Apparently these buzzwords are used to express power in interpersonal relationships. If a person is on a lower rung in the ladder than the person using the buzzwords, then the one on the higher rung is exerting power over the other. These words are also used to exclude outsiders from inner circles. These words are the trade jargon of the administrative classes. The one I hate is "on my watch". I could see it being used by John F Kennedy and the elder George Bush who both served in the Navy in WWII, but its use by people with no navy service grates on my nerves.

Corporate buzzwords and phrases. It was things like "bringing them along for the journey".. The latest is aligned.. as in "lets all get aligned".. These things are repeat ad nauseum... I am not sure people even know what they mean. P155es me off.

Intuitively yes, But airflow around bike engines is complex and sometimes Oil from the seat area ends up well forward. The front Cylinder on a Vee twin works the Hardest and usually has the Bluer Pipe. Any idea Why? I like V twins , There's a LOT right about them for a Bike AND a small Plane.Nev

Incidentally It Makes 82 HP with those heads (from 1,000cc) which are flowed and have a changed (reduced) included angle on the Valves and SMALLER exhaust Valves. The original Valves are Bigger than Optimum in the IRON head. This gives an increase of torque of up to 42% with no cam changes and no More Revs needed and the Ignition advance reduced by 8 degrees. The Oil temp is also significantly reduced because of the Alloy Heads and the flatter top ARIAS forged Pistons have Less area to absorb Heat.. It's all XR 750Tracker technology. The after market heads and different Manifold and rockers head bolts Pistons Pushrods and covers were Very expensive and they only made 400 sets. The Later alloy Motor can be Modified to equal these performance figures and the Buell Motor is there already. 100 HP/1200 cc with a much stronger bottom end and Lighter clutch. Nev

in this space.. on the same page... circle back... low-hanging fruit... bring to the table... brain dump... get buy-in... game changer... take it off-line... reinvent the wheel... onboarding... in my wheelhouse... top down... putting out fires... There are heaps of them and they're all irritating.

Little bit of a thread drift, but over here, they do not recognise common law marriage lie in Aus. In practice, if partner and I broke up, we could divide the property as per the legal (or any trust) ownerhip share.. anything that is legally hers stays hers, and anything that is legally mine stays mine. Mind you, the father has no legal access to the kids while they are under 18, but still has to pay for them.

A Sunbury driver high on drugs and uninsured, smashed int a Porsche, pushing it into another two Porsches and a McLaren, causing one of the most expensive accidents in Victoria. He was driving an old Holden utility.

It's air-cooled. That has some good aspects But also may Need Fan assist in some situations. The rear cylinder has a thermostat controlled Fan standard. Economy is good. Nev

No. but the Original system was restricting the Output. The Buell system increases the HP and is quiet, The Thunderhead motor sounds Like a Triumph 650 twin Not a Harley. It Goes (Boom flaa) when you rev it quickly.. It's my Vincent and (earlier) Ducati Eater/. Surprises a Lot of People I can tell you but the Buell Kills it with the extra 20 Hp and it's Massive Low down torque. I had Both at one time. The Ulysses Mob didn't Know what the Buell was, I prefer the Sporty on dirt. The Buell has a Massive radius Rear tyre (Pirelli Diablo) and the whole thing is good in the wet. Well Better than some. .

You mean to say, moving forward, we now have a more substantial range of useful phrases to obfuscate the corporate cesspool target misalignments?

Well the meaning of Life can't be accruing $#!t. Do as I say, not as I do It needs Protecting from the elements and you can't take it with you. and People want to pinch it. You Must Be organised though, or you will be going around in circles. My DOGS have restricted my LIFE though BAD idea. They still chase Kangaroos and anything else and cost as much as car to Keep. I've been with My Missus for 54 years. She Helps everybody and is Getting too Old for that. I need My machinery and tooling Making and fixing stuff is satisfying. Better than JUST buying it. That's JUST Money. Sometimes when you have done it , You wish you hadn't... My newest Vehicle is 12 years old the Oldest 4 wheel is 29 years old. There's better things to spend money on than new cars. IMHO Nev

Needs Updating. It SAYS it's more than 12 years OLD. Things move FAST in that Game. It's all a big CON. Nev
