so i wonder if there's a chance of catching a fish from the toilets in sochi if they have to put signs up telling you not to try?

Nah there's no chance, the toilet fish rarely take artificial lures, that's why the sign says don't bother

Stalker. It's based on the novel Roadside Picnic. Both inspired the game. Read the story, then watch the movie. Or the other way around. They both own.

finally a event to get me to seriously watch the olympics besides beach volleyball.

It's such a brilliant piece of comedy since one of the selling point behind hosting the olympics is be able to show a shiny, unrealistic version of the country and therefore
help build prestige on the world stage.

If there's a real emergency in these buildings everyone is hosed.

All the doors lock and unlock at random.
Can't find the fire hose because it's hidden in someone's bathroom.
Bust through a door only to fall through 5 floors of tarp.
The fire exit is just painted on the wall.
Only hope is a tiny window, but its 10 feet off the ground.

Even if by some chance you get to the fire hose, you'll find it's running off municipal pressure (60psi or less) and will not operate as intended.




These are straight up garden hose fixtures, and the reason they're in the bathroom is because they're tapping off the municipal supply. In a "real" building, these would be fed off a separate stand pipe with a pump to keep the pressure at like 100+ psi. The hose is like 2x the diameter of the supply pipe, by the time anything trickles out of the nozzle, you're dead.

В КНДР ежегодные военные учения США и Южной Кореи назвали репетицией ядерной войны и потребовали их отмены. Вместе с тем, несмотря на возрастающее напряжение в отношениях, Северная и Южная Кореи договорились о датах проведения встреч семей, разделенных Корейской войной 1950-1953 годов.



Дело в том, что есть такая вещь, как традиционная северокорейская риторика. И каждый раз на фоне этих учений делаются подобные заявления, учитывая то, что на этих маневрах отрабатываются не столько защитные действия, сколько захват Пхеньяна, других стратегически важных объектов на севере и так далее. Поэтому разговоры о том, что проводятся оборонительные маневры — это разговоры в пользу бедных. Факт известный.



"Что я могу сказать по мирному договору — обе Кореи хотят его подписать. А вот США не хотят, потому что надо признавать в таком случае существование КНДР, и плюс к этому решать целый ряд вопросов юридического и другого характера. Надо объяснять, например, что там такое произошло, почему войска ООН были на границе с Китаем, на каком основании. Пограничный вопрос — пограничная линия проходит частично в пределах территориальных вод Северной Кореи, что по нормам международного морского права вообще это нонсенс, чтобы граница одной страны проходила в территориальных водах другой страны, ну и целый ряд других вопросов".



Тем временем, ведущий научный сотрудник центра северокорейских исследований ИДВ РАН Евгений Ким (Ким Ен Ун) считает, что подписанию договора может препятствовать позиция США.



на Юге есть министерство объединения, которое отличается от министерства иностранных дел, и которое курирует именно отношения с Севером. Статистика торговых обменов между Севером и Югом тоже не считается частью внешнеэкономических связей и проходит по отдельной



Отмечается, что большая часть людей оказалась не готова к такой аномалии, вплоть до того, что у многих даже не оказалось зимней одежды. Кроме того, иранцы мерзнут даже дома, поскольку централизованное отопление в стране вообще отсутствует. Отмечается, что в некоторых провинциях возникли проблемы с подачей электроэнергии и газа.

Those dogs aren't strays they're just pets waiting to be given to the athletes, everyone gets a dog. Happy times! Not everyone can win a medal but you can all go home with a puppy. No losers at Sochi.

Except the gays, anyone who drinks the water, has a light fixture fall on them, or is injured at the events.
