Her being distant already belies the fact that she's withdrawing (love vs. in-love). He's either a very abrasive person, or a bit ocd and antisocial (my guess). He doesn't know how to deal and figures this is just a final FU to her and she'll either snap back or cut and run. He's more or less done with it, so is she. Publishing it online just sealed it for both and sped it up. What would've been 6 - 12 months of a dying relationship has just been compressed to about 4 days.

Considering the heat I think these are a HUGE fire risk. Left unattended the vinyl will slump onto the bulb and it'll just get worse from there.

I'd put money on this being the beginning to the end of their relationship.

Wish they'd just make the full book so we could all have it on our shelves!

Alex, please stop trying to make it seem like the internet is a legitimate sinkhole for your time. Go outside and see if there is a sun and sky for yourself.

Most certainly they will. In many ways they're being forced to make very fast change and growth. They're taking risks with new buildings that the west would not dare for another 20 yrs.
I had a look after seeing this post. But I suspect his vision is very tunneled.

Musk knows that he has a product that no one will be competing with. The big three are so locked into fossil fuel that they have no personal incentive to change. They just released a commercial to tell everyone how not buying from a dealership will destroy your purchase and is evil. They're scared but unwilling to change. at least not at the rate Musk is pushing the envelope. Considering how fast Tesla upgrades their cars he has nothing to worry about. And the release will only encourage widespread tinkering only to increase the growth more. You and I cannot make a care at home. But we sure as hell can buy one, go one a few maker forums and add some things we'd like to see and we're all the happier for it. I think he's learned a lot from Space-X and how the group has quickly evolved the product far faster than committee ever could.
On a side note, I sincerely cannot believe this engineer guy even made this video let alone posted it.

Alex I think Lock-In refers to the failing product. Since it's locked into the slot and cannot grow or compete. Sony has done this so many times it's difficult to keep track. I'm often surprised they're still afloat. Even as recently as Sony memory sticks... just a few years ago NONE of their devices could use SD or any other more "common" memory. They had to use that stupid proprietary stick that was almost 8x/mb more expensive than SD. Then they wised up and had a few generations of dual devices that used both SD and memory stick. But I think they've finally stopped. Apple in it's hubris seems to think the rest of the world will have to adopt their standards. (Firewire, MiniDVI, Thunderbolt) and the iphone has recently pushed this. But we're seeing their lock-in tech slowly slitting their throat. Certainly the release of the firephone is going to see a huge faction of iphone drop off again. I don't think coffers of apple will keep them going and Sony has their games making money. It will be interesting to see how well both weather the next decade.

This guy really needs to go back in time and look at licensing. He's COMPLETELY off base on the reasons being tech related. He's comparing a betamax made in 1977/78 to a VHS made in 79. A year in tech does reduce weight. But big deal, you didn't carry the machine around.
The betamax died out in the mid 80's do to the same reasons MiniDisc, and 7" audio disks died. Sony kept the tech proprietary. The tapes, discs, whatever material had to be bought along with the machines, from Sony ALONE. At Sony's prices. Which are, even today, still at the top of the bar for consumer electronics. The VHS was licensed freely and had very strong competition driving down costs on both the machines and consumables along with raising competition for features on the machines. But Sony tech stagnated and did not continue to keep up with feature upgrades since they were not making the sales.
This simply a case of keeping too tight a hold and not having a strong enough brand to carry the price tag. Apple runs this risk as well. And, as competition increases giving other devices and OSes equal footing, Apple continues to loose market share. JUST LIKE Sony. It's simply a case of market econ.

Yes he can be more gruesome. He's tried to get doctors to surgically remove his nose and ears to complete the skull look. He's admitted to being very aggressive and enjoys fighting. The attention and money from the tats has calmed that though. They're bad tats. They took (all total) less than 24hrs to complete. That's a lot of real estate to cover in such a short time. I don't judge him on the tats, I do think he's an ass though from the interviews.
BTW the most tattooed man in the world is the old leopard man in the UK with 99.9% of his flesh containing ink. Zombie boy does not come close.
It is an incredibly effective ad.

Frankly I cannot imagine wanting to. What a waste.
