MONKEY TRASH!
Jan 8, 2006

Got in a Lyft car last night (ridesharing), and our Russian/Armenian driver got to talking about Putin and the mafia. He borrowed my phone to show me this--

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws7wivahqg4

Putin & his convoy driving by, a fairly typical event. Not sure what the gunfire was, though...

E: here it is happening again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsPO_l2UagU

According to the first video's description it's not Putin's convoy, but everyone's favourite goony looking warlord - Ramzan Kadyrov. This guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuwwCsUyheg

Ah, it did seem a little different from Putin's particular brand of macho tackiness. Kadyrov is my new favorite warlord though, thanks for that.

yeah because lots of "space interested" guys will jump on how thing that flew once is literal saviour of space kind so you basically get spaceflight equivalent of flat earth society posts about lack of sonic booms in atmosphere between equator and geographic poles being a proof of earth being flat, with the difference being in existence of statistically insignificant experimental basis for the matter

The first and only flight of Buran took place in dying days of USSR when money was extremely tight and it was only downhill from there, with people waiting in bread lines and whatnot.

The Buran was a classic example of "wrong place, wrong time."

Have some awesome Russian music. Having immigrated from the soviet union to north america in 1990, I heard these all the time from my family but never met anyone here who knew about them.

This first one is from a comedy about jewel thieves who use an unknowing patsy to smuggle diamonds by wrapping them in his plastic cast. The song is about a bunch of rabbits in a forest who give no fucks about wolves and smoke "magic grass".

There was a lifesize Buran mockup outside the Gorky Park, next to the Moskva river. It was apparently moved because nobody cared much. Here's a photo I got of it in 2012:

I thought you were referring to the vigilante bus drivers who ram assholes that cut in front of them. They usually get away with it too, because they act within their rights. Funny stuff, but still, they endanger people to make a point.

It's like a lesser evil in that case, lots of scumbags on russian (I believe in some other countries it's a thing too) roads who endanger people more cutting in front of others' cars.
