How an Ukrainian village armed with two flags defeated two Russian tanks:

1. 4 Russian tanks enter village. Villagers watch carefully from distance. Russians transfer fuel from two of them to other two, get onto those two and leave the two dry tanks in the village.
2. Villagers plant Ukrainian flags on those tanks.

3. The other two tanks return, see tanks with Ukrainian flags and open fire, destroying them completely. Keep driving around looking for their other two tanks.
4. One of the yanks drives onto a bridge with 5 tonnes weight limit. the bridge collapses, tanks falls into the river, everyone inside dies.

5. The other tank keeps driving around, get lost and finally gets stuck in the ditch. Russians get out of it and walk away.

My dad's friend used to live in Magnitogorsk. He was a journalist in the Soviet Union who met and married a Russian woman and they moved there in Gorbatchev times.

He sometimes visited us when returning to Poland, and I recall one story he told us in the 1990s.

🧵

1/x
In the 1990's the life in Russia was even more shit than today, many elderly people were literally starving. So in Magnitogorsk they had some allotments, which were quite big, and grannies and grandpas were cultivating potatoes there and so on.

But as the crime was rampant, 2/x
it was not uncommon that they were coming to their allotment only to find the fruits of their labour stolen - which meant they will be going hungry for the winter.

This happened to one elderly guy one time too much, so he got pissed and decided to mine his allotment. 3/x

I am watching a movie clip about Elon Musk's Tesla Cyber cab and I am going to tell you why it is a completely stupid vehicle.

Yeah, here we go again, I just had a Deja Vu moment:

This guy just don't understand vehicles that are not toys should. 🧵
(1) So, let's start from the beginning: what would you like your Taxi cab to be?
- a boxy, shaped vehicle that is easy to get in and get out, accessible also to elderly and people on wheelchairs, that can take you and your friends or family from A to B? Image
(2) Or a two-seater sporty-looking coupe with gullwing-style doors that even under 1.90 m tall Elon Musk has to duck to get into and where you seat almost at vehicle's floor?

I can't see my elderly dad who is 2m tall and has knee problems, being able to use it. Image

I left UK two years ago today. This is the last picture I have taken on British soil. Why would I take a picture of a van in Dover, the place I drove a van through hundreds of times? Because I was bored and had too much time on my hands

A threat🧵 Image
During my 18 years in Scotland, most of the time I worked as a truck driver. But for some 5 years, during my gap year, through the rest of my studies and for some time after, I worked as a van driver for a company doing time-critical deliveries all over EU and beyond. /1 Image
I drove to over 20 countries in Europe, from France to Norway and from driving all the way somewhere to Croatia to delivering to the top of Stirling castle:

Spoke with one of my friends in Glasgow today.

She's planning to return to Poland. According to her, EU people are moving back to EU left and right as "everything in Britain is collapsing". Some of our common friends are also planning to or have already moved. 1/x
- she says she is the only person in her work who still has access to a dentist, as dentist surgeries are so overwhelmed they refuse to see patients even privately
- she says that the rents in Battlefield, where we both used to live, are so high that people who earned... 2/x
...much more than we used to some years back can't afford to live there
- "Everything is so bloody expensive that even though I make 60 000 in my current job I feel just as when I was making less than 35 000 in the last one" she said.

Someone reminded me of that thread today, so ill tell you something.

I live in Finland now. Some time ago I left my job hoping to get another one. It didn't worked out and I became unemployed.

(A secondary thread).
After looking for a job for some time I went to local equivalent of Job Centre as I found online that unemployed people might get free language courses. 1/
The lady gave me proper bollocking for not claiming my job seekers allowance. I told her it must be mistake, how can I be entitled to job seekers allowance if it was me who quit a job and if I haven't worked in Finland even one full year yet. 2/

An interesting discussion is brewing up between Poland and Ukraine.

We all want Ukraine wants to join Europe in all ways possible. So some years ago they started building a standard gauge railway. It was supposed to reach Lviv by last year.



(1)strefabiznesu.pl/ukraina-buduje…
Now, the new idea of Ukrainian minister of agriculture is for Poland to build a Russian gauge railway from Ukrainian border to ports in Gdańsk, as well as in Klaipeda in Lithuania.



(2)pb.pl/ukraina-chce-s…
Minister Solski argues that Ukraine has more grain-carrying rail cars than all of Europe combined, so it would make the large scale transport easier - the issue here is not just a rail gauge but loading gauge too: Russian-standard rail vehicles are taller and wider, so... (3)
