Whats the fucken point eh?
You're tiny too remember.....
Im shortYou're tiny too remember.....
OK, you were tiny until you got fat….
Not so much fat, more dense....OK, you were tiny until you got fat….
Gotta be there for 8.00 am but could be anytime. Dont even know if im in overnight, one nurse said in and out same day and another said in for a few nights.. great system we have. As always i cant sleep, nothing to do with the pending op, not fussed about that, just ya standard insomnia...Awww, don't be like thatwhat time is the Op?
Take a look at this video, 'faithless insomnia' https://share.google/YSg7v2nZdFIZecMi3

Pinch of salt, but pretty accurate;
You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) stretch to 2029 (source: McCoy). Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every Al data centre needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They
bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part.
Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape
of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

Typical. How am I supposed to keep my Rover JET1 on the road now?
That might be the single most sensible thing I have seen come from you. Perhaps the only thing
