RE: Interviewing the SteemSTEM Curators - @alexs1320
I wanted to be "132" in the name of the very first car I've driven (when I was 10 or 11)
I'm not gonna comment on that...

You just did :D
It's kind of like when somebody says "Not to mention the day you went to the shops" and you say "but you just did!" :D
Lol.
😎
I mentally ignored that in fact. And I won't repeat that to my boys ;)
My father had a strange approach. I was bright and curious kid and there were 2 options. To let me figure it out myself or... To teach me how to use serious things. In practice, am I strong enough to cock the air rifle? Yes! Good, I knew how to use it when I was 6. Am I tall enough to press the pedals? Yes! Ok... Son, here is the empty field to practice a bit. It's not all that uncommon for kids to operate tractors and vehicles on village paths. (1 min of yt search :) )
You know it's not uncommon in rural areas here in oz either..and despite strict gun laws here, I was surprised to find out that a 12 year old can legally operate a gun!
Anyway @alexs1320 it's great to see somebody on steemstem keen into photography and cars . You have to keep us updated on your lens project :).
Lastly, thank you @katerinaramm for taking the time to do this interview 👍
Serbia is a
goldlensmine with incredible prices and many SSSR/DDR exotics. I'll make some purchases this winter.In addition, my new position is optics, and there will be some weird lab bodges, very specific pieces of equipment and DIY.
Apply "the blockbuster voice":
Stay tuned... This Spring... Alex... S... is changing... his field of study.
I indeed assume that under these circumstances, there are very little ways to get the kids hurting himself. I am a city-boy (although a country-side adult), so that this always shocks me on the first impression ;)
Of course, in Slavic countries safety comes first:
Blyatiful
Safety level: Russia 😎
That guy who closed his eyes - priceless XD
Sure he closed, look at all that dust surrounding them!
I don't remember that anyone was ever hurt. Those were very strange times, a weird combination of the Middle Ages (no asphalt, no running water often with electricity cuts for a couple of hours) and almost XXI century gadgets like Spectrum/ Commodore/ Atari
Atari and Commodore definitely fit with the car picture below. I never heard anything about Spectrum. I am maybe not old enough :/
It was a cool car back then:
My friend's first car was an orange/black "Yugo" in 1974!
Poor guy :D
So old-timer! I love it!
