Woooooh, tap of the weak.    Well... no, if only you could feel the smoothness of the new bearings.

About to go on a fishing trip with the future in-laws 

Are you going to get married.

[:| Hi]

Yep


Went bust on the fishing! Hard to catch anything when there are 20 people fishing the same area 

Not a bad memorial day weekend though, was great to get out there and do some casting at least

I upgraded my CPU with Core 2 Duo e8500. Clocked it a bit and I think the game runs smoother than before Gotta build a new rig soon...

I just came back from a family trip to Poland and it was great. Saw my extended family, visited Mielec, Tarnow, Krakow, and even Morskie Oko. Poland is just beautiful; endless fields, forests, and farmlands in every direction. Morskie Oko and the beskidy mountains are breath-taking, definitely recommend anyone to visit. Europe feels so different from America, I love it.

Also:

...If that would be Poland it needs more Jesus and/or Virgin Mary, basically, something like this on every corner:

I didn't believe you until I saw it for myself; statues like these are basically everywhere there. There's even one next to my aunt's house. Another thing I saw a lot in Poland are roundabouts at almost every intersection. 


All in all, it was a very nice and fun trip. Except for the flying, I hate flying. Also we had a delayed flight.

2 years ago i found a 1915 made Colt 1903 pocket hamerless pistol, Belgian army contract, that i bought, last year i found a ww1 made Belgian army holster for it and now i found 5 cartridges for it that where made in Belgium in 1914. Almost complete!, now i just need a third magazine for it and done!

[Dancho]

Am I the only one who reads hemmerless as harmless?
BTW that's very goo stuff you've found sieben,

[VonMudra]

Guess what guys!



I have a real office now!  Shared with all the other grad student TAs/TFs!  This is where I'll be bashing students up-side the head with history books!  I have a key for it and everything, and even my own mail slot in the departmental mail room!

Yey first real job in academia!

Neat! Now you can very professionally smack some historical sense into people!
Seriously, it's pretty effin cool

[FHMax3]

@VonMurda, just out of interest, do you teach ww2 history lessons?

Hehe, I'm looking forward to doing so!  I'll be running office hours 2 days a week, 2 hours each day, so hopefully I'll get plenty of students coming in for that smackdown.

@VonMurda, just out of interest, do you teach ww2 history lessons?

Heh, VonMurda.  Haven't seen that misspelling in a while.

I'm getting my PhD in History, and am assigned as a Teacher's Assistant as well.  Basically I will be dealing with grading, working with students 1 on 1 at office hours, possibly teaching some of the classes, and in general doing all the work the Professors can't be bothered with.  Academia is kinda like a guild in that sense.   The next step I want, maybe next year or so, would be becoming a Teaching Fellow, at which point I'm handling my own course, teaching it, etc, and will possibly even have some TA's assigned to me.  Then just gotta hold myself there until I get my PhD, which will take ~5 years of coursework and dissertation research/writing/defending.

Congratulations VonMudra!

Let's right what Hollywood has wronged the society about World War 2.

Currently, I am dealing with extremists Imams posting pro-Nazi historical revisionism over my facebook wall.

This one is pretty anti-semitic, bypassing Facebook's filter just because it is written in Indonesian.

As an Indonesian Chinese, I am used to prominent local Imams preaching hate towards the minority Chinese community, but openly posting anti-Semitic content in his page is another level. There will be shitstorm of consequences when you start doing this sensitive subject, especially on a western media platform like Facebook. I am pretty sure, despite all the weird books he read, he should know that Zuckerberg is a Jewish.

Real job and academia? Can not get these words in any context that would make sense 

PS: I am working in academia as well.
