A BIG thank you....

[jander6442]

Fist of all I wanted to start a thread to say thank you to all the top forum posters I could name a few but would inevitably leave someone disserving out. I write this post as a direct response to my fist succesful ground up build and could not have done it without
the advanced tech of some very intelligent people . Again THANK YOU.

Thats Ok cause I just wanted to thank the old timers that have made this forum what it is and to show my many thanks for passing on their lazer kung fu.

Yes it is at the site where they use to bury there dead, but of course they no longer do. I have always found the Chernoble sight
facinating (not in a sick way) done vast amounts of reading on the subject. It is amazing that in 1.20 minutes you could go from
green status to meltdown. Have a good day ;D

That's very cool, I'm extremely interested in that subject too.

I'm planning on going to Russia for a trip sometime in the future, and I hear that for about $300 they will take you in to the exclusion zone.

Sounds like cigarettes to me... paying money to lower your lifespan...

They carry a geiger counter with them and get you out of there if anything bad happens, it's run by the government or with permission of the government, I believe.

I watched a documentary on it and there's an elderly couple, both over 100 years old, who have lived in the same house about a mile from the reactor all their lives and they're still doing fine.
