Of course it makes the grain grow better, just knowing what lies ahead. Casady Amazing the twists and turns posts here take... * :) The point is that it is one thing to be "just wrong" and another to be as willfully ignorant as HK is. *Every day you should wake up and thank God for producing the "greedy capitalists" who have made your life possible. Bull****. Capitalism has its place, but the sort of "greedy capitalism" since the 1980s does not. I'm as much for businesses making reasonable profits as anyone else, but rapacious capitalism? No. That's the sort of capitalism that brings us the Love Canal, Enron, George W. Bush, the failure of our economic system, et cetera. Hey...shouldn't you be out building or repairing something else that will fall apart under you? *Or planning to cross the Gulf of Mexico on a surfboard you built from leftover orange crates with a sail made of recycled green trashbags? * :)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Amazing. An alleged mechanical engineer that insults anyone who likes to, and takes pride in making things, fixing things, etc. Gee he's the only alleged engineer that I know that won't touch anything mechanical.....!!! Yes, I am supposed to be sailing across the Gulf right now. *I told my 22 yr old daughter that I'd sail with her and her bf down to Ft Myers so they could take my sailboat across Okeechobee and then to the bahamas. *Unfortunately, I am spending the week repairing 29 year old electron microscopes because I cannot afford to buy new ones. Consider that a new one would probably cost a min of $250,000 and I bought these for the cost of shipping ($2200) and repaired them for nearly nothing, I am ahead. *B'leve it or not, I got em on E-bay. They both worked well for the past 3 years too. Eisboch: *If you run across any surplus turbo-pumps, let me know. Gee, if I had a physician that cut corners the way you do...I'd find another physician. "Yes, we rebuilt that lab equipment that we bought on ebay from a shut-down Mcdonalds...that sterilizer? Used to be a deep fryer." Well Duh, but I am not a physician,I am an inventor. As soon as I show that something works I license it to a bigger company who does a good job of making it really work well. |
