We lived in Nova Scotia, and saw the parade of tall ships. Very beautiful!

Wow, I didn’t realize you also used to live in Nova Scotia my family also drove to Halifax to see the parade, I always get motion sickness, whatever I travel on, so I just got to see the pictures ( back then I didn’t have a driver’s license)

A bit of communism in view of November 7. Lenin with a log.
The picture is dedicated to the local tradition of cleaning up the streets on Saturday (removing garbage, fallen leaves, sweeping, cleaning ditches with shovels, etc.). I don’t know about elsewhere, but here this tradition was invented by Lenin.
Well, accordingly, on November 7, the day of the communist revolution, few people in Russia do without talking about Lenin.
Frankly, there is little politics left in this, it’s more like just a tradition.

Now I'm looking these up and they're hilarious. Here's a vending machine in Japan that sells solder and resistors for all your late-night circuitry cravings.

I remember working as a system administrator, it was necessary to update software on servers. It was best to do it at night, so as not to stop people from working during the day. Well, I remember at 3 am I finished, and I wanted to eat. But all the shops and restaurants nearby were already closed, there was only a milk machine. I threw coins into it, it gave me an empty bottle for milk, and then it turned out that the milk in the machine was gone. So I was left at 3 am in the middle of the city with an empty bottle instead of dinner.
I got angry and walked across all the city to the bus station - there were cocoa machines there. They were working, I drank cocoa. Then at 8 am the stalls with chebureki (a fried pie with meat and onions) started opening and I ate. Since it was already morning, I didn't go home, but went back to work. True, there was nothing special to do there, because I had done everything at night.
In general, the first bus at the bus station left only at 5:40, and I was the only person who needed cocoa at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night. There was nothing else to eat until the morning, so I drank about three liters of this cocoa, dumping a whole mountain of coins into the machine.
