That can't be right - if 105 million USD is 2 weeks net income, then that would suggest that their yearly net income is 2.7 billion USD. Yet their operating profit was 4.1 billion USD - that would suggest that their cost of goods and operating expenses are negative.
Or mandate that if a company if given a government fine then the directors/executives of that company are not allowed to receive *any* bonuses or share options for that financial year. Hit the executives where it hurts.
I thought that one mitigating factor *might* be that America probably has more people living in desert climates than Europe, but looking at List of countries by energy consumption per capita it appears that Northern European countries use more energy than the Mediterranean countries. I guess heating outweighs aircon costs.
However you look at it, the US use more energy than any European country (except Luxembourg - I have no idea what the hell they're doing).
...providing you press the right buttons in the right order.
That would it explain why it preheated my arse, singed the seat and then wiped all my songs.
That's true, but Germany is a net exporter (to the tune of 38.4TWh) - they only countries they import electricity from is France, Sweden and the Czech Republic (some years Denmark). In 2014 it exported about the same as France, but imported almost twice as much as France.
One thing I don't like about that chart is that it doesn't tell you who is a net importer or exporter - the outer ring only shows the total exports (not net).
Let's just file that under "yeah, that really happened", it started off quick believable - up to the end of the 3rd paragraph.
Making coffee?
I have a problem with that attitude - I see it all the time in work - the bordering on pride that people have when they can't use a device (especially a computer).
All he had to do is say let's use both and 1-see the difference in readings and 2-show me how it works.
FTFS: ". The failure occurred at 2,000 pounds of force, and the struts were rated at 10,000 pounds of force". We don't know what the maximum force expected is.
As for more struts, when you look at the Soyuz interstage lattice, I wonder what would happen if just one those failed...
It sounds like it was a rebranded Kerlington Model Rockets and Paper Products Inc. strut.
"The EAS-4 Strut Connector (frequently referred as "space tape") is a part that allows linking two parts together..."
Not an electronics guru, so I couldn't comment on that. I'm guessing that's for analogue signalling. How about for digital?
AudioQuest - RJ/E Ethernet – Diamond:
DIRECTIONALITY: All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to Network Player.
And in Australia, Bruce is in charge of the sheep dip.
I came across this blog when I Googled "Ethernet cable directional"

My first thought was that it had to be joke, but I had a quick look at the rest of the site and they appear to be serious. They also sell a 3m "Chord Indigo Tuned ARAY streaming cable" Ethernet cable for 1,820 GBP. I really don't know what to think anymore.
Boeing also don't make small business jets, so clearly there's not a market for them either. Better tell Gulfstream, Bombardier & Cessna to give up.
