  • Funny thing is, it’s definitely real as it’s on a public display, but nobody knows who built it and, most importantly, why they built it. There are numerous equally plausible yet contradicting legends, some people tried to investigate but results were inconclusive, possibly because there were multiple built completely independently, or because it was a top secret project and intelligence planted red herrings. Maybe some vodka drinking took place. But, one thing that is common amongst most legends is that it couldn’t steer for shit, hence why it was scrapped.

    Yeah, pretty much. Moskal in Russian means a resident of Moscow, with a slight derogatory undertone where -al ending which is common with a few words meaning a bunch of bad/insignificant things, like паль, шваль, падаль. To get the proper meaning of it one has to dive like 500 years into history of ancient Rus with Moscow and Kiyv dutchies, so it doesn’t work that well. Kacap I’m not sure, wiki says it comes from either Ukrainian for goat or asshole, or Arabic for butcher, which, tbh, sounds kinda badass. Ruzki is like mincing of “ruski”, which is literally how we call ourself, and “ruzzian” instead of “russian”, but it sounds like a clumsy attempt to be offensive tbh. If you want to offend a slav just call him a “pidor”, which is what both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers actually use on frontline use to call enemies. It’s means “gay”, but, like, not all gays are pidors, but all pidors are definitely gay as well as being complete motherfuckers, that kind of vibe.













  • I just recorded myself typing it a dozen of times, and it always goes as:

    F - Left index U - Right middle N - Right index C - Left index T - Left middle I - Right middle O - Right ring N - Right index

    I usually generally follow zones while typing, but for frequent words like this I tend to break it, which mostly make sense, like using middle finger for U to free index finger for N, and then moving it one over for a quick IO without lifting the index from N), but then that CT thing is a decades-long ingrained thing that I didn’t even realize how weird it was until I looked closely at it. It reminds me of that thing that bothers me on my other kb which is ortholinear and I always struggle in games with it because I can’t press 2 while holding Shift and W at the same time. On normal keyboards I use ring fingers and slightly twist my wrist clockwise, but on ortholinear it’s not there, and it’s actually easier to use index finger and twist the other way, or roll middle over without lifting, but it’s very hard to break that habit.
