In wonderful savageness live the nation of the Fenni, and in beastly poverty, destitute of arms, of horses, and of homes; their food, the common herbs; their apparel, skins; their bed, the earth; their only hope in their arrows, which for want of iron they point with bones. Their common support they have from the chase, women as well as men; for with these the former wander up and down, and crave a portion of the prey. Nor other shelter have they even for their babes, against the violence of tempests and ravening beasts, than to cover them with the branches of trees twisted together; this a reception for the old men, and hither resort the young. Such a condition they judge happier than the painful occupation of cultivating the ground, than the labour of rearing houses than the agitations of hope and fear attending the defense of their own property or the seizing that of others. Secure against the designs of men, secure against the malignity of the Gods, they have accomplished a thing of infinite difficulty; that to them nothing remains even to be wished.VGH

>>226145807Is that how mornings look in the western hemisphere? Because that looks like dusk to me.
Good morning.Went back to the countryside to enjoy the week off. Though I'll probably end up spending it doing stuff to my car and helping out around the house, it's still worth to get out of the city.https://youtu.be/TNV39-UULQE?si=leO2VGnjqkVNyK0M>>226145807Solid pic.

Morning all
>>226147217It was completely sunny not a cloud half an hour ago now its dark outside where you need to turn on the lights inside. In summer its more stable, mostly sunny, this place gets the most sunlight hours per year out of other places in Lithuania. 10/10 tourist spot, architecture, nature and events if you have the cash, 2/10 living and working here year round this is why I can't the fucking place.

gypsy rapefugees from banderaland stabbing locals in Rukla>A young man and his girlfriend were walking home when they were once again accosted by a group of young Roma. The young man’s two sisters and the husband of one of them rushed to his aid. >During the ensuing conflict, this man was stabbed—sustaining three stab wounds: two in the back and one in the lung area. An attempt was also made to stab him in the face, resulting in an injury to his ear. He is undergoing further surgery today, and his condition remains serious. >One of the young women was knocked to the ground and lost consciousness while trying to defend her boyfriend and pull the attackers away; she sustained injuries to her head. Another young woman had a tooth chipped and also suffered facial injuries. >Yet another young man sustained numerous bodily injuries. It is particularly distressing that a young man—a father of two—remains in the hospital in serious condition.
>>226148374This. I don't even listen to the radio while driving because it's too distracting.
>>226148374>>226149091But I love listening to stuff while I drive. Music, podcasts, audiobooks, it's good stuff.
>>226148374Eh, putting on background music and listening to a podcast/taking part in gossip are two different things imo. One's in the background and if anything helps with alleviating a silent, dull work environment, the other one actively distracts you.>>226149091weirdo

Your brain can focus on one thing at a time. If you bombard it with information, it starts shifting attention from one thing to another in quick succession in order to make sense of the input and process it into usable data. Add sources of information, or prolong the process of this constant shifting and your nervous system will get fatigued. If you value your longterm mental health, treat your brain like an old computer, instead of multicore paralel processing gaming pcs. Focusing on one task at a hand not only boosts productivity but also safeguards your mental state. As for music, as long as its not distracting, fighting for attention, it is fine. Lyirics or speech in general is distraction from task at hand.

I spent 10 minutes there and I felt mentally fatigued, I can't imagine how fucked are the people working there every day.

If not physical books, then using actual research papers for research.On that topic, one thing that annoys me is AI content seeping into more casual history and geography related things (even worse when it comes to astrology). I don't mind AI when it comes to aiding in research, but relying on it to make scripts, animations and voiceovers just leads to lesser quality content.

>>226157608Užgavėnės are our 'ween and when I was a kid we went dressing up and asking for candy during that one.

Also, I don't consider myself christian or even religious in any usual sense, so I have my own views on holidays should be.
>>226157608Midsummer's pretty safe from westerner consumerist culture, but it probably helps that most attributes you need for that can be made by yourself or gotten from a local in a marketplace.

Have to turn on my 1000w-2000w electric heater at 0.31 eurocent per kilowatt to heat my shitty fisherman's shack. I won't starve I have money but wasting so much money on increasing entropy of my surroundings hurts the suvalkian part of my blood.
>>226159590I was actually wondering about this, is your shack unique or they on average don't have wooden stoves installed?
>>226159781It's in the registry of cultural heritage. Former owners had a stove but after they died they split the place and dismounted the stove and made a toilet. Turns out if you keep the facade original you can do whatever the fuck inside.
Australians and Kiwis ( we only have 4 hours of "internet time" in our countries fokking shit mate) literally are so bottom of the lowest that they have to chill with baltic people. lmao. song related is what they literally sent to ESC everyyear https://youtu.be/Eo5H62mCIsg?si=AlC2aCsB2wcm1KQ_i swear to God someone should nuke those 2 islands in the middle of fucking nowhere into the orbit
>>226159841>Turns out if you keep the facade original you can do whatever the fuck inside.Riga Old Town moment.Idk, dropping the stove for a toilet really only makes sense if the place was planned more as a summer home then as a permanent residence.
>>226159910fuck off nafri boat refugeeAdolf Hitler did nothing wrong
I was looking at one of the pic related. 20tb for around 600 euros, wd elements was the cheapest option but I had several bad experiences with wd drives (especially elements line up), I was looking at similar seagate offers which were slightly expensive. Should I buy this?
>>226160121Forgot pic
>>226159841Municipality doesn't care much and I can see they stole some money with these shitty internal renovations. Asked for a heat pump citing how fucking cold this winter was and expensive heating, denied. Asked to fix my sink because I am not a plumber, tried everything, tape glue, putting a bowl inside, wrenching the pipes, here is the result. Who the hell puts particle board doors and drawers in a high humidity environment? I will probably buy some plastic shit and glue it in.>>226159929I guess but they split the former apartment in to two so it probably got in the way because it's split right down the middle with the architect living on the other side. But all my neighbors live all year here and there is like I dont want to lie including me about 10 people, the shacks were built big back in ye old days and of course the living space is not big but me being alone enough. Top and bottom right neighbors have stoves, front yard neighbor has a heat pump.
>>226160172I am afraid of the door hinges to not give out from humidity contracting and expanding the ones to the bathroom or the whole damn thing might just fall out

>>226160121>>226160121explain your use case for 20tb of storage
>>226160172>>226160269Yeah, while particle boards are kind of the standard when it comes to IKEA tier furniture, it's certainly a choice to use it in an environment that's hostile to it. Though they probably didn't give it much thought when installing it.I take it there's no way to install a decentralized AHU that'd help with both airflow and humidity levels without it ruining the facade? While I doubt it's of much interest now that you're there for like, two months max, but that's something that can be done by yourself and would cost you like a couple hundred euros max depending on how fancy you want the unit. But it also depends on the wall thickness.I'd just stick a piece of plexiglass in place of the broken particle board btw.
I've gotten completely sick of Bazzite.Will make sure my Windows 7 VM works (since I need that for car diagnostics) on the desktop and then just clone it's SSD onto the laptops one.Manjaro is a far superior system.
>>226160534Gov housing so I don't have to commute 50km everyday from to there. Looked nice at first, has a washing machine, stove you know the basics doesnt look rundown, some furniture others they showed me were basically empty so I said OK and for 95€ per month who cares. Then after some time I started to notice that it was furnished by a drunk Slav 100% and the massive electricity bills from heatings. Honestly I just like to rant a lot but I love shit like this due to how entertaining it is. The bats in my vents were funny but check this out, I mean how, guy didn't have a ruler? I loose some heat because of this. This furnishing is paid by gov funds btw you can probably guess who was pocketing it.
>>226160900Bigger question who even approved such "quality" renovation. Someone had to come in and say yeah this is fine.
>>226158321That sucks....
>>226160581seeding torrents, would be my guess

>>22616090095 per month what about kommunaal? how much in total everything
>>226160581Because buying 4 tb drive would cost like 170 euros, the less tb the more expensive it is, it's not worth it, I have quite a few videos, pictures, anime/movies that I want to keep. I already have about 3 terabytes of data and my existing drives are filling up.>>226161377I used to have one but it became kind of pointless since I upgraded to fast internet, I just use a vpn to torrent nowadays (my previous connection was to slow for it)
>>226161663>>226161663>I already have about 3 terabytes of data and my existing drives are filling uphoarder personality trait
>>2261617823 terabytes is not much considering most tv show episodes these days are anywhere from 1.5 gb to 3-5gb for 4k hrd versions.
>>226160158It depends heavily on your use case. You should consider getting multiple smaller drives instead of having all of your eggs in one basket. It's more expensive but it comes down to how much you value your data. Even if you got 2 drives instead of 1. If I didn't have my second drive, I would've been screwed. Also consider setting up a homelab if you like tinkering. I've found it quite rewarding.
>>226161950*hdr
>>226161950i use stremio and since discovering it i havent had the need to offline any movies or series
>>226161972I agree, I am actually considering getting two of those 20tb drives (for data reduncy). I have experienced a failed drive before so all my other files like documents (mostly smaller files) I've already made back ups.
>>226162077For stuff you don't care, sure, but for some movies/tv shows (very few though) I wanna have my own backup
>>226161549I'd rather just clone my existing Manjaro instance instead of dealing with two different distros again.
>>226162186cachyos is also based on arch like manjarobut its optimized for gaming
>>226162248Yeah, I'd probably go with that if I was doing a fresh install on my main computer. But it's for my laptop that I really only use as a backup or when going on trips. It'd be great to have it be set up the same as my PC.
Good night.Or well, I'm still looking at the cloning progress, but I doubt I'll check here again.https://youtu.be/-HN8680_mtQ

>>22616164520 a month, can be just 15 in summer. Shoots up to 200+ when electric heating is involved so I hope the winter will be mild instead of -30. I have an idea of insulation lation panels on mounted on the window, separating part of the hallway and kitchen with pic related curtains then stuffing that chimney/vent where most of the heat escapes because it was cold like a freezer in thee with towels, then buying a dehumidifier for moisture build up. So that I only heat up the bedroom/living room, bathroom heats up from showering and kitchen/hallway from cooking anyway.

>>226173708They should EW it so that it crashes in seimas during session.

>>226174216Its already a hot war, one sided albeit for now. Not for lkng i reckon because this is just dumb at this point. You cant possibly deny yourself out of such brazen shit.
>>226174424*plausably deny
>>226174065Apparently it rained at night/early morning (maybe just a light drizzle) but so far I have not seen proper rain this month.
>>226152595Well, Kraków definitely has more to do with Lithuania historically but Riga is more magnificent architecturally. Kraków will be a bit warmer and sunnier which might be somehow more pleasant if you're gonna travel in the autumn/winter. Riga has the seaside, so probably a better choice for the summer. Also, Kraków will be probably a bit cheaper than usual this winter because probably some tourists will be scared off because of the recent happenings. Both have trams so that's gonna be new experience to a Lithuanian tourist, anyway (remember that the tram always goes first on the crossroads!)
How do firsties do that so all their cities look equally rich and developed, even if they're supposedly poor, post-industrial, disenfranchised or whatever else.
>>226177098They renovate
>>226177352yeah but i don't know how they can even estimate which place is poor and which one is rich if they all look the same
>>226177727GDP?
>>226177815i don't think your average joe knows what GDP is yet somehow they all know which places are poor and which are rich
>>226177815which city/neighborhood in Australia has the worst reputation and is used as a synonym of a really poor place
>>226177837Oh, that. I guess it's just word of mouth.Like, if somebody asked me about the town next to mine, I'd tell them it's a negro, crime infested dump (that somehow looks, as you say, equally rich to the average town).As to how they make them all look the same, they probably take tax money from rich towns and put them into the poor ones.
>>226177727They just know.Or, you know, reputation of certain districts spreads.
>>226177944>they probably take tax money from rich towns and put them into the poor ones.god i wish it worked like that here as wellbut somehow it only works like this in firstie countriesat least in the third world you can clearly see where rich and where poor people live.
>>226177886I don't know the worst, since we're a big country. I do know Frankston is known for poor, white folk. Used to live there. Not a bad place desu. But still has the crime you'd expect from poor folk. But it's generally theft, rather than violence. Violence occurs but it's usually because the White guy is on drugs, rather than intentional, deliberate violence.
>>226178094>worst place in Australia b likehttps://maps.app.goo.gl/zE5A4qKFaUEpihud6ehhh you firsties, you don't know how good you have it therei hope you pray to Dirawong every day to thank him that he gave you the land of plenty
>>226178180It do be like that.Towns usually become more desolate due to lower population but never rundown.
>>226178430yeah, that was the culture shock i experienced when streetviewing firstielands, just how different the seemingly poor places are from what i know as poverty here. Here if something is poor, you see it at the first glance and you simply know you shouldn't walk on this street and retreat as fast as you canhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/wKQRhxmTtFhT4bup7i'd probably die on the first day in a firstie country because i'd accidentally walk into a district which looks like a disneyland but at the same time has a higher violent crime rate than all of my city
>>226178538even "rich" neighbourhood looks like a shithole in Poland
>>226178707comparing to Australia, surestill, at least here you can see the difference between poor and rich places even if the rich places aren't anything special by western standards either
>>226178997compared to Estonia
>>226178988what do you think of this post?
>>226179017Depends what you mean by 'shithole' then. In Poland our rich neighborhoods are definitely more kitschy and flashy than yours but that's just a cultural difference (Slav vs Finn, catholic vs protestant etc). Infrastructure-wise I think it's pretty much the same, at least that's what I can see in GSV. But yeah, quality of modern architecture in Baltic states is overall higher than here (though again it might be a bias because I'm a fan of Nordic aesthetics).
>>226179046heaps hectic
>>226179126Poland is straight up third world outside major hubs, roads full of potholes etc idk wtf you are doing with the eu money
It requires a lot of reading to keep the sawian safe.
Liquid jew is calling me
>>226179173I think your criticism is exaggerated though I can somehow understand this sentiment because obviously there is a notable difference between rural areas and big cities.As for potholes, we just have a lot of roads because of our population density, and the point is that here gravel roads are just mentally unacceptable, unlike in Scandinavia/Baltics, every road, even a rural one, has to get asphalt (even if it's not really necessary) and asphalt without proper maintenance (which is expensive) gets potholes pretty fast. And per capita we don't even get so much EU money.
>>226179126You Europeans sure do have a lot of these types of buildings, I noticed.I saw them in Battlefield 1 (in the French-town maps) and in Isonzo (in the Austrian-town maps) and now this street view you showed me.That aside, that place still looks better than the third world. Having been to SEA, they really do have shanty towns.
>>226179262also, most Balts' first experience with Poland is the north-eastern part which is the poorest part of the country so it probably gives you a negative impression from the beginning.>>226179281>You Europeans sure do have a lot of these types of buildings, I noticed.so do you, you just call it Victorian architecture, I've seen dozens of such buildings in every Australian city. What's funny is how you don't mind putting 50floor modern glass skyscrapers between them, it looks odd but at the same time interesting. Australia seems to be an outlier in the Anglo word with this policy, you don't really see that in the UK or the US.
>>226179239
>>226179365I can't say I dislike it. It's what makes Australia Australia and not just yet another soulless copy of America.
>>226179365Oh yeah, true. I live outside of the city, so I don't see them around me much.

>>226180591America is the only first world place where we can indeed notice it (and that's why its firstie status is doubtful). Though that only refers to neighborhoods with private houses, their projects actually look really good given for their social status.

Im gonna drink a boatload of chamomile tea, pop D vitamin and watch a movie.
>>226181280Not at far as I'm aware (and I'm not counting Riga Waterfront, that's a pipe dream/writeoff scheme).A shopping mall will get another building, but I don't see anything actually interesting.https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas/ekonomika/10.11.2026-riga-plaza-ipasnieks-jauna-tirdzniecibas-centra-buvnieciba-investes-astonus-miljonus-eiro.a671267/
>>226182126>shopping mallsad, I thought we're already past this phase. Shopping malls should finally be demolished and replaced with modern housing, offices or parks, they're the worst thing that can happen to urbanism.
>>226182188I don't particularly mind them, since in Riga's case at least I feel like there is a solid balance between buildings and greenery. We'd be better off fixing up or demolishing buildings in bad condition before going for the malls.It's interesting to see though how they continue to persist here, when online shopping has all but killed them in the west.
>>226182435>It's interesting to see though how they continue to persist here, when online shopping has all but killed them in the west.Here some get demolished (now the oldest mall in Warsaw is set to demolition and it is kinda a symbolic event, since the mall itself was the symbol of progressing from communism to capitalism and now we're witnessing progress from capitalism to post-capitalism) but some somehow managed to adapt to the changing world, extending their offer to something more than just shopping. But it looks like zoomers don't enjoy spending whole evenings and weekends in malls like millenials did.
Gonna be a shitty adjusting to not drinking at all in this boring shithole for a month until the brain noodles stabilize, don't even have the energy to play my favorite vidya or do my electronics projects after work. Best I managed is to clean my room like in J.B Petersons New York times best seller book "Wash your penis".

>>226182677Yeah, Vilnius and Kaunas are beautiful indeed.
>>226182677Lithuanians have BBC. Big Baltic cock.
it's insane how urbanization accelerated after WW2in pic rel, the green circle is pretty much the whole 'new capital' Lithuania built in the interwar period and it seemed like a giant development project back then, while it's barely to be spotted in the map of the city today
>>226182796More people + urbanization.
>>226182988yeahi stumbled across some book where there was a sentence about someone living in Zaliakalnis and it was described as a "village faaaaar away from the city" meanwhile nowadays it's probably considered a posh district in the city centre
Shopping centres are still pretty popular in Australia. If anything, they close too damn early.
>>226183174In suburbanized countries of the New World they fit in well but they really stand out in European cities, especially that they often occupy precious space in city centres and they look odd between older buildings.

Ok so I spent an hour designing a 3d part, I am on linux and I could not into freecad (what a horrible piece of software), I finally did the part in openscad only to realize that it's only good for 3d printing and not cnc, so it took me another 15 minutes to convert stl to stp format (and had to use freecad to do it!), finally had an stp file, went to a cnc site to get a quote...170 euros for a small part made of steel, it wasn't even that complicated.

>>226183852It's not damage but deregulation of certain brain transmitters. I haven't been mucking a handle of whisky for 20 years so in terms of alcoholics I am a mild case.
>>226197454You know how the head doc found out I have problem? The cashier snitched on me buying two bottles of 1l beer and a can every day. So much for these damn villages, a man can't even drink his sorrows away in peace.

>>226197519A lot of people never learned to mind their own business
>>226197519I have a heard time believing nobody noticed your drunk/hungover ass at work. They were probably not saying anything until it became too hard to ignore. I've worked with alkies before snd you can always tell when they're sauced.
>>226198028Not for me I managed for 6 years, guess my luck ran out.
>>226198166Right. You went to work drunk with a bunch of doctors and no one noticed. You're deluding yourself.
Did Cambridge English exam and got C1. Kind of surprising to me, in school I got B2.But then, it was mostly listening and reading.

>>226198208Not drunk at work through those years because I always got hammered in the evenings, just this once because regardless how functioning you are eventually you will slip up so it was a good wake up call top. Now only I have one option on the questionnaire left.
>>226198028I personally usually can't tell alkies, unless they are really asocial types where you can see visually most of the time. We had a bunch of drinkers in my last workplace, one got fired too eventually, but I wouldn't notice myself and couldn't "smell" it out. I never "had a nose" for it, while my father can tell them easily. But then, he was a heavy drinker in his youth. He's now a teetotaller for like up to 3 decades now, at least since my earliest memories.
>>226198360You need to be REALLY hammered to start smelling like gasoline because it goes through your pores and breath mint won't help. 3 beers or the equivalent in liquor? Not a chance.
>>226198325Yana Kay was pretty big in Latvia for a year or two and I was surprised how huge she was in dnb scene
>>226198398She was very popular in Estonia. Some of the songs are full with Estonian comments
>>226198335Feel for ya. I would probably end up as a drinker too, since I do like how it feels and it makes my anxieties (well, besides bladder anxiety.. fuck I hate that shitn...) go away and become much more social.But I hate the taste (unless it's mixed with soft drinks), hate the hangover and I look up to my father who would disapprove so I barely ever get drunk. Maybe like once or twice a year, often regretting it the next morning
>>226198360Yeah, had an alcoholic father. It used to be a lot more normalized. When I started working at my first job it was completely normal to stay after work to talk with coworkers and do a few shots before going home. And that's after the IT guy got fired for coming back after lunch having drunk a beer. Eventually they starter doing "random" breathalyzer tests.
>>226198513>alcoholLiteral poison. never liked that garbage. Glad I missed that bulletHowever I'm inclined to stimulants. I feel like I have psychological addiction as my internal voice sometimes tells me I should do X or Y.
>>226198589>I am mentally ill, but at least I don't drink alcoholI'm proud of you bud
>>226198589One thing that remotely helped was benzos. Felt like being drunk and finally anxiety free without having to drink that nasty tasting shit. But you know where that leads...
>>226198651You can be a human on stimulants. You are just enhanced. The vision and headspace is clear and straight.Alcohol on the other hand makes you lose all control. It turns you into someone else.

Good afternoon.Today was a productive day, ended up polishing my car's headlights. Still got some yard work to do, but tomorrow I should be able to properly relax.Thanks for reading my blog post.>>226197519I don't think it was his right to disclose that info to you tbdesu, but funny nontheless.
As much as I like the calmness a village in the countryside offers, the prospect of everyone knowing who you are is a massive driver as to why I'll remain in Riga. I like the idea that nobody outside your immediate neighbours knows who you are.
>>226200760Might have been joking but it was spot on.>>226200910Same. I made entire routes where I can avoid people, even know the peak shopping hours to not see much people or god forbid the mayor.
>>226201050Find a local hobo, who can buy you alcohol for a pack of ciggarettes.
>>226201050Now that's some proper White people food.

thoughts on our goyvernment planning to ditch Taiwan and jump into the sheets with China.
>>226205080Cringe, but I dunno, I doubt cooperation with Taiwan would be fruitful.Really, we should coordinate with US and EU on such questions more.
idk why are bebrai so eager to restore relations with china. Is it because of exports? Because they sort of recovered after Taiwan opened embassy in 2021
>>226205125>Really, we should coordinate with US and EU on such questions more.i agree, but anūkas the goober started this whole mess. Still the best thing before and after this whole mess was just to do anything. If we ditch taiwan and hook up with china then we will look like goofballs again on the world stage
>>226205349was just to do nothing*
imports keep increasing year by year & a trade deficit. Not surprising since it's almost the same for every country on earth
>>226205424Is there a way, somewhere, to see this stuff by type of good categories?

>>226205349But we do look irrelevant, most other governments think of this country as little russia (and they are not wrong desu)
>Lithuania’s exports to Taiwan reached 60 million dollars in 2025, up 63 per cent year on year, while Taiwan’s exports to Lithuania grew 13.6 per cent to 105 million dollars.
I have seen quite alot of food products (mostly snacks, sweets and sugary drinks) stocked in maxima that come from China (PRC, not ROC).
>>226205813Really? I dunno about sugar drinks, don't buy them very often. I know there is a lot of Ukrainian candy tho. Although, Roshen brand has a factory here, so maybe it's that.
>>226205813probably bomžpakiai & garlic
>>226205949Oreo biscuits, several fizzy drinks, several kinds of sweets, oh yeah garlic too
I hate myself.How do I stop this?
>>226205813>>226205867They've been doing their "Asian Weeks" for a year at this point, it's the same thing here. With how high the demand is for wasabi and watermelon (or whatever the actual taste was) oreos, those things remain perpetually.They should stack more Tsingtao's when they do the next event, they did it once and that was unironically very solid beer.
>>226206462Surely there's something you can do or an attribute you have that you can be proud of, something to divert to when about to fall into the loop of self hatered. But I'm not a head doctor.
>>226207309I know how to make cheap alcohol but only thing that is good for is saving some money.So I think I have about the same amount to spend as I had in early 2020sWhich is barely anything.Chronic poverty and no friends have seriously affected my well being.

Recovering my photos and files from my phone was an outstanding failure sitting hours at the terminal. Hey at least I learned the importance of backups and how the new encrypted file system works, I was only able to recover .thumbnails that are ant sized and one cringe full photo.
>>226208162>.thumbnails that are ant sizedPerfect for Australians then.
>>226208162If I call VSD and say I will do a Krakow style funny in Kaunas will they be able to recover my files after they confiscate it? Glowniggers must have some special tools for these kinds of situations.
>>226208285Nah man it's like several pixels. I don't think even a AI slop upscaler could help.

What a terrible scope.
Oh so only NOW did they add the trash function in the file manager on Lineage OS 24.0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcmZ6rFZp8I
>>226209294Fuck scopes. Use iron sights.
>>226209354just use cloud and make it autosync your photos to your cloud drivewhen you delete from your device they are still in cloud
>>226209354https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbBtrrQ2HbE>>226209436I like a good scope.An awkwardly placed 1.5x optical sight isn't that.Here's a fun fact, kraut snipers had a shit hand when it came to scopes. It was either this, the ZF39 (the "standard" scope on K98's when it comes to games and movies), or captured Soviet PU scopes.

>>226209618>s1mplethe goat
>>226209354geg at least it wont happen again
>>226206607We have an asian or world foods isle but a lot of chinese products are stacked with other local products, like the oreos I mentioned we've had them since probably last year, same with chinese drinks.I'd also like to add that chinese products are same price or maybe slightly more expensive than local products but for example japanese stuff are a lot more expensive, I saw ramune being sold, at first it was like 3.99 (lol) then after nobody bought them they lowered them to ~2.50 a bottle (still nobody bought them)
>>226211969As much as I want to say the mainlanders are dumping prices so they're prefered to others, it most likely could be just Maxima reps seeing jap or korean products as "more exotic" and pricing them accordingly. South East Asian stuff tends to not be too expensive either.
interesting how there are no-zoning counties in the US where houses and the surroundings indeed look third worldish (because you can just build a shack and live in there)https://maps.app.goo.gl/gmxN1MDhkwGVwaUn7looks like good urban planning is what gives the country the firstie vibe the most out of all things, even more than infrastructure or overall wealth of the citizens
