now if only this was packaged as part of a conversion kit for ICEs. 3.5k$ would be a magic price. And a shop could similarly charge to retro it at that price. So hopefully 7k$ total. Mind you the work shops will bank even more with all the

Fascinating. Just from the title, would have expected the total opposite: Adolescents not sleeping properly because they are indoors too much and on the screen all day. Also generally degraded personal hygiene (dental mostly) because of the

My lucky guess is it'll be cheaper to have the planes in the air vs on the ground. IIRC every time a plane touches down its 10K$ and that rate for every X minutes it stays grounded. The driving force for environmental damage has always

Am a firm believer that a billion dollar company (Saas, etc) can be run with very sane and simple stack: - 1x web-server [$FOSS_or_COSS, iis] # COSS => commerical open source e.g caddy. nginx is both - 1x application-server [.net, ja
