Friendly reminder:Industrial Hydrogen for the last 50 years has be produced by a machine (the size of a 3 story house) called a Steam Methane Reformer (SMR). The SMR’s input is (for the most part) Natural Gas and water, the output is Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide. (note Carbon Monoxide is a killer), a few decades ago,…

This might be the point you sound like an old man yelling at clouds.

“Crunch is a failure in management. They didn’t adequately plan enough time for a realistic scope and now they’re making the workers grind their health and life into dust so that our pixels look pretty enough.”

I wish they would say goodbye to those goofy little outboard headlamps.

So, you spent the money on a rapidly-depreciating asset? That was a guarateed loss of the money rather than a speculative one.

Well maybe depreciating. But a ring is not as useful as a working car.

That would assume that your intended wanted the ring as a temporary investment that she planned on hocking after a while. Not very romantic in my eyes, but YMMV. My soon to be wife was in greater need of a good set of wheels than a piece of compressed carbon.

Rather than plunking down a bunch of money on something that could get dropped and lost, you could do what I did when I got engaged.

Good intel on the barefoot thing, I actually believed that one. I do that in my Jeep all the time when it’s warm and I’m wearing flip flops. To me it always felt way safer than possibly getting a flop caught under a pedal.

Without the traction of awd I guess we’ll be seeing some of these show up on Wrecked Exotics.com then?

Since the Bosphorus is not in control of Turkey, it is their choice to get a pilot ship or not. Due to Montreaux, it can’t be a requirement and most ships prefer not to pay for it.

I wonder if large ships are required to use pilots in the waterway there. That might not have been much help in a situation of loss of engine control (as stated) but certainly a good knowledge of the channel and currents is always useful. Also I wonder if they have tugs available on emergency call. Have to see if I…
