  1. "Otrok" = "teenager", "young man", no other meanings in Russian. Also, it's an obsolete word never used irl. P.S. Let's omit the etymology of the Ukrainian common treatment "khlopets" and not compare it to the Polish word "chłop".
  2. If measure the intervals twice, i.e. there and back again, the midpoints of two measurements will compensate the measurement error and thus be very precise.
  3. "Testing 1, 2. Testing, 1, 2, 3. Testing 1, 2. Testing 1, 2, 3. Can everyone hear me?" (Actually, "1, 2. 1, 2, 3. 1, 1, 1...")
  4. > noclip Too bad...
  5. No. Try the iron second time. Waiter! An unjuiced orange, please.
  6. They found it. https://topwar-ru.translate.goog/210469-vms-ssha-opublikovali-kadry-s-poiska-oblomkov-kitajskogo-razvedyvatelnogo-ajerostata.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp
  7. Switch the "Active" switch into OFF. What is "s witch"? Sand witch?
  8. The SW definition of "SSTO" Single Stage Too Overkill Single Stage Too Overpowered
  9. Can't embed due to the emoji character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bfmsW0Sgkg
  10. They say, ~60 m in size (200 ft or 20-storey building) https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/downed-chinese-balloon-was-200-feet-tall-us-military-says-rcna69371 *** The HD photos look different, but from the description the second one could be the Korean one. *** If it's ~60 m in diameter, its volume is ~110 000 m3. If it was actually flying at 25..37 km altitude, the air density was 0.005 .. 0.04 kg/m3, so the air mass of this volume is ~ 0.5 .. 4.5 t. The balloon is filled with helium, so the total mass of the balloon is 0.4 .. 4.0 t, closer to the lower value, so about a tonne, maybe two. Minus the envelope mass, the equipment unlikely exceeded several hundred kg.
  11. The youtube videos about mad taxi passengers are actually about inadequate taxi drivers.
  12. Taxion An elementary particle which is like a tachion but taxiing here and there.
  13. It's not the Higgs' shift today, sir. Waiter! Bullsquid eggs, please.
  14. Granted. The scientists found water in an asteroid (JX2). Now they need a balloon to pour it in. I wish the Ancient Egyptians had digital photocameras.
  15. The way I have measured our service building while going there in the mornings. Bricks and windows.
  16. Looks like a bike key for me. Or a clock key. I would think it's from clock, but the hex hole makes to doubt, we had a square..
