  1. Mazda's engine achieves a compression ratio of 14 to 1 which I think is spectacular.

    Given that ZIP has an average compression ratio of 2.64 to 1 and RAR has an average compression ratio of 3.23 to 1, I'll have to say that Mazda has done a spectacular job indeed. Will it be available for macOS?

  2. Isn't it a bit late to post that? I'm betting most of us are reading this on wednesday morning, after said lunar eclipse has happened.

    REAL 'diversity' means saying "IDGAF whether you're white, black, yellow, red, male , female, or purple with pink polka-dots, EVERYONE gets treated EXACTLY THE SAME". Quit being childish.

    When it comes to racism, you hear people say, "I don't care if people are white, black, purple or green." Hold on, now, purple or green? Come on now, you gotta draw the line somewhere.
