And, highly possible, my so liberal and humanity-filled brain will be well mixed with my not so pleasant looking sh*t and that mix will be fried well with kerosene flames, if the guy in that building is lucky one.

And even if the guy is not so lucky, I would prefer to face (maybe, sometime in future) with judges of Hague tribunal rather than face with field tribunal of my own army. ;)


And I'm currently electronics engineer, head of R&D department of small company manufacturing some aftermarket automotive electronics. And, as I said above, reserve officer of tank forces... ;)

Believe me, I would always prefer to visit Poland as electronics engineer on a car... ;)

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]


Well, I'm officer (in reserve) of Russian Army, tank forces.

Imagine that I'm tank commander and hear the order radioed to me - "red brick building, second right from the road, ATM launcher inside, destroy"...

Here is two options of what I will do...

1. I'll say "Sorry, Sir, I cannot see through walls, there may be civilians inside as well. Think what tribunal in Hague would say..."

2. Quickly select HE shell on loading system (if not loaded already), target well and happily press the trigger, praying that the guy in that building didn't manage to press their first.

Try to imagine, which option I will select in real life....

What will happen if I will say "Yes"? What differences we'll observe if I will say "No"?

And, by the way, Polish justice already said their word... So, nothing more to discuss here.


Sounds to me similar to phrase "I hate racism and nigg@s"... ;)

You think about prosecuting the ones who must follow orders under fear of another prosecution, but what about ones who issued that orders?

From the same source...

On 31 August 1999, at 20:00 local time, a powerful explosion took place in a busy Moscow shopping center. One person was killed and 40 others injured.

On 4 September 1999, at 22:00, a car bomb detonated outside a five story apartment building in the city of Buynaksk. The building was housing Russian border guard soldiers and their families. 64 people were killed and 133 were injured in the explosion.

On 9 September 1999, shortly after midnight local time, at 20:00 GMT, 300 to 400 kg of explosives detonated on the ground floor of an apartment building in south-east Moscow (19 Guryanova Street). The nine-story building was destroyed, killing 94 people inside and injuring 249 others. 15 nearby buildings were also damaged.

On 13 September 1999, at 5:00 a.m., a large bomb exploded in a basement of an apartment block on Kashirskoye Highway in southern Moscow, about 6 km from the place of the last attack. 118 people died and 200 were injured.

A truck bomb exploded on 16 September 1999, outside a nine-story apartment complex in the southern Russian city of Volgodonsk, killing 17 people and injuring 69.

Compare the dates, of course...

In relation to chechens, I easily believe that someone whispered them "you have a chance to survive if you will say that you was forced to sign this, but definitely no chances if you will confirm this"...

And, of course, most "crimes against chechens" have a very similar level of documentation. They often solve their inter-clan problems by killing someone, and then show the photos of dead body to the world and say "look what russians do..." One shot, two bunnies hunted...

Private message is correct place for something personal. You replied in public forum instead, so be prepared for comments.


If there is criminals, can you give an examples of their crimes? Not the common words, but places and dates. I can look what is available in Russian speaking sources in Internet about this. But a bit later - leaving home tomorrow for a 3 week business trip and have no time right now.

I hope well documented personal participation of Zakayev in murder of two orthodox priests in 1996 (definitely, not armed forces) is enough to start thinking that something is wrong?

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]


You simply don't know how to cook them. ;)

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]

Lots of people love to pick mushrooms in Russia. Usually it looks like as a family event. But, unfortunately, not so many young people who grown in cities really know some poisonous mushrooms that is similar to edible ones. So, usually all what was picked shown to some "babushka" later, and often half of all what was picked goes to waste at once. ;)

We had some prety large military range closed for general public near place where I live before. We used to know a nice hidden hole in the fence and where guard usually reside, so we picked lots of mushrooms there. ;) Once was caught by guard, it looked in our bags with some mushrooms, laughed and just told us to avoid to pick or step to any unfamiliar items that may be on the ground. We talked little bit, and it turned out that they guarding mostly moving training targets installations after some gypsies attempted to stole copper wiring and electric motors and sell copper to local scrap metal dealers.

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]

Personally, I do not know anyone of Polish decent in eastern part of Russia (i.e. Siberia and Far East). One of two families in Moscow that is known to me use Polish on a family level sometimes, kids are fluent in English as well, another one is looks pretty much like typical russian family, never heard them speaking Polish on a public, but they often visit their Polish relatives.

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]


Land is not necessarily should be grass covered to support life. Look how Chukchas lived for centuries. ;) But, really, it is all about square kilometers per person to survive (just above absolute minimum for survival).


Poland is large enough. A number of tribes totalled less than 50000 each have much more reasons to fear it.

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]

Will not comment other stuff but...


It is suitable for living right now. Provided you are ready to change your life style. ;) And there is square kilometers of land necessary to support life of one person, instead of just square meters in a more warm and fertile places. If it will be slightly warmer, that lands may support more people, but density of self-sufficient population there never be even remotely comparable to ones in India or southern China. Even to Western/Central Europe..

So, just counting of square kilometers is totally dumb idea. Try to count people that land can feed (guaranteed) - result will be much more realistic.

Small caucasian tribes fear that they will be finally dissolved in Russian ethnos... Well, more than real perspective (and, sooner or later, it will..). But many of them marrying within clans that already have too much common predecessors. Not good for their gene pool, of course.

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]


Not the same, but very similar. Smaller nation in such situation is usually much more aggressive in attempts to keep the differences intact and show to everyone that they are different, very different. ;) Look at Ukraine for example, they even replaced russian-like word "vertolit" with a english "helicopter" in their own language... ;)

Life / Languages understandable by Poles? [38]


Uroda is sounds very similar to a russian word that mean ugly creature, or mutant of some sort. ;) blad sounds very similar to whore, though russians still use this word to express their feelings if something goes wrong (in ancient times meaning was the same as in modern Polish, of course). ;)

Life / Languages understandable by Poles? [38]

Hm, be careful with words uroda and błąd when talking to Russian girl as well. ;)

Life / Languages understandable by Poles? [38]

Some practice (to abstract of how it is writen and concentrate on how it sounds) and over 60% of Polish speech become understandable to Russian. If the one know Ukrainian or Belarussian somewhat - even more, there is still some roots in use that was out of use in Russian long time ago. From my own experience - if Pole and Russian speak not so fast, choose simple words, and always ready to rephrase with synonims - it is pretty easy to understand each other. But again, there is some words that sounds similar but may have opposite meaning.

Lithuanian - quite difficult to understand for Russian, I would say <5% of words.

Ukrainian (especially subset that is in use on East and so much hated by Bandera fans) - no real problems for Russian, some people think that it is just malorossian dialect, with a lot of archaisms still in use. ;)

Try to get permission for "naturals parade" somewhere. Most likely, this request will be declined "due to provocation and homophobic nature, to protect rights of minorities". As to gay parade - usually no problem (not in Moscow, though).

Hm. If wide-minded YOU do not care about survival of your genes in future generations, others will be very glad to occupy freed space. ;) The ones who poke right hole have more chances to do so. ;) Your sisters will be a nice addition to collection of some arab guy.

And, of course, i'm already immune to words "rigid", "limited" and so on.

Feel free to do anything you like, poke any hole of any creature you like. But if this will have any relation to my descendants - beware.

Hm. I still asking myself, WHY people should LOVE someone just because he poking a wrong hole? ;)

By the way, gays that actively promote their "life style" around and trying to recruit as many as possible still bisexual dumbasses to join them is a real threat for everyone - they lessen everyone's chances to ever see their grandsons. So, some reasonable level of homofobia is a healthy thing from evolutionary point of view, IMHO.

1. It seems too uniformly distributed for a few flames that may be somewhere around.
2. Most flammable thing should be remaining fuel, but when I seen burning kerosene, it either burned with no smoke at all, either give blask smoke. Most plastics also give carbon-rich blask smoke when burning. On a video we see something white...

Your comments on this?

Been in similar situation many times, when lived few km NW from Sheremetyevo airport and had to drive there from Moscow at evenings. Clear air, and, suddenly, visibility drops to 300-500m.

Once had so dense fog in a darkness, so I (was a passenger that time) was forced to lower window glass and watch for edge of road while driver watched for a taillights of a car that was in front of us (we all drive about 3-5 km/h). Due to headlights light diffused in a fog, driver was unable to see road in front of them, it looked like a milk with two faint red lights in them.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


Believe me, it cannot be considered reasonable alternative, at least in foreseeable future. Are you ready to pay, say, $12 per kw/h? Are you ready to live near semiconductor factory with some really not nice substances used in process (like arsine, phosphine)?

I think that subcritical reactors will be safe enough even for paranoids. ;) Especially underground variants with 100-150m of natural radiation shield above it. ;) 20-40 years of operation on a single fuel load, then 100-150 years of "cooling" to let highly active nucleides to decay, then spent fuel removal and reprocessing.

If we talking about thorium fuel cycle, we can even afford to use fresh thorium each time and just store spent fuel in a safe place (some orbit out of ecliptic plane may be such safe place - for millions of years if necessary, and relatively accessible if humans will ever need to extract something valuable from those spent fuel).

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


Yeah. Even night sky deliver some energy. Starlight, sunlight dispersed on a cosmic dust.... But it is really tiny.

There is new generation of solar cells that can use much wider spectrum (wavelengths) compared to ordinary silicon solar cells. They may get some reasonable amount (not very big though) even during cloudy day. But it is EXPENSIVE.

I visited photovoltatic show in Taipei last October... Yes, there is lots of new things, but many of them is simply not suitable for use in a climate of Poland/Russia.

And, in addition - solar panels also occupy some space. Don't forget to include land lease to cost of energy.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


Now is 02:33 in Moscow. Please, show me where I can get some solar energy? I need it badly right now. ;)

Seriously - it may be good complement to conventional power plants in dry deserts relatively close to equator. And only during the day. Otherwise you need _LARGE_ banks of batteries (lots of lead to produce it, and you'll need to reprocess it every 4-5 years). Good quality solar panels will last 25-35 years, then you'll need to expand array to compensate for power loss or replace it at once.

Try to calculate energy balance. Complete balance, from sand as source of silicon and some lead ores to ready panels and batteries. It will be not so good. Then add processing costs. Calculate total cost of kw/h... Compare with your current bills...

Yes, there is a lots of places where it will be acceptable (distant areas with small populations and without energy-hungry factories in a climate with plenty of sunlight). Solar energy may significantly rise living standards there. Buit it is not a universal panacea, and never will be...

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

Yeah... But how much taxpayers money was spent to various grants, programs and donations?

Another thing to remember - blackouts in California. Local "green" lobby almost succeeded in destroying normal business activity there (as was told by friend of mine who lived there). Their employer was forced to install a number of industrial UPS systems (4 tons of lead acid batteries just at one location where he worked, lots of $ already spent and there will be problems in nearest 3 years to dispose replaced bateries) and few diesel-generators to protect sensitive processes from those blackouts.

But it all was for a good thing. To protect enviroinment. New coal power plants is prohibited - they is harmful. New nuclear power plants is prohibited - they is dangerous. Lion share of energy had to be imported from nearby states (looks like there is another environment and coal plant in Arizona is not harmful at all), so grid collapsed.


Yeah. Actually a bit cheaper. I recently purchased good 70W solar panel to build solar-powered telemetry system, consisting of small VHF radio, special telemetry controller with modem and battery charge circuits (my old project that was put in small-scale production), solar panel, SLA battery. That panel with 10 years warranty (until 10% power drop) cost me about $520 after all taxes. In a climate of central Russia I plan to have average output about 22-25W during daylight hours (actually close to 50W in a summer sunny day and just a couple of watts in a cloudy day). I _hope_ that it will keep 26Ah SLA battery reasonably good charged to power my electronics, if someone will manage to remove snow from panel at winter. Will know for sure after a first year (controller will log and transmit their power system statistics as well).

So, close to $600 for solar panel and lead-acid battery to keep some relatively low-power equipment running on solar energy.

There is common thing between "green" freaks - once they beleived in something, they not spending their time to research consequences, they starting their missionary job immediately. ;)

Well. Lead is poisonous. "Green" freaks was unable to pass by... Their RoHS initiative already passed into law. Now electronics manufacturers cannot use any lead-containing solders or components. But, unfortunately, pure tin is not usable as solder, it produces microscopis whiskers that cause short circuits on PCBs and at low temperatures slowly transforms to gray powderish substance. So, lead-free replacements of well proven 63Sn36Pb eutectic alloy now in use - and it is MORE TOXIC than original one due to added Sb, Cd, etc... In addition, higher melting temperatures and not so good adhesion of lead-free solders create a lots of problems to manufacturers and shorten average life of electronics (creating additional waste) - but who cares? They won their battle with lead, they really happy!

Another beloved toy of freaks is "carbon footprint".. Will not comment on this...

Now, when I heard that someone tries to say that "everyone should do at least something to protect environment", I always want to say that safest thing that he/she can do is to kill yourself. ;) This for sure will not create any additional harm to environment, will save a lot of resources, and specialists whose work is to determine safety of something will work under slightly lower pressure from crowds that didn't understand what they really want to do. ;)
