Woops, haha, wrong forum...

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

"Now we've reached the base of the antenna." WTF? STOP CLIMBING!!!

I just noticed this - there goes yet another one of my childhood memories.

The antenna tower video made me queasy. It also reminded me of this bit about that new huge ass tower in Dubai -

To wash the 24,348 windows, a horizontal track has been installed on the exterior of Burj Khalifa at levels 40, 73 and 109. Each track holds a 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) bucket machine which moves horizontally and then vertically using heavy cables. Above level 109, up to tier 27 traditional cradles from davits are used. The top of the spire, however, is reserved for specialist window cleaners, who brave the heights and high winds dangling by ropes to clean and inspect the top of the pinnacle. Under normal conditions, when all building maintenance units will be operational, it will take 36 workers three to four months to clean the entire exterior facade.

*Bold emphasis added by me.

Embedding appears to be not working - didn't realize YouTube started disabling that.

was it hello kitty or gundam that was ruined for you?

Gundam, though I think this was a rhetorical question.

I do miss the days when Hello Kitty wasn't so ubiquitous and annoying.

What exactly are Trends Audio trying to sell here?

Pianos, obviously?

If it's obvious, then why is your answer in the form of a question?

Also: LOL @ "perfect understatement"

I thought I was playing Jeopardy.

That is at present sounds in player HM-801 are reproduced not naturally. Not in that place where they should sound on frequencies.

Tell, it probably to correct in new firmware? Thanks.

Good-bye!

My response - "You need better translation software."

Reminds me of my favorite line from Rush Hour (movie) - "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"
