One of my profs commented on FB that 2.3.3 is making his Ga-lazy SII use up battery life quickly however.Really? Coz my G SI seems to hv slightly better batt...

funny thing about the PRC intent of covering up.. in World War Z, the author also wrote it like that.. the PRCs tried their best to cover up their zombie outbreaks

The Chinese are good at reverse engineering....but taken from wiki:

China’s initial high speed trains were imported or built under technology transfer agreements with foreign train-makers including Siemens, Bombardier and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. However, Chinese engineers re-designed and further improved the internal components of the train in order for the train to run at much higher speed.

***

The train may have been improved but the infrastructure and the people doing the running are still the same. So....what's the point?

cardboard is lighter than steel so the power to weight ratio is vastly increased, allowing the train to run at much higher speed

Frankly speaking, you may not be too far off the mark.

Dollars to donuts say that the manufacturers tried to cut corners where they could. Perhaps slightly thinner steel here, remove a bolt there.... you get the point.

And the materials not able to withstand the speed and with lack of maintanence you get an accident

It's like the glass windows on their high rise buildings falling off and injuring people below :x

And of all things to learn....our side learns these things.

Here's what you get from having your bus body made from thin aluminium foil and getting it to bang the rear of the solid Continental-built bus...which suffered a big dent....that's all.

Seems like SBS had learned from this episode and went back to Continental-built bodies.

morning guys

this is a consequence of china's growth at any cost policy. more to come!

did I ever tell you guys about the red neck road rage case I was involved in back in canada ? ....

it's before I got my civic, when I was still driving the $900 self fixed plymouth .....

someone in a honking big new ford truck rear ended me at a red light ... my car was totally okay, even the bumper was undamaged .... the front end of his truck was smashed ....

maybe that's why he was so pissed, even though he was in the wrong ...

they don't make cars like they used to ...

Cars used to be tanks

Now they are aluminium cans

Fatum SG

they cost as much as a tank though .....

I was surfing the car sites just last week .... can you farking believe that a new nissan MARCH hatchback costs one hundred farking thousand less some change ?!?!?!?!?!

Its the trend for just about everything....even aircrafts and ships.

The USN learned their lesson from using aluminium foil when their spanking new ship literally melted to the keel from a fire. Now their ships are all made from high-grade steel. No questions asked.

From this to.....................

And the folks around the world are now playing with composite materials....some of which have been proven to be flammable (in accidents), and having questionable strength.

SBS2601D SG

Cheaper, lighter, faster.....but not necessarily better.

You could argue its because of concentrating on economic theory like marginal cost/benefit, but the same people should have taken into account hidden costs and expected depreciation if they were going to use that argument.

We bought a Killed In Action for $48K three years ago, and I wonder how much an equivalent new car will cost in another three years. But it's no surprise, whoever controls the number of COEs released should have acted years ago to reduce the vehicle population growth rate.

Most of the new cars are designed to be destroyed in a controlled manner in a crash to dissipate some of the energy, but not like the biscuit tins from PRC.

all they have to farking do ..... is to remove the taxis from the equation .....

why are the taxis bidding together with the private cars anyways .....

these are the farkers bidding $60k for each piece of paper ...

sbst275 SG

The flammable items was only to be found out later usually. Sad

Any case cheaper dun go with better always. Luckily SBS for one is going back to European body makes.

and they need to make the bidder pay what he bid.. so if the stupid bastard bid $150k, he pays $150k.. alongside the lowest bid which may be $50

sooo full sooo sleepy -____-

I posted wat I had with pics on my nom nom adventure thread...
