Are they similar by any chance?
Not sure where should I put this - it belongs equally to the Russia thread, Space thread and AI thread.
New version of famous Soviet space-themed song
It's Elon Musk!edit: Oh, it's a deep fake. Coincidence would have been more fun.
Yes, it's much less fun if you don't know the song, unfortunately
edit: Oh, it's a deep fake. Coincidence would have been more fun.
The original song is from 1983. It's about cosmonauts who watch the Earth in observation window and see the dreams about home.

Gorkovskaya breweries any good?
Bought an IPA and APA to try out. They were on sale at $2 USD a bottle. Same price as a can of Baltika 5.
Tasted very similar to an NZ IPA but the bottle is bigger and cheaper.
I can't drink a lot if IPA but had it with a meal. 5.9% very similar to a hazy IPA craft beer I can buy locally. Same alcohol percentage.
Having the APA later today

No idea. I rarely drink beer and when I do it's usually Czech, German or Irish.
May be some good Russian ones appeared in last years though.

Seems to be a few Russian microbrews that are good. I think people dislike their own mass produced beer.
Baltika may not have the best reputation in Russia but it compares well with more than a few international brands.
The APA was quite good, liked it more than the IPA.
Imported Euro style lagers are very similar in price to our traditional ales but tend to be stronger. They're all in the $13-$16 USD price range a dozen for the most part.
You can get the cheap beers which are fairly undrinkable (Baltika 9 better option).
Or you can buy two dozen for around $23-26.
They're not very nice and only 4% though.
Imported Euro lager and NZ microbrewery are my go to for beer.

Ivan you should probably want to fix all of the old soviet era stuff before more accidents.
Obviously this was an accident but still I wonder how many other structures were built on permafrost are now in danger.

Yet another bad thing done by the major capitalists. And the Soviets are still to blame? LOOOL.
No. That's what capitalists do: they exploit and they don't care. The infrastructure built by the superior Soviet civilization is still used as their major asset.

Plenty of videos online of decayed Soviet infrastructure and places like Asbest, Norilisk, and that other disaster of a town Karabash iirc.
Also the state of Russian roads, and cities outside the nice parts of St Petersburg and Moscow not so nice.
Russia and America both have very similar problems. The elites don't want to pay tax which is used for infrastructure.
Both have very run down areas and rust belt type areas. My wife's grandmother on her pension gets double the average Russian wage.
Soviets ripped the average Russian off, prices in Russia are about 1/3rd here but the wage is about 1/5th. So the average Russian is still being taken for a ride.
Russian people are great though. Parts of Russia look amazing. I like em.

That's false. This is not a referendum.
The amendments are utterly stupid. Most of them are either duplicating what is already present or are totally useless legally. All the really important are not there.
Hastily introduced electronic voting makes this thing even more sketchy.
Everything that happened this year altogether can be summed up this way: as of 2020, Russian Constitution is as good as a toilet paper.

Russian YouTuber I watch referred to the Russian constitution as the greatest work of fiction ever written.
Remember sci-fi story which I read long ago in my childhood.
Research ship from the Earth arrives to remote planet, where people find remains of civilization. But inhabitants are gone and it's not clear what happened to them. One of cosmonauts gets sick, apparently after an accident with local animal. Later, they find traces of intelligent survivors, but they are hiding from something. Finally they manage to establish a contact and survivors tell them that local scientists were experimenting with a virus and it went out of control. Virus didn't kill the infected but long term effect was that the will of a person is suppressed and he is turned into obedient servant. Local capitalist elite planned to use the virus to control their workers.
People tried to help, but it quickly became apparent that they are also in serious danger, because they were unable to treat infection or prevent its spreading. Most crew members got infected and few people progressed to the stage where they still could do their job, but essentially turned into human robots. They were considering going back and different variants how they could warn people about danger on board and on the planet. It was unclear if they can make it back.
Could be an interesting scenario for a movie.

Red_Elk we're having a beer off tonight. The Russian IPA defeated the NZ craft beer IPA. NZ one over did the hop taste so the Russian one was smoother.
APA went down well.
Having some hipster white stout. It's OK nicer than the NZ hipster IPA. Not a big stout fan.
