       @reutersManufacturers may be obliged to offer the repair service but is there anything to stop companies from inflating the repair price beyond the level a consumer would expect to be reasonable?It wouldn't be difficult to show evidence that the cost of replacing a 10 year old washing machine motor far exceeds the value of a replacement machine, to deter consumer take up.

       @lowqualityfacts Given that Everest wasn't even a twinkle in the Eurasian plate's eye, until it bumped uglies with the Indian plate 33 to 55 million years ago, that fact may not be as low quality as it sounds.A thing that didn't could well be the size of another thing that didn't exist, 300 million years ago. I mean who's to say that is wrong? 👍​I do like that 'low quality fact', it made me look up a fact.

       This feels like a blast from the past.Back in the 80s, when I was doing my Mech Eng degree, I was taught to create engineering drawings by hand in a very similar way to this.Though back then we used propelling pencils with differenting lead diameters for the different lines on the paper.I still have all the stencils, squares, and the drawing table (though it is in storage now).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtchhV7aV7Q#EngineeringDrawing #Draughting #Engineering
