I look and envy.
When this set was first released, I didn’t buy it. Then when I wanted it, I couldn’t find it. Then it began to cost many times more than its original cost. And I bought a separate tank and a separate 3D engine.
Conclusion: it’s better to buy and be happy than not to buy and then regret it.

To this day, I think the Krauss-Maffei folks are pulling our legs by designating a Leopard model as the 2A7V…

Fabulous. Thank you very much.
I watched 15 minutes so far (it’s already midnight), but I liked what I saw. I will definitely watch the entire video to the end.

It’s not just Bozoz. t’s FleaBay, Ali-Oop and the ever-growing list of scoundrels trying to gain access to your chedda.’ 
Shopping online has always been kinda’ like walking a mine field. Gotta’ be EXTRA on your toes these days. … Research, Tracking, Free Shipping and Free Returns do help somewhat. …

Well…Amazon tries anyway. Definitely, a buyer beware business.
FWIW
Wendy’s has a new dynamic pricing plan aka “surge pricing” to quickly raise prices during peak demand to maximize screwing over their hungary customers at meal time in the works. They say that isn’t their plan but their disclaimer sure sounds like standard issue corporate lies.

In short. Wendy’s wants to charge more during “Surge” hours, (lunchtime and dinner time) and change their menu on a whim, so they can get more profit.

Same as Season and Off-Season pricing for hotels et.c. even if ‘lunch hour’ is an extremely short and recurrent “season”.
“Optimize resource usage by adaptive pricing to encourage changes in customer behaviour”
It’s all in the naming isn’t it?
“After considerable public pushback, Wendy’s is now framing their dynamic pricing strategy as discounts during off-peak times instead of surge pricing during peak times …”
Happy Hour. Take an early or late lunch to catch the Happy Hour prices.
When customers catch on it will be similar to the Whac-a-mole arcade games

That is one of the funniest scenes ever.
Last deployment I was on two guys (Captains) across the hall one night were crashing and banging for 30 mins. I knock on the door and ask WTF are you two doing? Their reply in harmony “activities”, I couldn’t stop laughing at these two idiots….BTW one was a fighter pilot the other an aeronautical engineer.
I called them Cory and Trevor, two characters from The Trailer Park Boys.

My order from DSPIAE arrived. The tweezers are sharp, poked myself a couple of times using them. The fling power of parts is much greater, however fling frequency is greatly reduced.

Is that a DSPIAE crystal ball? You look in it to find what kit you can do now that you have new DSPIAE tools?
