I can't even hardly buy a pencil made in China that works for it's intended purpose for any length of time. I don't think Chinese are incapable of...
It's amazing to me how few truly successful businesses there are in relation to the number of people who know a better way. Even truly knowing...

When it's really cold, just turning it to the lowest setting (60°F) seems almost hot. I wish it could go lower for hypermilers. When it's 30...
