  1. Tis all about putting things into perspective....
  2. No. but it less discourteous than the other misnomers that sprang to mind.
  3. OME, in the interest of fact hunting I asked A.I. and the answer to your question is ....... "The price of tea in China varies widely based on factors like quality and type, with average prices around $10 for 250g of tea, while high-quality varieties can cost significantly more, even up to $1,000 for 500g." So there!
  4. That's relevant. Remember Donold once promised to make eggs cheaper.
  5. Are you referring to unsolicited phone calls? I totally agree. They are an insult to our intelligence. But we cannot blame the politicians for it, no matter what political party is in power. Further, I cannot stand the businesses that persist in using foreign call centres. Or A.I. voice prompts. But I still cannot blame politicians for such business decisions that create poor customer service (even the big profitable banks are often guilty of it).
  6. gotta larf. Just displays the level of Amerikan ignorance for the world to see. But the world doesn't neen any more proof. of course I question 'is that pic real?' These days truth challenges irony a lot.
  7. Like all 'end of use' engineering stories....... I'm still waiting to hear all about the grand innovative car tyre recycling plan. or the grand plastics recycling plan......... or the innovative nuclear waste recycling plan. We hoomin beans are not very innovative when we finish playing with our toys.
  8. Good question. No doubt there is a connection. On the flip side of that thought, Without my grasp of language, I would never have found out how unintelligent some folk are....
  9. Get ya mind outa tha gutter, old mate. You're above all this.
  10. They must have used a long lense to get that shot. Or cheated.
  11. But just look at all the money saved..... Looks like you won't be spending anything on diesel for a while. Unless you finish that bushcraft trike.
  12. Our politicians should take note of that
  13. I think the concern raised in the video is about the risks posed by combining anthropomorphic weaponry with effective simpler machines like drones. Further, although they didn't mention it, there is the possibility that one deranged person could control them without worrying about disobeying 'illegal orders'. Or A.I. deciding that humans ARE the problem.
  14. Restricted, how? I clicked on it. It played. Perhaps restricted fron usa? They didn't say.
  15. Even more sobering.... There are only 7k likes, and only 1k comments on this vid. I would have hoped for lots lots more concerned people watching & reacting. Unless the restriction mentioned (censorship) is so widespread that nobody is seeing it.
