Socrates was a ...!
@Jacob Maybe if you went offroad, this is just with roads.
@Hakujin - CA https://wikitravel.org/en/Trans-Siberian_Railway Take the train instead. VERY EUROPEAN
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Very INDO-European 😎
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN But does it go from Portugal to Russia?
@Hakujin - CA I'm sure you can take a different train(s) from Lisbon to Moscow
Trains go slower, and often through more interesting scenery. You can interact with new, interesting people, and maybe get into a murder mystery.
Sleeper cars solve the issue of transport + lodging.
Also solves the question of "what to do with the vehicle" when you get to Vladivostock
@ThisIsChris There's definitely truth to what you're saying, which is why I'm extremely wary of the state retaining control over education, because so long as that remains the case, the state's in a position to dictate *which* societal norms are cultivated and perpetuated...
When you get to Vladivostok you drive the car to japan
Hold your breath
Get big enough tires and you can float-drive.
They're actually getting ready to build a bridge from Hokkaido to Sakhalin, which already has one to Vladivostok 😎

why am I always the one that gets mic cucked lol
Can you drive cars through the Tsugaru tunnel?
I wanted to hear what you are saying am so sorry
@ophiuchus Not sure...
If so you’ll be able to drive from London to Tokyo, which is completely unnecessary and also dope af
We gotta build a bridge from Alaska to Chukotka
So long as the ground has already dried from spring showers, and there's no snow, then you should be able to drive from one side of Russia to the other in one piece.
Looking over Chukotka from a plane window was super cool
I can imagine...
>looking at absolute frozen wasteland, looks like the moon
>comfy with a blanket and some hot tea
Maximum comfy
@Jacob Yeah, but Canada's also responsible for pretty much ZERO medical innovation; they piggyback off of us.
They were the first to synthesize insulin I think
They suck now tho

Kill me
How difficult is it to iron a flag?
Depends on the material
It’ll melt polyester
@Bjorn - MD Canada has plenty of medical innovation https://www.contactcanada.com/database/companies.php?portal=4&s=0&l=90
It also has a population smaller than California
Even low heat? then wash it on cold and hang it outside
@ophiuchus Not sure when that was, but I'm kind of talking about the post -1930s dynamic, after the reforms championed by Tommy Douglas, which resulted in the present Canadian healthcare system.
actually California has a slightly bigger population
