You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

This one is kind of hilarious. They call it a multi-family apartment, but all the people living there seem to be single. So roommates. A completely normal thing in cities like New York, San Francisco or Vancouver today. It would be unusual for young professionals to share an apartment with a little old lady, but sharing an apartment with strangers is very common. The kitchen is a little primitive. But on the other hand each person gets a pretty large bedroom/sitting room of their own.

I think they just messed up the title, probably meant 'multi-family development' or 'multi-family residential building'; which just means apartments. Because yeah it's not that weird to have roommates, and calling that "multi-family" is odd.

A guess, so I'm probably wildly wrong....

I think it's a Naval system, and the launcher and missiles are stored vertically, so it needs some sort of mechanism that orientates the missile for firing.

It probably copies some ancient US design... more modern poo poo seems to all be mounted on rack systems for quick rearmament as a unit, rather than individual missiles.

I think you're right it's just that why are they stored upside down? Seems like it would be quicker and easier to orient them if they were pointing up to begin with.

Also the image of them misfiring somehow and hitting the boat itself is pretty funny.

It looks like M11 Storm, which is normally pointed as you would expect it to be. Do not underestimate the ability to fire straight down, though, such surprising tactics can be decisive in anti-submarine warfare.

It's a pretty forward thinking move on their part imo - why let a misfire fly off and blow up something important like a fishing vessel when you can safely contain accidents right aboard the ship!

The video shows young people, but communal flats, kommunalki, were a much more depressing thing usually. Often it was literally three generations of five families sharing a 5-rooms flat. One kitchen, one toilet, very narrow corridors, one phone number, and practically no sound isolation. Everyone knew everything about each other, and privacy was basically non-existent.
