The example machines in the first picture are type AT-101 SM which meant they had the glass rinser which is true. The problem? No soap. So you'd often find lipstick on the glasses, not really a "wash".

But the risk of infection is minimal and nobody really got sick from them in any noticeable way, it's just icky. Drunks stole the glasses all the time tho.

Here's a museum talking about the soda machine inside of the GES-2 power plant.

Imagine a Coke Freestyle Machine that only serves seltzer, but instead of plastic cups you have 2 glasses. This machine is a vending machine that's just installed on the street. There is nowhere to wash the glasses.

This is an older design, but it shows the glasses well.

This is the "classic" design that's Sovietana

This is a modernized replica that you'd use with paper cups

This is retaliation in every state.

Nah it's actually a real thing, it was a real thing in the states too.

I was reaidng one of those Cool Russia blogs at one point because i was researching something and it was on epidemiology in the USSR. The article was titled something like "The USSR conquered disease, but is that the whole story?". It basically talks about soviet immunization campaigns, and then at the end complains that in the USSR the soda fountains only had 2 glass cups people shared.

You're thinking of The Virgin of Guadelupe which used to be a folk tradition from the 1500's until the Church canonized it in the 1800's.

Mexican Catholicism

Is just a normal diocese.

They're protestants they don't recognize the Pope or Vatican II. Anglican Catholic is an ironic misnomer.

Old Catholics (incl Norse) and Anglican Catholics basically want to rewrite the power of the Pope but keep other Catholic shit because they're control freaks.

~~edit: Actually I'm wrong Anglican Catholics got the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter under Pope Frances in 2012.~~

~~For those of you that play Rogue Trader, it's basically a Warrant of Trade for the Church. They now are part of the Catholic order but their Personal Ordinariate allows them to mix up how they do communion and liturgy and shit.~~

~~Fucking 40k ass religion. Though I'm pretty sure the Pope would have stepped in to defrock him personally if the Anglican Church didn't.~~

EDIT 2:

Okay I'm wrong again. Personal Ordinariates allow for the followers of sects of Christianity to worship as Catholics using their own liturgical process when worshiping in a Church under the supervision of the Ordinary. The ACC doesn't recognize the Pope. Anglican Catholics in the US can simply worship as Catholics and take Catholic communion through the Ordinary Steven J. Lopes. The ACC itself has rejected the Personal Ordinariate and is not a part of the Catholic Church.

I repeat. Fucking 40k ass religion.

Do Americans even get TB vax as standard?

I know I have superior Soviet vaccination regime of TB and Smallpox. But I have never heard of an American getting a TB vaccine.

We are so incredibly fucked, yet the average norwegian is too fucking propagandised to see it. I often hear "duuh, we'll fight them in the mountains"

Every Nord and Finn thinks they can be Simo Hayha but the majority live in completely urbanized environments and haven't had to deal with the harsh realities of country life. But, yeah, you'll survive the mountains buddy.

The "international" community keeps pointing out how underdeveloped Russia is, as if having labor aristocracy soldiers is better than having ones that had to chop wood at grandma's house to keep the temps above 40 because grandma refused to leave her village.

The "rich countries" have a really fucking warped view of war.

"auth" is the opposite of "lib" duh. There's a American Prestige where Daniel Bessener argues exactly this, that "authoritarianism" means nothing at worst and "not liberal" at best.

I usually drive my wife to the train in the mornings. She usually listens to NPR morning edition for quick updates. We bitch about how lib they are in the car.

This morning she woke me up and NPR was already playing, it happens sometimes. I hear about this collision. The first thing in my head and out of my ADHD mouth at 6:40AM was "Shit, Iran finally got SpongeBob".

My wife was a figure skater as a teen and now plays Women's hockey. She's still into figure skating as a sport. In the car she elaborates on how crazy the crash was because it was full of figure skaters and she was just watching figure skating Nationals. She has a ticket to Worlds this year. I felt kinda bad about "SpongeBob" but I still think it was a good bit without any context.
