In 1979, the Soviet Union made walking giants.. This particular type, called ЭШ 6.5/45, was made in the former Soviet Union around 1979. Unlike Boston Dynamics' robots, it walks very slowly. This is because it weighs 280 metric tons, or about 617,294 pounds. And to answer the question "why...

Meh, the Bucyrus-Erie 4250W (Big Muskie) weighed in at 12,200 tonnes. A mere 45 times bigger than this thing.

In 1979, Soviet engineers debuted a mechanical titan called the ESH 6.5/45. Weighing 280 tons, it was too heavy for wheels or tracks, which would have seen it sink into the soft earth of Russian mines. Instead, they taught it to walk. Using two massive steel "shoes," the machine would lift its entire body, shift forward, and set itself down. Inside the cockpit, operators added a touch of home with lace curtains, creating a surreal contrast between domestic life and a massive walking monster.

MRTRUTHBOMB SANDY HOOK HOAX MEGA THREAD POST 4 - WALKING IN CIRCLES If you pay attention to what is really going on around the Sandy Hook Firehouse which was used at the event and is just a few hundred yards from the location of the school, you will notice people are walking in circles, out one door, in the other, over and over again. They also walk all the way around the firehouse, only to enter through another door. Why are these people doing this? Is this the same method that is used in movie productions where extras walk around on a loop in the foreground and background to create the illusion of a busier atmosphere?

"French" men attack and steal the phone off a man in Birmingham city centre because they didn't like that he was recording in public while he was walking around the streets. They did it right in front of the police, who managed to get the phone back but then didn't make any arrests and denied that it was assault, leaving the men to walk free, another officer then said the man was causing a breach of the peace by recording.

🇨🇳CHINA IS WALKING A 7,500-TON BUILDING USING 432 ROBOTS?! Yes, really. In Shanghai, engineers are moving a 100-year-old building that weighs more than 1,200 school buses. Not with cranes. Not with wheels. With 432 tiny robots that walk it across the ground like a 1920s parade float powered by Roombas. The building, called the Huayanli complex, combines Chinese and Western design and once hosted a patriotic night school. It also happens to be sitting directly on top of where the city wants to build a giant underground shopping center, parking garage, and subway hub. So instead of knocking it down, they are casually walking it out of the way. Once the underground work is done, they plan to walk it right back like nothing ever happened. Why robots? Because the neighborhood is packed tighter than a storage unit. Normal construction machines would get stuck just trying to turn a corner. So engineers built tiny walking robots, used AI to map every inch of the site, and set up conveyor belts to carry away dirt like they were remodeling the future one scoop at a time.

These young ladies thought it would be fun to walk around in the middle of the night, they wound up at the park were just hanging out on the swings, chatting amongst themselves. Then they heard people surround them with guns drawn, ordering them onto the ground. The people yelling and screaming don’t sound like police but they were too scared to tell. Should they have just ran for it, what’s the worst that could happen? While living in NC, my cousin and I were so bored all the time especially at night, this was before the N64 came out from Nintendo. So at night we would steal a few beers from the fridge and would walk around the middle of the night sipping some beers and seeing where we end up. While out this night we saw the same old Chevy truck keep driving by. In the third pass they started yelling aggressively and one waved a rifle that was sitting in the trunk bed. We figured it was just a few drunk locals with nothing better to do. So we ended up deciding we needed to walk back home. We saw them again and we were close to a gas station so I decided we should run to the gas station in case these guys try to get cute. They ended up going to the gas station too, we were nervous because we thought they were coming in for us. But one of them grabbed some sodas and a Slim Jim and they left. Sometimes people do things like this just for fun, they think it’s funny to try to freak people out, I have a feeling these girls were just a victim of a few bored teenagers and weren’t in any real danger.

Trump: "Ukraine said they want to be a member of NATO...Long before Putin, it was a no-no by Russia or the Soviet Union or anything you want to call it, sort of a similar thing as it gets larger, very similar....Russia said we don't want the so-called opponent or the enemy, let's use their term, we don't want them on our border. And they were right."

A homeowner in Canada caught these guys dumping their old couches into the woods across from their property. They chased them down and made them go back and pick it up and then made sure they went to the dump to dispose of them like they should have in the first place. This is the way.

I see the Leftist/Ukrainian bots got a new talking point. They say “these labs weren’t even a secret”. Yeah, no shit, they were officially on the books via the DTRA. But if these labs were not a secret, then why did the Biden admin and MSM claim that these labs didn’t exist? Why did they censor and ban anyone who talked about these labs, which were not secret? That’s the whole point. The Biden admin, along with their lapdogs in the media, just blatantly lied about the existence of these labs, despite the fact that we had incontrovertible evidence that these labs existed. It was even codified into US law via the Nunn-Lugar Act. The Biden admin and the media just lied about reality, hoping this problem would go away. That’s why this is such a big deal. Because we caught them in a massive lie, which clearly means they have something to hide. Flashback to March 10, 2022, when then Senator Rubio admitted that the “fact-checkers” straight up said that the labs didn’t exist, and they should have acknowledged it. Well then the question becomes, who told them to lie, and why? The answer is, because they are an arm of the Democrat party, and they are attempting to cover their tracks. They admitted their guilt in the process of the coverup.

when jisung became an adult, all the members were given time off except 3racha because they had to do work so they stayed in the dorm. chan and changbin were like "let's go out and have fun!" but they ended up just walking one lap and came back to the dorm. jisung also talked about wanting to buy this and that but they had no money back then 🥲 🐿: the really sad part is none of the three of us had anything 🐖🐇: all we had back then was a condenser mic, a laptop and a bunk bed to rest in

James Wong Howe on how the ending of 'On the Waterfront' (1954) was filmed: "[I worked with Kazan] in 'On the Waterfront' (1954). Kazan said, “You know I got an ending to this picture, where Brando is fighting. I need more shots of fighting. Would you do that for me?” I said, “Yes.” The production manager asked me how many lights I wanted. I said, “No lights.” So we went down and shot, and it got later and later and it was getting darker and darker. Finally, I said, “Gee, Gadge [Kazan’s nickname], this is about it.” He said, “I need a shot of Brando. He’s been beaten up so he’s dizzy and he’s walking into the warehouse. The door opens there.” We used a handheld camera. It was an Eyemo that I gave to the operator. I put a piece of chalk down on the cement and said, “Now look through that camera and walk around that chalk mark.” He kept walking and walking, and said, “Gee, I’m getting a little dizzy.” I said, “Keep walking. Keep walking. Okay. Now point the camera at that door and hit the trigger and walk.” He couldn’t walk very steady, so it made a wonderful shot from Brando’s perspective. If I hadn’t spun the operator around and got him really dizzy, it wouldn’t have worked." (James Wong Howe, AFI, 1973)

Mark Cuban says he let Steve Nash walk over $3,000,000 then watched him win back-to-back MVPs “The doctors were saying that season he’d played like 29 minutes a game, and the doctors were saying he’s got all these orthopedic issues, this and that. And we made him a good offer.” “And I’ll never forget it because down in my office at the arena, I still have the calendar from that very moment, where I took the notes when I was talking to Steve.” “Kudos to Steve. He called me back and said, ‘Hey, this is what they gave me. Mike Bibby money.’ And we had offered him like $13 million or whatever, and Mike Bibby money back then was like $16 million.” “And I was like, this is what we’re sticking at, Steve. We want you to come back, but to make it all work with the cap… Obviously, that probably was my biggest mistake. Letting Nash walk.”

A railroad company in Portland Oregon put large boulders in front of their property because of the large concentration of homeless people Now Democrats are suing them to remove the boulders, allowing the homeless to put their tents back on their property Kevin Dahlgren 🥾 🥾 “I'm in Vancouver, Washington, in front of one of the BNSF properties, which is a railroad. Behind me, we have all these boulders. So BNSF put these boulders here, and they are currently being sued by the city of Vancouver, stating this is not standard practice. Now, the reason why they place these boulders here is because this is a very, very high concentration of homeless activity in the city of Vancouver. So much so like this three block radius probably has more homeless concentrated here than anywhere else in the city. So the railroad made the decision to put these boulders here to try to keep the camps out just so employees can come and go. But now the city of Vancouver is suing. — They're being sued by the city demanding that they remove the boulders, something the railroad doesn't want to do because they're trying to keep their staff safe.”

When monks leave their monasteries to walk for peace, it's not only symbolic, it's a warning. They don't seek attention. They don't ask for power. They walk only when the world is out of balance. They carry nothing but what's given to them. This isn't a protest. It's a prayer in motion. The fact that Buddhist monks are walking for peace in America should make us all pause. This is serious, rare, & it matters. People need to quietly stand and watch to take it in. Understand the significance. They’ve never walked in the US.

☝️"When the United States created the atomic bomb and the Soviet Union entered the race, actively developing its own nuclear program, it relied on both Russian and foreign scientists, primarily Germans. Soviet intelligence also received a lot of information from the US; suffice it to recall the Rosenberg couple, who were executed in the electric chair. However, they didn't obtain this information; they were merely transferring it. So who did obtain it? The scientists themselves, those who were developing the atomic bomb. Why did they do it? Because they understood the dangers. They had let the genie out of the bottle and knew it couldn't be put back in. I believe this international team of scientists, who were more intelligent than the politicians, provided this information to the Soviet Union of their own volition to restore the nuclear balance in the world. And what are we doing now? We are trying to destroy that balance. And that is a grave mistake." - President Putin.

I had to take a ride to Walmart yesterday to pick up a mouse for my awesome laptop that my very special lady got me for my upcoming birthday. It's always an adventure walking into that place. Seeing this kid and his grandma there would have been one of the more normal sites. Here's a question, how do these goth kids walk around in 90° weather with the sun beating down on them, all dressed in black from head to toe?

Trump Made Sure the Rescue Mission Succeeded "The military sat down and said, 'The next time this happens, we’re going to do it right.' And this time around, they brought the CIA in. And why did they bring the CIA in? Just to throw the enemy off."

Trump on the Ukraine War: They say you're so nice to Russia. I'm not nice to Russia. I've been very tough on Russia. I gave the Ukrainians Javelins. A Javelin is an anti-tank weapon, and those Russian tanks were obliterated. And everybody said, "What's wrong?" Because, you know, they have the satellites, right? The satellite photos, and the tanks were lined up and they weren't moving for days. And then they came to hit 'em with satellites. They were locked in quicksand, practically. It was mud like quicksand. They couldn't move. Had this Russian general just gone right up the concrete highway, they would've been in Kyiv within four hours, and there wasn't a damn thing that Ukraine was going to do about it. That war would've been over in one day. That was four and a half years ago. So that was a terrible mistake. They were totally unprepared. And not only that, when they wiped out all these tanks, it gave them confidence. You know, confidence is very important. Source: Axios

.Douglas Murray to Piers Morgan: “The thing that struck me, Piers, about seeing the 7th of October footage, was that even the Nazis were actually ashamed of what they did. SS battalions who spent their days shooting Jews in the back of the head and pushing them into trenches, had to get very, very drunk in the evening to forget what they had done. The Nazi high command had to famously sort of get around the problem of soldier morale because the soldiers knew this wasn’t exactly what their lives were meant to look like either. “I tell you one very big difference. If you look at the raw footage—and I really hope people don’t on a wider scale have to view what I viewed the other day—if they see it, they will see something that is at least as barbaric as what the Nazis did. “But here’s the difference: They did it with glee. They were deeply proud. You see people taking the head off a young Israeli man with a shovel and then calling their parents back in Gaza and telling them, father, father, … I’ve killed ten Jews in my hands, get mother on the phone, I want to tell her how great a job their son has done. “I’m not exaggerating this. It’s very, very interesting. People need to realize you had this situation with the Nazis where they were also a genocidal anti-Semitic organization. But they tried to cover their crimes up. “Hamas [is] actually proud of them, and they’ve said they will do them until the whole world is clear of Jews. “So I suggest we take that seriously, and I think Israel is taking it seriously. I hope they continue to take it seriously. But I think the world should take it seriously.”

SNYDER: When I was growing up in '70s and '80s, existence of Soviet Union was as certain as anything could be in politics. People who predicted the end of Soviet Union were outcasts and outliers. And up to December 1991, it was American policy to try to preserve Soviet Union. So it's really striking that all that's solid really can melt into air. The things that seem like absolute bedrocks, or even axioms of political thought, can cease to exist. Breakup of Soviet Union also means that 1990s in Russia happened faster there than here. Time goes faster there than in US. That means that things that are going to happen in US start to happen faster there, such as political postmodernism or return of a certain kind of fascism or oligarchy. So the end of Soviet Union shows that things can come to an end, but it also shows some of the possibilities of 21st-century politics which we then wade into ourselves later on.

SNYDER: When I was growing up in '70s and '80s, existence of Soviet Union was as certain as anything could be in politics. People who predicted the end of Soviet Union were outcasts and outliers. And up to December 1991, it was American policy to try to preserve Soviet Union. So it's really striking that all that's solid really can melt into air. The things that seem like absolute bedrocks, or even axioms of political thought, can cease to exist. Breakup of Soviet Union also means that 1990s in Russia happened faster there than here. Time goes faster there than in US. That means that things that are going to happen in US start to happen faster there, such as political postmodernism or return of a certain kind of fascism or oligarchy. So the end of Soviet Union shows that things can come to an end, but it also shows some of the possibilities of 21st-century politics which we then wade into ourselves later on.

Another reason why Trump cannot afford to just walk into a summit and call Xi's regime what it is: America's economy is now so hopelessly entangled with the CCP's that full-throated honesty about the China threat triggers economic blowback and strategic suicide. This wasn't true in the Cold War, as I tell Marissa Streit. Back then, the US and Soviets were economically decoupled. Hollywood made Red Dawn, Rocky IV, and a hundred other films openly calling them the evil empire. Reagan could label them the "focus of evil in the modern world" without the Soviet Union yanking the plug on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, or rare earth magnets. We fought the ideological war with clarity because the economic one barely existed.
