Holy gasguzzler Batman, had a few minutes over coffee so I did the math, just for a bit of fun, now I have no comprehension of MPG so I broke it down to Litres per 100 Kilometres and with a bit of metaphysics I get it to cost 170 USD to fill that behemoth full with a 26G tank.

Ooopsie, held the graph the wrong way round, what a klutz I am, but almost 2500 trucks a day??? Wow!

One "uptick" if you want to call it that is I read that Ford are selling 2000 pickups a day since Trumpy got into power, I wonder if they would sell as many if fuel actually cost something? All in all Ford shares soar, buyers happy, environment loses, but who cares about the stupid environment?

Sadly that is true, human nature will win over in the end, but for the moment it is working and governments around Europe are at least trying to make it sustainable. But, Maggie Thatcher once said that: “The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money” ergo...

At the moment, Malta, the one in the Med.

But then you would go stir-crazy inside a month or two.

Oh! Uh! Wow! Why should companies not be forced to adhere to, at least, basic ethical principles, pay you a living wage and stick to the rules. Why not try to get a grip on unfettered predator capitalism like you see in the states? Whats wrong with making sure that you have clean air to breathe...

Ivar Kamprad the founder of Ikea has passed on to the great Billy Bookshelf in the sky at 91, but before he left there is this bit of magnificent advertising. IKEA Uses Print to Create a New Motivation to Buy Peeing on a print ad may sound strange at first, but it's a brilliant use of print...

That would work for you I am sure, I don´t know but the general idea is that young and dynamic is better than old and unflexible, it´s a myth I know but it seems to be hardwired into the heads of the HR drones that this is the case. But there is another reason that sadly make perfect economical...

Took a look at what they have to offer, I know a worm gear when I see one, I can count the teeth and maybe get the angle but then it gets gritty: Bore Type:Plain Number of Start:1 Nominal Lead Angle:2°36' Hand of Thread:Right Hand Reduction Ratio:30 Module:0.5 No. of teeth :30 Perhaps if I had...

That is true, there was one tooth broken off on the rack gear, it was a fresh break so I assume that it came from the false set film guides, however I swapped it with the gear from the water bath and get the same result, it seems to turn freely without any resistance but after three turns I can...

Got everything back together, at least mechanically, I did manage to swap the guides and put the wide ones on top and the thinner ones on the bottom with the result that the fixer rack would only turn in one direction, the wrong one. For that it got its self stripped down again and put back...

So, I´ll bet you have all been waiting with bated breath for the next gripping instalment of Slammer and the processor. Well I got the new parts and it only took another five they-will-be-ready-next-week´s. But I got them and they fit, they fit actually quite well and that is the main thing...

It would seem that genius and insanity are indeed closely linked, I wonder if they will be bringing the Skycopy back? Should have held on to all those Diatype font disks as well, typesetting is gonna rise again.

Methinks that was not intended to be understood like that as I detect some industrial strength cynicism. But perhaps I am wrong.

Uuuugh! Just felt a disturbance in the force. Companies making their own money, can you imagine apart from Kodakcoin perhaps the Agfabit? Or I-tunes where you can only pay with the Appletaler at an unfortunate € to AT exchange rate but with a great discount for the Renminbi? Petrol station...

Ooooo! Fight, lemme get the popcorn.

I don´t think good or bad applies, regardless whichever way you decided the outcome would have been the same in the end. As you said the writing was on the wall for a long time, I always thought of it as a train coming towards me and I was unable to get off the tracks but I always had 100% trust...

Are you being serious? These are the first companies that will can your ass as soon as you are over 45. It´s nice to imagine that your suggestions could be valid but as soon as it gets to the nitty-gritty bits, like insurances for over 5 million that no bank will back your for and that you need...
