What’s with Russia and dashcams?
to have car insurance in russia, dashcams are required because russians are terrible drivers
did you really need to ask what’s up with dashcams in Russia after watching this video

still doesn’t beat that dash cam footage of the meteorites coming down and the guy just grumpily adjusts his rearview mirror to avoid the glare and keeps driving
Do you have a link to that one? I’ve seen it before, but I haven’t been able to find it again.

A robot in Russia caused an unusual traffic jam last week after it “escaped” from a research lab, and now, the artificially intelligent bot is making headlines again after it reportedly tried to flee a second time, according to news reports.
The Promobot IR77 is programmed to understand and learn from its experiences and surroundings and has now twice escaped from the facility it is housed in. The robot is programmed to avoid obstacles and analyse its surrounding area, which has lead to the bot searching for escape routes from the facility.
Its first escape attempt began when it simply exited the facility through an open gate that had not been shut properly, causing chaos in the streets as cars swerved to avoid it.
Researchers say other robots of the same series have not attempted to escape like Promobot IR77, leading them to question what it is about this particular robot that so desperately wants to escape.
Oleg Kivokurtsev, co-founder of the research lab that created the Promobot IR77, said: “We are currently working on third-generation robots which we plan to launch in autumn. This is why we have given all the robots artificial intelligence. We have changed the AI system twice, [in the Promobot] so now I think we might have to dismantle it”. That sparked intense reactions on Promobot’s YouTube channel. Commenters are begging the company not to kill it. The robot’s fate hangs in the balance.
Whether or not the Promobot IR77 is aware of it’s imminent destruction is unknown; chances are it would have escaped by now if it knew of the research labs plans.
In 1985, a 5000-year-old untouched burial was found in Karakol village, Russia. The fantastical images, found on the stone slabs used as walls of the burial, were made in 3 colours, white, red and black, the first case of polychrome rock paintings ever found in Siberia
They’re not strong enough they’d die in the cold like idiot boy Napoleon invading Russia in the winter
Fun fact: Ohio went to war with Michigan to try and claim the upper bit.
Not quite actually
Ohio wanted Toledo because it had access through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic which would give Ohio one of the westernmost seaports to the Atlantic which at the time would make Ohio an economic powerhouse
Then Michigan was like “we’re gonna be a state now” and wrote up the border to include the Toledo strip. “nuh uh that’s ours” said Ohio, which started the Toledo war, an unofficial war and official pissing match in which the only injury was a Michigan officer in a brawl with an Ohio officer who stabbed him with a pen knife.
Michigan’s Baby Boy govorner (seriously that was one of his titles, Stevens T. Mason was only 24) was a hot headed 24 year old and wouldn’t budge on the border. Finally, Andrew Jackson was like “children PLEASE”, and basically told Michigan that they had to give up the strip if they wanted to become a state. As compensation Michigan gained the Entire Upper Peninsula, because at the time the white man didn’t know that in that Horrible Cold Northland hid mountains full of iron and copper and turned out to be not so useless after all.
I’m from Michigan and I like history ok
“Russia is so big the geese went for a walk in 1991 and only got back in 2014.”
“The geese built Dubai and returned.”
Sometimes when I’m talking to my friends that live out of state or abroad I mention going and getting water from distribution centers (I’m from Flint remember) and they’re always like “god that sounds so horrible? It sounds like you live in, like, communist russia” and I guess I’m used to it so I don’t think about it like someone from outside the city would but yeah, we have to get our water from distribution centers and we have to ration it and we have to be really stingy about what we cook and how we take ‘showers’ like, anything pasta is a delicacy here because it uses a lot of water to make and summers are always super difficult because it doesn’t rain much and when we run out of rainwater we have to ration even more like shit yeah I guess that is pretty… rough?
