Why Marine One Is So Expensive

It still impresses me how just about anything can be found on YouTube. It is probably the largest video arhcive in the world. I hardly, if ever, couldn't find something I was looking into. Amazing times we're living in.

Inside A Nuclear Powered Submarine

The USS Florida (November 2019)

I'm a bit surprised the Navy granted permission to film. On the other hand I doubt anyone has a clue how all these systems work with what was shown in this video.

Ever Hear Of The "De Toppers"?

See the thing is we think only American music performers can fill stadiums. So not true. Some of the biggest acts in the world never come to the United States. DE TOPPERS is one such group. Hence why most of us here in the states never heard of them. According to Wikipedia, "The group has performed a series of concerts every year since 2005 in the Johan Cruyff Arena [Amsterdam]... with more than 40 sold-out shows, is the longest running concert series in the Benelux [group of three nations]."

I've posted five performances but a whole bunch more can be found HERE ON YOUTUBE Them folks in the Netherlands sure know how to have a good time! It makes me want to visit there.














Yes this what I do with most of my time. Watch a bunch of international performers few ever get to enjoy. This is what makes me the most happy.
