There's no Great Evil conspiracy against consumers within engineering, manufacturing and supply. Just the many tradeoffs incurred to satisfy diverse tastes, priorities and wallets. But first comes all the insatiable Gummint eggsperts, nanny-staters and usual suspects.

This pic did make me smile.
I Remember searching through the library, by topic.
People these days have a device in their hand that gives them access to more information, and easily/faster then ever before, yet social media has some of the dumbest people known to breathe.

What made me smile? The latest questions in the stoopid question of the day thread...

Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours on Fire Ground, a Hazzard Reduction Burn. I was tasked with our CAT1 Tanker, refilling the smaller vehicles(Cat 7 & 9's), along with patrolling the roads to prevent any spot fires.
Members of our brigade have been planning this event for two years.
Last Sunday I attended as 85 ha were burnt to start this action of protecting these properties & assets, yesterday nearly 50 acres. Weather dependant next weekend another parcel of land will be burnt.
We had a wind change that was unexpected which cause some concern to one farm house & multiple machinery sheds, having some 15 appliances attending, this was brought under control rather quickly to the properties owners relief.
In the last two outings, I have been fortunate to be teamed with members who have been RFS Members for many years, who can read the situation and have taught me a great deal.
I've completed my RFDO, so I am able to drive the CAT1, Operate the pump. The CAT1 has a water canon on the front of it, this enables us to attack a fire without getting out of the vehicle and entering a smokey environment.
Just about to head out again and mop up.
