This is just like WW2. Half your visitors get shower curtains, the other half get curtain rods. When the man in the front of you dies you move into his room and take his curtain.

Daily Mail posted:

Winter Olympics are traditionally snowy. And Russian winters are famously cold. Other than in the sub-tropical ‘Summer Capital’ of Sochi, that is — a Black Sea resort on the same latitude as Nice with a palm-fringed sea front and zero chance of a white-out.

Which is why all the outdoor alpine action will take place 40 miles away, in two vast, purpose-built resorts high in the Caucasus Mountains.

Even there, snow is not guaranteed — this time last year, World Cup snowboard and ski events were cancelled due to lack of snow. And it rained on the luge event, leaving the slopes more brown than white.

To make matters worse, unseasonably warm weather is forecast during the games, but the Russians claim to be ready.

They’ve been stockpiling snow for two years — 25 million cubic feet (enough to cover Berkshire) under insulated blankets — just in case. ‘Snow gutters’ can transport extra snow down from the chilly mountaintops to the warmer slopes down below. And if all else fails, more than 500 snow cannons are poised to churn out the artificial variety. So by hook or by crook (of which there are many), it’ll be all white on the night

Do not worry comrade, we are mincing up the locals and constructor workers as we speak.
Once the abestos arrives, we mix it in, spread it all over, kill the spreaders, and then we have the real snow back at my place, if you know what I mean da.

'cause it doesn't compute. :psyduck:

Most of the space race was the US competing against itself: russia just had a kickass spy program and stole our poo poo. Which we then looked at, said 'gently caress, the russians are catching up!' and proceeded to then outdo ourselves.
