Absurd Logistics, Part 6

|
"QUANTUM SHOT" #295link Necessity is the mother of invention, yet again Wow, we've had the last "Logistics" issue only a month ago, and yet we've received so many pictures and documented instances of inspired madness in the face of the tight circumstances, that we are pressed to publish another part of this series. Could it be that the world is spinning faster (and getting hotter) so that more and more people are forced to invent things on the spot? In any case, enjoy this compilation, and continue sending us the strange sights you see around you. (Most of the source sites and mailed pictures don't credit the original photographers, so please help us with identification so that we could include this info on the page.)

The `water heater' is an invention from a polish student's dorm in Krakow. I have covered this with a bit of a background some time ago here:
Well, it seems that URLs are filtered away on DRB. So, CTRL-C CTRL-V:
,,Long live ages old, never repaired student dorms…
Actually the problem is more complex. There are quite many dorms located in old buildings that have a `cultural heritage’ status and as such may not be modified without authorisation of responsible institutions.
In principle a good regulation, as it prevents ruining rests of old architecture, but sometimes it really backfires - in this case the dorm cannot be modified to provide in-room hot water.
Renovation costs are also pretty high - it’s really controversial sometimes, as the materials used must match the style and finish of the original fittings.Sure again - it’s a god idea, but what if there’s no money for special paint orexotic type of plaster? Shall the building fall into ruin just because nobody’s ready to pay for reverting it to the truly original state, or maybe it’s good to use something cheaper, but preserving the state if not the style?

"Train car, converted into... something" - it's orthodox church :)

enjoy :D
Probablöy the majority of the crowd has noticed, that most of the pictures were of cars with Russin plates. Wonder why..
It's the same shite here in Estonia, where the daily news tell us about fatal crashes involving BMW's and Vladimirs. And I do mean -every day-.
