Haha I didn't even notice. I don't really listen to radio much anyway, though I do listen to radio from 10 years ago :D

That WWII plane find is awesome, would hate to imagine what happened to the pilot.

The picture says it all... :D
I'm not sure why I immediately thought of posting it here in the off topic section...

I wouldn't mind working for whatever company sponsored them! :D

On a more wholesome note, I found these two pages:

Link1

Link2

Link 1 is about a Russian diving exercise in Volzhsky. I really like the solid brass diving helmets, they have a twisted appeal to me. I've always wanted to learn to scuba dive.

Link 2 is about an abandoned Russian missile facility. Abandoned industrial sites also have a twisted appeal to me as well. Something about the unexpected piercing silence.

I grew up just a few hundred miles from Russia, but not being able to see it. Russia has always held a special appeal to me.

I also thought somebody might find it ever so slightly interesting.

I got a job opportunity with a machinist! Great chance too, because if I am allowed to try my hand at the lathe, I may actually prove a point to my grandfather, so I can't wait! I will mostly be doing stuff like polishing parts, and carrying stuff from the cnc to the polisher, then packing them after I polish them.
