@PawelK Ukraine is brutal.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yepp.
@PawelK That's a difficult choice.
I judge countries based on small arms among other things.
@PawelK What is sk? Slovakia?
@AmpBenzScientist
Yep. Reasonably priced.
@PawelK Romania is allegedly part of where my ancestry is from. I will Czech into it but Poland seems overly policed. One of the last things I heard of from Russia was people stealing a goose from a zoo and feeding it by a beach. Russian Police said they were drunk.
@AmpBenzScientist
Muhaha.
@AmpBenzScientist
Eventually ee.
@AmpBenzScientist
Offtopic. You saw news from Minsk?
@PawelK No I haven't but I will look into it.
@PawelK Hijacked airplane forced to land in Belarus and civilian deaths from the bomb threat were mitigated by special force operatives.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yep. Only 1 victim. Chief editor of online pro opposition newspaper.
@PawelK I once asked a Federal Agent why Russia was so sloppy now. He bitterly mentioned that it's easier not to clean up. Also what can we do about it? I think there's more going on. He wouldn't mention the Ruskie Mafia presence (American RM -> Moscow & Peter RM, trained by KGB and CIA) and later Russia is cracking down hard on them.
@AmpBenzScientist
Feels bit like dragon problem from lems book. You kill small dragon, it gets replaced by bigger dragon.
@PawelK They are more like a Dragon that understands their place in society and relationships with regular people.
@PawelK They were once threatened by a drug cartel. They effectively told them ihi nahqui. Cartel sent around 60 Mercenaries to take over. No bodies, no shell casings and no blood were found.
@PawelK The ones in the US deep south are a completely different breed of efficient and effective. These are the formerly CIA trained ones.
@AmpBenzScientist
Ahh these ones I heard of.
@PawelK We are in the same area. My state has a militia that might be the largest in the world. Many former special operators are in it.
@AmpBenzScientist
Hmm. Ill have to ponder this.
@PawelK Historically we are the ones who never surrendered. Survival of the fittest and centuries of warfare. It's in our blood.
@AmpBenzScientist
Nihao ma?
@AmpBenzScientist
Or kol ha kavod?
@AmpBenzScientist
That sounds like a riddle now.
@PawelK It's Georgia.
@AmpBenzScientist
I hope not georgia, us.
@AmpBenzScientist
Or is it?
@PawelK It is Georgia, USA. The militia is setup as a last resort and massive aid supply for the homeland.
@AmpBenzScientist
We could surely use their hand here. Oh wait. Its already across the fence. Heh.
@AmpBenzScientist @PawelK regular Georgia I think has got the mail from Vladimir, and will do as they're told.
@Sophistifunk
Are they not red state?
@Sophistifunk
Or just rino?
@Sophistifunk @PawelK They also didn't get pushed into the ocean before being defeated.
@AmpBenzScientist
Ill need to meet You one day.
@PawelK Hopefully we will meet one day. How is employment over there?
@AmpBenzScientist
I dont know. Im on pension. But job market looks healthy. Newspapers say so.
@PawelK Our minimum wage was just raised to $15 an hour. My last job was making $10 an hour.
@AmpBenzScientist
Easypeasy at buck 10. Buck 15 doable.
@AmpBenzScientist
Not to be too proud but some ads if i calc right offer even close to buck 20 but they are rare. Plus there is no costs.
@PawelK Working over there would be quite odd. I'm considering just trying to get a decent paying job and really starting a life of my own.
@PawelK Belarus is always doing impressive things. Was it related to the Healthcare System attack?
@AmpBenzScientist
Better.
@PawelK It is quite similar in theory to how we treat asbestos in the US. If epoxy resin was used to impregnate and coat it, it doesn't have to be removed as long as the epoxy is in good condition. The same could be done with Pripyat and a special epoxy blend. Carbon and Lead would effectively block the radiation from the surfaces. There is a large communication area with a working Nuclear Power Plant a few Km away.
@AmpBenzScientist
Maybe maybe.
@PawelK Pripyat is an old model that could be a new model for the world. Applied Science could repopulate the city. The area around the city would be the real problem.
@AmpBenzScientist
City could be rebuilt but yes wildlife is contaminated.
@PawelK That's part of the solution. Cooper Sulfate is a biocide. Trees and other small plants can be used to remove radiation from the soil over time. The Elephant's foot and the old hospital are worrisome. The sub basement had a corridor directly to Chernobyl. This is where the workers were decontaminated. Very hot zone.
@AmpBenzScientist
Shit you know much more than me.
@PawelK My father worked at a Nuclear Power Facility and rewired the control center. He had a picture of him holding a component that was the fail safe. He was there when the radiation made its way into the US. It caused some alarm at first because everything was reading above average.
@AmpBenzScientist
Ukraines tough. Unstable. Fly over here to pl cz or sk or ro.
