Plimer and Silicon Chip

Common knowledge that you don't appear to have been able to access.

Mike is - of course - unemployed for health reasons. His winsome personality doesn't come into it. I'm 66 which means that I'm retired, rather than unemployed.

I never said that. Civilian planes were used for early training, while the early warbirds were being built. Why risk a new plane on a student pilot?

I stated that it came from a US refinery. What other process is used?

Yawn. The VA has stated that I CAN NEVER WORK AGAIN. They haven't stopped me from doing volunteer work on the days I'm able to leave MY house.

No more than we can do about the clueless trolls on any newsgroup.

Other countries have - and had - refineries. You get a better yield of high octane gasolene from light crude than you do from heavy crude, but there was nothing magical about US oil.

Which must be a relief to your former co-workers.

I take it that is an admission that I am correct on this point.

Other than it was availible, already refined and delivered to our allies. We wouldn't have taken it from our civilians and given it to other countries if they could have supplied enough for themselves. We did supply the high quality fuel needed for those engines, even if you won't admit it. Local crude supplies were cracked for other uses.

'retired'.

No, they liked to try to stump me with technical problems, but they never could. I'm sure they partied for weeks every time you were fired, though.

I'm not looking to share it. I don't ned to take in boarders to make ends meet. I sleep odd hours due to my failing health, and don't want people bugging me when I'm ill.

No, but you'll claim it anyway. Your ignorance and arrogance won't let you do anything else.

Having the combination of ignorance and arrogance is what sets Americans apart from the rest of the world.

Sigh. It wasn't up to the oil companies. The war board took most of it. If I were you, I would sue the school you went to.

Sigh. Can't you think for yourself? 'WE' is the people who want to use USENET to learn and trade ideas. Trolls like you just want to pick petty fights.

'retired'.

No, Bill. once again you claim to have knowledge of a subject that eludes you. In fact, after several of the older engineers retired, I was the in house expert on our oldest products. I also got the jobs for critical customers, like the KU band communications system we built for NASA to put aboard the ISS, or to transition a new design from engineering to the production floor. The last one I worked on was an $80,000 DSP based dual telemetry receiver with diversity. It was the Microdyne RCB2000. A single receiver version was the DR2000 that was built with a few of the same boards.

No, you don't understand anything, as usual. I spent two years mostly bedridden. I, too am at the retirement age. I probably only have a couple years left, and I intend to make the most of them. I can't sleep more than a few hours at a time. I am up in the middle of the night repairing computers to give away, or working on now information on several websites for free. I am involved in local Veteran's activities, including a live local radio show called Veteran's News'. I don't want someone else to have to put up with that. I have enough friends who visit, and check up on me and my health. Hell, I have an empty one bedroom cottage behind my house. I could rent it out, if I was allowed any income over my disability pension. If I let anyone stay there for free, they automatically gain 'Squatter's Rights' in Florida. Then it is impossible to get rid of them, without selling the property.

I never planned to retire and I will stay as busy as possible, for as long as possible. You simply have no clue, as usual. You just have a giant chip on your shoulder, and a hard-on for any American because they won't kiss your sorry ass.

You have made a fool of yourself for years on the other electronics groups, while bragging of your superiority. You don't fool anyone. Its obvious from your constant nasty attitude on those groups why no one wanted to hire you. There is no way that you could be pleasant long enough to impress any HR department. No one wants to work with an old grouch.

Until my health failed I could walk into any electronics related company and get a job. Sometimes after being told they weren't hiring. A couple times I was the one chosen over a hundred or more applicants. You claim age discrimination. I worked until companies decided I was too much of a insurance risk. If some has pre existing health conditions that can't be insured and a list of over a dozen medical problems, why would they want you? Walking with a can and having balance problems can cause accidents in the workplace, as well.

I was the top producer at my last job. They never put any task in front of me that I didn't complete, and none of my work ever failed QC. When my health got so bad that i couldn't work overtime, i was laid off. I have only been let go on one job in my life and that was after being unconscious for five full days when I caught the flu in the late '70s. You weren't allowed to miss more than three days without being in the hospital, or dead. I lost over 20 pounds in those five days and it took me six months to recover. I have never received one cent in unemployment, so yammer on all you want.
