					<description>Electronic part of &#8220;how condoms are made&#8221; - NaN is not encouraging at all

Youtube is great at suggesting sometimes meaningless or totally unrelated (definitely these are random psy experiments or sneaky product placements :)))) ). Nevertheless, the following one was fun and entertaining, especially from a hacking perspective.

It&#8217;s called &#8220;How BILLY BOY condoms are made". The part which amused me most is this:

  in condoms, one especially would appreciate their certainty characteristic, i.e. it should be certain with a high degree of confidence that it will not fail
  production line computer and electronic testing system however, produces very uncertain-looking results, as shown in the screenshot - NaN or non-a-number is not a very encouraging result or measurement&#8230; :)
  even if the computer was turned on just for the marketing TV shooting, this kind of sloppy mistakes make you wonder about the entire quality of the production software and chain :)
  happy &#8220;safe NaN sex&#8221; :D

E orient-expresul metafizicului si nu al luxului material, deh ca de exemplu ar fi ani lumina de la budele sale metalice de inchisoare (care duhnesc mai ceva ca la festivalele de bere-cu-vin) pana la un veceu cel putin decent, nu mai zic de comod-plauct-si-comfortabil :).

Pentru exemple de buda (nota: mi se par incredibil de hilare semnele pentru talpite :) ) si dusuri avansat-improvizate (nota: vagoanele nu sunt prevazute cu dus din proiectare :) ), vedeti pozele atasate:

Mai ales cand simti mireasma salcamilor care te face nebun de romantism&#8230;.

Enjoy!

					<description>Cum drumul in trenul Prietenia Chisinau-Bucuresti este lung si lin, mereu imi face deosebita placere sa stau pe culoarul stramt, sa ma pierd in ganduri uitandu-ma peste geamul intre-deschis si sa savurez apusul si peisajele mereu impresionante din Moldova - chiar ma bucur uneori ca trenul are o viteza demna de o caruta, altefel s-ar pierde din farmec si din peisaj&#8230;

Nu stiu cum vine, dar de obicei ascult rock rusesc pe acea portiune de drum - poate pentru ca este foarte liric sau poate pentru ca are multa filosofie sau chiar ambele&#8230; Oricum ar sta lucrurile cu rockul rusesc neclintit in calitate de decenii bune, in Moldova lucrurile stau altfel decat mi-as fi dorit (si altfel decat si-ar fi dorit-o multi altii), desi suntem mult dupa 7 Aprilie 2009.

In amalgamul de emotii, idei si tristete, conturul viziunilor care-mi strabat mintea in acele clipe este dat de DDT, care mi-a fost servit marinimos de shuffle&#8230;

Desi au trecut ani de la scrierea lor, sunt atat de actuale in Moldova curenta, incat genialul Shevchuk merita o galaxie si nu doar o stea pe cer&#8230;
