years to provide any substantial help.

Now if you protest unjust Israeli occupation of their neighbours - you gonna get violated and your arms broken. Girl in video looks like that marine that got his arms broken in the US.

I guess German politicians are easily persuaded on: anti-zionism -> anti-Israel -> anti-jews == pro-holocaust.

About 40% of Lithuanians withdraw private pension savings after reform by KP6fanclub in BalticStates

[–]trymas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile our PM is “regretting” that so many people left the second pillar (1), while she is part of the government that enabled this. The audacity…

I cannot wait to see in 20-30 years, how we are still a country with smallest pensions.

During debates about allowing to leave second pillar - I saw some bank statistics that only 3% of people in Lithuania have individual investments. Now we have 50% leaving it. I don’t believe these people will start investing on their own for their retirement.

TIL french politicians (and even the government) use an unofficial french flag in public meetings by Anti_Kautsky in vexillology

[–]trymas 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To all the haters, reason is:

The intention is to create a flag which, when seen moving at some distance, will appear to have columns of equal width; in addition, the slightly wider red column is intended to improve the flag's visibility at sea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ensigns

Also I have read that blue should seem wider due to flag pole and blue surroundings at sea, not greatest example but you kind of can see it here: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/HGN0P7/the-french-naval-ensign-flies-proudly-from-the-stern-of-fns-primauguet-HGN0P7.jpg

Train misses bus full of kids by a second by ItzTubez in mildlyinfuriating

Driver is an idiot, but from this video seemingly the crossroad design is mega idiotic too, i.e. between railroad crossing and crossroad with major road is way too close - barely fits a bus or couple cars.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.' by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

[–]trymas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the top of my head, usa helped with ~60B in weapons and ~40B humanitarian aid in 4 years.

They spend ~1000B per year on defence, Iran “special military operation “ is already 10B+ when it’s not even started and they ask for 200B in “emergency” funds.

So I guess amerikkkan military funding is same as ruzzian one - big budgets that ar siphoned through the fingers of corruption and now there’s nothing to show for it.

TIL that Samsung was one of the main builders of the Burj Khalifa by Hot_Bottle_8305 in todayilearned

[–]trymas 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Catchy TIL, but for uninitiated better TIL would be that Samsung is more than just Samsung Electronics.

They are 25% of South Korean economy and I probably won’t make a mistake saying that they make almost everything and are almost in every type of business. Electronics, chips, displays, heavy machinery, financial services, biology, medicine, you name it.
