Fun fact: the more booze you drink the shorter you become
“Alcoholism is a way to degradation of personality”
Wasn’t it Lenin who banned vodka, then Stalin started a state run vodka company after he took over? Or did Lenin just reinforce the ban?
Tsar Nicholas ordered prohibition in 1914. RSFSR retained it after revolution until it was abolished in 1925.
the royal family owned all the vodka companies/manufacturing before the revolution. it’s always been a tool to fill state coffers
Well, he was inbred so it’s almost understandable
It’s not like Prince Philip tried to ban tea in England. He was probably as inbred as they come and all he did was say a bunch of racist shit and then take a couple steps out of the limelight while gradually becoming half vampire half zombie
Not exactly a role model, but still…
He’s only 37 years old in that picture.
Yeah, vodka has such a long and rich history of good deeds in Russia. What a fool this fella is
His family got rich of the vodka since they basically had the monopoly on the vodka trade, they earned a shit ton of money of Russian state liquor. And by keeping the populace in a constant drunk state it made sure they stayed in power. Kinda ironic that his alcohol ban probably started political unrest and eventually the fall of the empire.
And by keeping the populace in a constant drunk state it made sure they stayed in power.
It’s a good thing we don’t do that anymore.
Sarcasm, I’m being sarcastic everyone
Ah yes, all Russians are brainwashed
- a brainwashed subject of Western genocidal dictatorships with a democracy mask
But even after the fall the ban was kept in place.
Which Tsar is this?
The last one
I wonder why 🤔
Nicholas II
Could you imagine the power of a sober Russia? It would be amazing. I once hung out with some Russians on the Chinese border, I had to quit drinking after a third of a fifth. They had 2 each, maybe more, was hard to function on that much vodka.
I drank with Russians in Korea. The beer bottles and vodka bottles were the same size, say 300 or 350ml.
I drank beer. They drank vodka.
For every bottle of beer I drank, they each drank a bottle of vodka.
They drank me under the table.
They did have that delightful yellow skin tone.
There was a president who tried to ban bikinis in Brazil
and this is why we’ll never be able to ban guns in America
In Siberia they actually traditionally dried fly agaric (amanita muscaria) mushrooms. Flying reindeers are a thing, they always ate the mushrooms and got high af, but without any headaches the next day.
Vodka replaced the mushrooms, as its easy to store I guess. It was sold to them.
I melted my plastic shower curtains in the dryer.
What’s worse?
You both have a lot to think about
Most plastic doesn’t melt below the boiling point of water. It’s not intuitive that a dryer can get a lot hotter than that.
Only babies who don’t even know what vodka is would make his mistake.
Why isn’t it intuitive that a device designed to evaporate water quickly gets hotter than the boiling point of water
Because it is intuitive that water doesn’t need to hit boiling point to dry off.
But when it doesn’t it takes a long ass time to dry, else we’d just line fry instead

Yes, but you seem to be forgetting that we’re talking about the difference between room temperature and melting plastic. That’s hundreds of degrees F. Even twenty degrees makes a substantial difference for drying water.
It’s fully within reason to expect a dryer to be less hot than melting plastic unless it’s a gas dryer. Even then, many clothes are literally made of plastic. Nylon? Radon? Plastic. It’s totally reasonable to expect a dryer to not melt typical kinds of clothes. (though at least nylon’s melting point is significantly higher than some other kinds of plastic)
And you’re forgetting that water needs huge amounts of heat to evaporate. The heat capacity of plastic is rather small in comparison, so a machine capable of quickly vaporizing water also has the power to melt crappy thin plastic.
Modern dryers usually have a safety thermostat, but lint buildup is still a big fire hazard, so there are obviously temperatures in significant excess of boiling here.
How… did they even end up anywhere near the laundry machines in the first place?
I though it was fine.
It wasn’t…
What other big ideas have you had 😏
Was this your biggest mistake? Or…?
I tried to power a PS3 controller with raw power from a cut outlet cord to USB.
A pop was heard.
Close in second: The guy who tried to ban alcohol in America
It was actually a girl smh.
And youtube tried to ban adblockers….
Apt comparison. If anybody has any ways to get around YouTube ads on a Roku, I’d love to hear them lol. My pi hole can’t handle it since they come from the same domain as the video.
I just got around it by not using roku. Just get a cheap used laptop somewhere and plug it into your TV. It doesn’t even need to have a working screen. For the remote I just use my phone and the Unified Remote app. That app let’s you use your phone as an input device for any computer on the same network that has the client software installed. Play Store App Link
unified remote is great, I’ve been using Linux mint for a while and kde connect serves me well too for similar purposes. I basically have the setup you describe, an old inherited shitty laptop with mint and it’s just the stationary media center that I pirate everything with. Not exactly related but I used to use Pushbullet a lot too, there are some redundant overlaps with these apps.
oh and edit I discovered kde connect because my cheap Bluetooth keyboard shit the bed one day lol, and I use a USB Xbox controller I found in a free pile as the mouse, I even custom assigned one button to put my admin password for the terminal with antimicro. yarr
I’ve been considering just patching a spare laptop to my TV and just streaming it that way. There are remote control devices and controllers you can attach to laptops.
I’ve connect my old android phone full of pirated streaming software to the tv, works a charm. You can even cast it and use the phone as a remote.
Did you take my cows?
I take no cows but Azamat Bagatov looks very suspicious.
And now there are hundreds of people breeding cobras…
That’s like trying to prohibit alcohol in the United States
