Tesla schools Jaguar



The Model X is 23% more efficient than the I Pace.  Even taking into account the purchase price its still an impressive victory for Tesla over a so called Tesla killer.

JBL neo classic Speakers



In my Ute JBL and Macintosh were the pinnacle of audio. IMHO most people could not tell the difference after the $1000 barrier of acquisition has been crossed.  I include myself and I would probably buy these.

Printing the future


Titomic has taken an old Soviet process and supersized it. Most metal 3D printers have to work in a vacuum. Their printer smashes powder at supersonic speeds.  Free of a vacuum chamber the sky is the limit. For example the whole hull of a large ship could be given a titanium coat. The mechanical properties may limit aerospace manufacturing for now. The story behind the headlines is it can use Titanium sands raw.

Life Burning Wartime



To say we are at war
is to say something
has changed
we have always
been at war
and it sucks
but that is
the reality 
of humans
try playing
civilization
a thousand
times
and exceeding
Dan Quayle
certification

It does not
have to be
this way
no matter commusit
capitalist
socialist
or any other
economic system
the secret to 
stably is wealth
distribution
the Guy from Ikea
who lived in socialist
Sweden
did not mind taxes

Bottom line
make everyone
happy and it do
not take a lot
and then
you can safely
park your 
yacht


Classic Yes Current ReMix



Yes along with Emerson Lake and Palmer 
was the sharp end of the Progressive Rock era
if Beethoven had done acid
and had a synthesizer 
well you get it
its a pity
this genre has
completely disappeared

Another must listen Jon Anderson and allegedly an unaccredited Vangalis
