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
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".
That's funny because that's what I call your grandfather
Well he's gone now but like him and my dad, I too groan often lol.
Well, a few of mine have gone missing, and they look awfully similar to the one's Lithuania's got 🤔
Found Russia! :)-
Not hard to find when it's hogging so much space at the top of the map
They should share some of that space. Maybe with the Baltics or Finland?
Steel reinforced concrete

ha, why not both!
Concrete is pretty much always reinforced with steel rebar.
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.
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...
Is there is a big round boulder nearby that I can push up that?
