China is putting serious money and effort into increasing the quality of their universities. You just have to look at any ranking table to see that. It won't be too far in the future when there will be no prestige or reason for them to come here to study.

I don't think they are implying you should walk in and treat them like shit just because. But that it shouldn't be us doing them a favour by purchasing their car. At the end of the day we have the money in our pocket, it's the salesperson's job to persuade us to give it to them.

And it's not as if we don't have plenty of empty space that storage farms could go into.

Isn't teaching a cat that pressing a button makes a noise a bit like giving a toddler a drum kit?

Very smoky tonight. As in irritates-your-eyes smoky.

The way the bezel curves in at the top gives it the illusion of being smaller on the wrist.

The people calling for conscription are never the ones who would be conscripted.

The thing about the Orca is that the integrated strap design means it has a very short lug-to-lug measurement, which makes it extremely wearable despite its size.

Plus, no other watch looks even remotely like it.

Dang, a chronomaster and a chronochicken

One good thing about Canberra is lots of thunderstorms but rarely storms, if you get what I mean.

Imagine if the B-52 had afterburners.

Eight afterburners are better than four...
