Reminds me of one of Al Bundy's songs from Married With Children: My wife will never cook or clean Still my money spends Who knew when I first chose my mate That she would put on that much weight Oh sex we'd like for sure If it only weren't with her Please K-I-L-L K-I-L-L Me, me, me

I only ride bikes, but my dad always comments on the price of bike parts whenever I would mention them. Economy of scale is still a perfectly valid point

Supply and demand I would suspect. Cost drops the more units being ordered - economy of scale. Same deal with motorbike parts vs car parts - car parts are way cheaper, due to the massive amounts being produced relative to motorbike parts. I'm sure if IRM ordered 500,000 sound chips, they'd be a lot cheaper per unit than they are currently!

From the same channel, the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the Great Lakes is another one - I heard the song that was penned about the sinking late one night on the radio, and found it very moving https://youtu.be/U9jDNEtg8JY https://youtu.be/9vST6hVRj2A -

I suppose the climate must help keep the rust at bay, prolonging a vehicles usable lifespan -
Around the 2min35 mark of this cine transfer from 1980, put up by Tom Ryan, there is an example of a 'mixed' selection of coaches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU9lcXpkrtY

Ever since Electric Jesus / Space Karen took over Twitter, it looks like he is trying to take over from Facebook as the new place for the loonies to go and spread their shite - with a few choice tweets from himself to get the party started
-
I had to take myself off 'antisocial media' - Facebook/Meta/Twitter are poison. Don't get me started on businesses using FB as their main 'website' - if you are at that sort of thing, you have failed A dedicated forum is a different kettle of fish.

Private group on FB, so not much use. Also, no good for those not on FB

I've been in the IT game for the past 25 years - no backups is a real no-no!
