tomscott.com - / tomscott - Here's the behind-the-scenes video from Chernobyl week, where Paul (@cr3) and I answer how we got here, and what it's like -- while you see all the B-roll footage that I couldn't fit into the regular videos!
Holstered Cactus Egyptian here, I have 2 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbps up (with practically no quota), and I pay about 230 EGP (30 USD) per month for that. Yeah, depressing :S
RogerWilco I'm one of the unlucky bastards living in Australia that doesn't have the NBN. 6Mbps down, 0.14Mbps up, absolutely piss all quota and I'm paying $130 a month for it and a phone line.
John Moore I know the feel, bro. When I lived in Australia, I was paying like $85 a month for ADSL2 with unlimited data. Then I moved to Japan where for the same price I get gigabit fiber. And it comes with unlimited data as standard.
@@kennethtimorang8343 The English spelling of "бЛЯТЬ" varies depending on whether it's a direct translation or an interpretation. Directly translated to English spells it as "BLYAT". However interpreting it, so that it sounds closer to the Russian pronunciation, will make it "BLYAD". *б* = B *Л* = L *Я* = YA *Т* = T *Ь* = (soft end)
@@AntiHamster500 you know, if I learned Russian in school... this comment will be the equivalent of 7 meetings combined, school sucks, is slow and is literraly hell
@@Gaellka this more Russian, if you want more "Ukrainian" you can say "Чого балухи вилупив?" - "Chogo baluhi vilupiv?!" mean "why you’re looking at me?!" but it mean "stop looking at me!".
To people thinking the cat sounds weird: cats, individually, sound different, they have their own voice like humans, and cats from differents part of the world sound different too, they have accents. Some believe that cats in the wild don't mew and they only mew to try to imitate and communicate with their caretaker (dog, ape, or human).
+Erelde I agree. I have five cats and despite them all being related (one mother, four daughters) each one has her own unique voice. I can tell who wants into my room by the sound of the meowing at the door.
*Can you break in?* *Technically yes* I mean, if a "special military operation" were to take place and they were to march down and just take control, that's technically a yes right?
@@Emily-pd2hi This is a reference to the russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian military forces occupied Chernobyl in I believe February of this year. You can look it up if you are interested in knowing more about this
***** Same in Romania, the problem is that the shrinkage is applied to salaries as well, with the minimum wage being around 130 pounds PCM. That's right, 130 pounds PER MONTH. So for them it's like a beer being 10 pounds here in the UK. Not that funny now, is it?
Don't go there for the beer unless your only goal is to get very drunk, because it tasted like crap when I was there. I have no idea why he said that he enjoyed the beer, he must have misspoken.
The shot from the top of the building where you can see the reactor and the new safe confinement was amazing. It really gives you an idea of how huge the thing is.
@@crististefanescu8169 Hey,why do you support Germany despite being a Romanian? Why is there a photo of Mario Gotze holding the world cup in your profile picture?
In Russia particular and most post USSR countries prices are really low, but you need to divide your salary on 3 at least. Here in UK minimal salary per month is about 60 000 rubbles and in Russia is about 17 000 rubbles per month... and yes I'm Russian living in UK
Well, a typical low-end ISP regional uplink is naturally going to seem quite sprightly when it's only being shared between a couple hundred people tops, rather than many thousands... There's probably barely even a full gigabit down / 200 meg up for the entire zone, and I used to work somewhere that had 1gbit both ways into the server room from the local fibre broadband provider...
Have always wanted to visit Chernobyl. Did a project on it when I was at school; have always been fascinated. Sadly, watching this in March 2022, it doesn't seem likely that I'll visit any time soon. Thoughts are with Ukraine.
Thanks, friend!❤ Ironically, despite being from Kyiv and traveling around Ukraine quite a lot, I haven’t visited either- here’s hoping both you and I can visit as soon as possible!
It’s really amazing how much wild life there is in Chernobyl. I saw a documentary where they mentioned there’s a herd of very rare wild horses there and that it’s one of the only places you’ll actually see them in the wild. It’s basically becoming a home for wild life, some will live some will die but for many, it’s a safe haven compared to the rest of the world.
I'm sure you know, but that's not how nuclear radiation works. Or evolution. If the area was THAT unsafe, there'd be no birds for wild cats to feed upon.
its going to be amazing for people in a few hundred years seeing whats left of the buildings like an outright glimpse back into how people of our era used to live
Well, they'll probably just be able to do that with whatever regular buildings still survive elsewhere in the world. As for Pripyat, it's been barely 30 years and it already looks like something out of an apocalyptic horror film, there's not that much trace of how the people of the Soviet Union "used to live" there just one generation ago. It's just empty, crumbling shells (ah yes, that famously high quality soviet reinforced concrete - I'm amazed Tom had the balls to go to the top of that building, it'll probably have collapsed in a few more years' time), and whatever junk wasn't worth the effort of salvaging. There's less anthopological knowledge there that in a typical archaeological dig.
When watching some of this footage, I recognized places from Call of Duty. Makes me wonder how faithfully it was recreated, though it also looks like the map was made from pictures in a guided tour...
I know i'm 6 years late but listening to you talk about people breaking in and how hard it can be and all I think of is the 2 videos of Shiey and his companions treading through the zone forest and over the river and hiding from the security.
@@ChrisWar666 there were many stories that the Russian troops were unaware of the history of the area. They were digging trenches in the radioactive zone oblivious to the danger.
