My grandma is still living in Lithuania, and as I've heard she's been told multiple times to prepare canned food for an all out war. If I remember correctly the government told her to keep at least a months worth of food and water In case it gets rough.

are those triangle bollards made of steel or concrete? they kinda look like mines

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 126 points 3 weeks ago

They're not yours, they're Lithuania's.

That gave me a good laugh, my grandfather would most definitely refer to this as a "Groaner".

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 weeks ago

That's funny because that's what I call your grandfather

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Well he's gone now but like him and my dad, I too groan often lol.

[-] BilliamBoberts@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Well, a few of mine have gone missing, and they look awfully similar to the one's Lithuania's got 🤔

Not hard to find when it's hogging so much space at the top of the map

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They should share some of that space. Maybe with the Baltics or Finland?

Concrete is pretty much always reinforced with steel rebar.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago

Yep! Concrete is great in compression shit in tension. Steel is great in tension and good in compression but expensive af (reletivly). So u can achieve material properties better than steel or concrete alone at a very efficient price by combining them.

One of god's gifts to man was giving us concrete and steel with the same thermal expansion properties.

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Vilnius is fucking amazing. I really enjoyed my visit to the three Baltic nations recently. I'm glad I got there before all this started kicking off.

Coincidentally, I hope, several places I've visited in the last 15-20 years have become sketchy to travel to for one reason or another within a year or two after my visit. Maybe I should just stay home for the good of the world.

[-] nemno@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, totally agree. Was in Vilnius some years ago and loved everything about it!

I'd replace the asphalt with explosives, so that Putler doesn't even think about it...

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Is there is a big round boulder nearby that I can push up that?
