The management was mostly of the opinion that gas prices would come down eventually, so there was little interest initially in making anything more efficient. Also, since small, efficient, cheap cars had miniscule or negative margins, there was a belief that competing in that market was optional.
There's artistic merit in historic industrial design & engineering, and keeping those things in an operational state; for which I am willing to tolerate the occasional puff of blue smoke.
Funny, that.
(surprised pikachu face)
I doubt that the recommended storage conditions for qic tapes were much different from the above; and I've seen a system boot from a qic-120 tape that had been kept in a non-climate controlled ministorage locker in Santa Fe NM for 17 years.
"weird" is two years ago. Time to update your firmware.
A friend's cousin was a CH-53 pilot out of MCAS Miramar. One day, he was telling us, someone didn't properly secure one of the (chairs? racks? don't know the rotorcraft term...)in the cargo hold. The doors were open, and they were flying above the desert at a few thousand feet when...one of the aluminum & webbing chairs got sucked out the window and hit a rotor.
The number & intensity of the warning lights in the cockpit, and the accompanying alarms when that happens is pretty spectacular. The pilot knows right away.
Gibson was horrified after walking out of a theater after seeing Blade Runner; in that Scott had visualized and shown onscreen the aesthetic of (at that point unpublished) Neuromancer.
Time was, mercantilist countries would use foreign colonies for resource extraction; and sell the goods manufactured with these resources back to them.
It was great for everyone!
The short answer is, Stellantis mgmt. takes the US market for granted, and is indifferent to what it wants, and is actively contemptuous of its US dealer and customer base.
This has been a continuous problem for mass-market European brands in the US.
Remarkable as to how the creaky cold-war relics of the US Defense-Industrial complex are recapitulating the failures of late Soviet manufacturing (complete with fantastic predictions of success by the nomenklatura!); but at least the Russians would've had the good sense to just build a bigger 1950s forging facility if they needed more shells.
This is an excellent way to have yr. campus infosec ppl shut the network port on said server, and then take the hardware to get its OS install scrutinized, and get your accounts locked in the process.
Don't do this.
Engine of a lawnmower, brakes of a Rolls-Royce, etc.
Sad that it's necessary, but it's still a shitty environment. That employers foist it on their employees doesn't make it better.
>I also wonder how they didn't come across X Forwarding at all?
Xforwarding over VPN+residential broadband sounds like a great way to ...not use any sort of gui app.
You asked about energy usage; but I have no idea as to how that bakery's natural gas usage affects the people surrounding it.
The smell of freshly baked fig newtons might offset the possible increased cost of gas-per-cubic-foot.
