The factory has an entirely different scale with the trains, and adapting to that is difficult in refactoring the factory. I think on new playthroughs I'll build out to a train oriented factory, moving new production units further away

The airlines are one of the few industries where almost everyone comparison shops for each and every purchase. The list of airline bankruptcies is very very long as are the new entrants. Sure if you fly to some very small destinations you w

I see you've never met my coworkers: Akamai does employ a number of people with very long experience in the IETF world. There is quite a bit of bad ideas the people pop up to propose time and time again, because they don't get why

The irony is you are posting this on an article about Bach. For about 200 years if people said Bach they meant C.P.E., not J.S. It wasn't until Mendelssohn performed the St. Matthew Passion that people began to reevaluate their attitud
