Kind of hard to see how that works. For repairs they're paying for, sure, they pick the shop. They continue to warranty the parts.
But for non-warranty work? How is using a rebuilt door handle assembly going to affect the drivetrain? A junkyard fender? An aftermarket bumper cover? (half the value of all body work is bumper covers and paint).
That both of them are 'opportunistic whore baggers'?
Duh, they're politicians and men. _Either_ is sufficient proof...I'm pretty comfortable with my 'inner dog', you may have seen me advocating for 'total darkness' (where she's beautiful and I'm handsome) in previous posts.
I'm even going to go out on a limb and say that my candidate, Vermin Supreme, doesn't turn down much pussy either. Could be wrong.
I hope not. Mold making is hard, Laptop chassis are not simple parts, some of the molds will be complicated.
If they try and learn as they go, they will go broke on that effort. Outsourcing mold making is very common. They won't have the volume to justify hiring anybody qualified full time, so they're going to outsource it. The only question is how much super expensive scrap metal they generate first.
I can't imaging they'll even have the volume to justify having an in house injection molding machine. A laptop chassis isn't going to be shot on the smallest machines.
Unless they're making a lot more laptops then I think, I think they should grab the opportunity to be better. CNC the chassis' out of aluminum, anodize them custom colors, factory engrave them. Perhaps invade toughbooks space, perhaps just make them extra shiney.
Send out 'limited editions' to artists for decoration (get the 'special one', with toejam under glass).
Fabs typically last 2 generations of process. Intel has fabs all over the world. I don't keep track. Last I knew (a long time ago), the Oregon fabs were CPU/process prototype and debug.
'Mostly' is a bold claim, most by what measure? Intel makes an assload of integrated circuits beyond x86 processors.
I'm sure there are many thoughtless morons working for Facebook that _were_ surprised by this. They shouldn't have been, but what can you say, morons.
They still don't get it, they think: It's not that what they were doing was bad, it's that the evil 'Drumpf' people came in and 'used them' and their data for bad things.
On axle hydraulic motors are common. In heavy equipment. Where wheel and tire weight is measured in tons and they have no suspension except the tire sidewall.
Easier, but not nearly as cool. If you could turn the steering wheel, they'd all 'donut' quite nicely, might get up to a respectable RPM. But that might inhibit the tires catching fire, which would be OK, enough would get hung up and burn.
He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!
Your right, this is tame compared to Swaggart and the twink with the megachurch in Colorado...old what's his name? They're just entertainment that keeps on giving.
If your not a thumper, it's been obvious for a long long time. If you are? Well they're forgiven, Swaggart being back is just SOP.
As the poster notes, so long as the Europeans held the governments they did OK at resource extraction. He's wrong there was any wealth there to begin with. Dirt becomes ore when you have the technology.
But since then, it's a 100% money pit. Investment/burn cycles run decades.
De Beers group is about the only one left making money, because they just pay off the dictators. Even that's ending. They were just extracting sunk costs for a century or so.

You listed heavy equipment, buses, concept cars and one that they had made three of.
'Three' is not production, 'three' is not street legal anywhere. DOT makes you destroy more than three, just to be considered.
Bet there are golf carts and forklifts too. Also not a production car.
That's a no. No production cars.
Do you think there might be a reason for that? Hint: It's upthread, 'unsprung mass'
Idiot AC fails at reading comprehension, again.
These are a self selected group. Not a random sample.
I'd take the opportunity to just fire the lot, or even better, trick a competitor into hiring them away from me.

The words you are looking for are: 'Resume stain'
But I don't think most of these clowns are aware enough to realize it yet. They are just virtue signalling.
_I've_ worked in mortgage banking, not for a broker, a bank...they aren't that picky...Trust me, they did, more than they knew.

They're catching shit from their SJW 'friends'.

Car manufactures? This century? Post Model T?

Perhaps, it changes year to year, but the wafers are then shipped overseas to be cut-up and packaged.

Trump/B. Clinton?
No it wouldn't. I know it's true.
Damn furry.
It would be the coolest virus of all times. But I bet they would just spin the wheels until the tires caught fire.
You'd have to pay, kids might make a little extra money. I bike that won't roll on the flat isn't helping you get around.
People fat enough that they should be charging all day, will be the last to consider it.
Jesus tits, not this again. Spend a second on wikipedia. 'Unsprung mass'
I know you're AC. But perhaps you don't want to be wrong all your life.
You forgot: 'run out of town on a rail'. Being in the middle of nowhere, naked, covered in tar and feathers is a key part of the punishment.
We'll see about that.
Truth is it wouldn't be worth the trip for me, even if I could score 400 in one trip. No way this survives long enough to get near me.
Post me a cite for that price for these batteries. Because I can easily hold $50 worth of Chinese LiPos in one hand. They won't get me far on a bike.

I don't want to steal one. I want 400. Because I'm a geek and can put them to good use.
I doubt they're only $50. How much did you spend on batteries last year?
And yet, the only nation in Africa that isn't a complete shithole is the one where Europeans ruled the longest.
Even there, the current rulers can't help themselves.
No.
