Futaba Corporation.

I'm using an old RC helicopter radio I bought eons ago to control a raspberry pi, so I'm reverse engineering the signal on the receiver side (which was surprisingly easy), and I got curious about the company in general.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesaffelstein I heard a song by an artist I've never heard of before

Porn actress Kagney Linn Karter. I recently found out she took her own life last year which was quite sad.

I've been looking at modern fighter jets for some inspiration in my sci-fi world I'm making, and I was kinda shocked to learn the US is the odd one out for having a relatively small gatling gun with a huge rate of fire and 100s of round of ammo. Turns out most modern jets use much slower firing, higher caliber autocannons and only have like 100-200 rounds on board. Reminds me of how the US almost exclusively used a bunch of .50s on their fighter planes during WWII while the rest of the world started mounting larger cannons on their planes

I like looking at tv episode guides and actor filmographies

9 times out of 10 I'm looking up an entertainer, usually their filmography or discography. I find Wikipedia much more pleasant than imdb.

A friend of mine posted a picture of a Halloween decoration of a skeleton man with a skeleton dog jumping up on him. It reminded me of a photo I've seen of the same but with real skeletons and it brought me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Krantz

Didn't realize he was a local Washingtonian who studied Bigfoot.
