ROLAS

Люблю всякие головоломки. Зная это, мне подсунули две недавно купленные приспособы для рукоделья. Человек, а может и целый отдел работали над тем, как бы сделать катушку с нитками, где нитку будет легко найти, и она не будет разматываться. В другоам случае умное решение для хранения иголок. Секрет работы раскрывать не буду, дабы другие смогли предстать гениями. Многие могут пожаловаться, что данный продукт продаётся без инструкции. А как иначе мы бы смоли помочь?

Давно я не покупал билеты на поезда. Помню, что на до ещё докупать сидячие места. А детям презд бесплатный. Посмотрел чем и куда ехать. Ввожу станцию прибытия, время отбытия и тыкаю на "оплатить". Сумма всего 60 кронн. Малавато. Иду в поддержку. Там мне говорят, что билет до Леголанда вообще не туда надо брать. И направляют в место, где люди продают билеты. Оказалось, что я купил билет только на сиденье, а сам проезд не оплатил. Ещё и ребенку надо брать место для сидения, а сам билет бесплатный. Доплатить пришлось 584 кронны. 554 за билеты взрослым и 30 за сидячее место. Но и тут запара. Сидячее место ребенку дали в другом вагоне. Но с извинениями поменяли и дали аж 4 места. Подошёл к автомату с билетами, и опять вбил Give st. На этот раз цена на экране была другой. 692 кронны. Я попробовал ещё раз, и осознал. У людей покупать дешевле.

Some Masters are so funny. Back in the days I thought that they are smartest people on the ship. Those days have gone by, ages ago. I understand that things done by ship guys are shocking for office guys. And that is normal. If you want to arrive to some place on your car later, you have several options: drive slower, or stop in convenient place. But who on Mother Earth will drive back one hour in order to kill 2? l've got an answer. Seamen. We stopped with one Captain to catch some fish, another guys wanted to swim in the warm equatorial Pacific Ocean. That's fun. But why do some 180-degrees turn? Full steam ahead. Sail for an hour and steer in the right direction again. Just drop few revolutions and everyone would be Happy. Less annoying vibration, quiter environment... Less bunker consumption.

One of the saving initiatives is sailing vessel with submerged bow. Studies have been done to evaluate this. I personally believe in that. There is a problem. And it is human nature again. For some it is hard to turn their mind upside down and accept new way of loading and sailing. But there is a hazard of another heartless bitch. Gravity. Waterstream is not going uphill. How can you wash the ship? Vessel is washed from Bow to Stern and from Monkey Island to Main Deck. Some may say that why not to wash from Stern and follow the inclined deck.  Well my dear reader, I am afraid to disappoint you. The relative wind will spray dirty water all over the shipside. So one more cost-saving initiative is crashed because Seafarers can't  wash deck.

It is hard to look at the price tag of T-Shirt when you know transport cost for it. From Asia to Europe it is only 2,5USD cents. Pretty cheap ha? Cause that price was softened by amount transported from one part of the world to another. Though the total price for bringing vessel through several seas can escalate to 1 mln USD. These are different costs. The major spending is FUEL. Companies are working on many different solutions. Dozens of smart people investigating sea waves, hull resistance in different conditions. Performance guys monitor graphs on a daily basis saving every drop of oil, every gramme of CO2. But they are doing it remotely. Thus it is not efficient. Their biggest challenge is the vessel's crew. When vessel is not underway, the main engine is not working. It's that simple. Imagine situation that vessel was instructed to arrive in point "P" to pick up Pilot at 22:00. Vessel was on track doing 18 knots. 2 hours prior arrival(I'll ...

А теперь история как искренняя улыбка и хлоднокровие может сэкономить 700 крон. Недавно Гугл добавил велосипедные дорожки для Копенгагена. Первый предложенный маршрут проложился через весь Строгет.(Гугл уже пофиксил). Его дистанция незначителько превысила мой привычный путь на работу. Но отсутствие людей и машин значительно повышают шансы на выбор данной дороги утром. Погода была привычная - моросило. Посреди Строгета на мотоцикле караулил страж порядка. Наши взгляды встретились. Я притормозил и дождался зелённого света. Продолжил пересечение дороги не слезая с велика. Человек в форме недовольно Бибикнул он в мой адрес и бросил в меня фразу на непонятном мне языке. из-за пересечения зебры с велосипедом между ног. Я подъехал пообщаться. В добавок к пересечению пешеходного перехода на колёсах, ещё он сказал, что по Строгету не стоит кататься. Есть лазейки, типа подвезти в магазин, или нщё чего доставить. Я начал ссылаться на Гугловское нововведение, отме...

People are intimidated when they buy sex related staff. One would also be uncomfortable to say straight the exact purpose of purchase. Then you have to use language that is not your native.  Funny situation happened in a drug store. We wanted to buy a "pipette" or a "medicine dropper". The lady in front of us was there to get something more personal. There are small differences between meaning of verbs "to grease" and "to lubricate". It was a pleasure with a smile to observe buy-sell people interact using wrong words. I think that assistant in the shop had better understanding of word "Greaser", but she was having hard time trying to imagine what should be greased and for what reason. I was dying to see that lady to start demonstrating the procedure of applying and necessary effect of magic greaser. Helpfully, there is not much on the shelves in that shop and very soon the tube with lube was handed to our hero. Seeing the name...

Elevator is a great invention. It eases lives of lazy and scales the world down to people who lost or never had ability to ascend or descend. It can also be used transfer heavy things. There is also a cost to use and maintain such smart piece of equipment. The price suddenly becomes unjustified when greedy approver never uses things. Especially when these end users are young and strong cadets. So, all four Elevators were lifted to the top floor and off the power. The life still goes on and rubbish collects on each floor. Every day garbage has to be thrown away. Nobody knows who invented express bin in the shaft of elevator #1, but it was much easier to drag bucket and empty it in to the open door, then to walk many floors down the stairs in sometimes cold and rainy yard. I was on duty, when Major "Pilot" ran into our station. He was shouting "Smoke, Fire!". We followed him. There was a lot of smoke from the door on the second floor and signs of spreadi...

It happens so often that achieving above high results requires spending unproportionally enormous amount of recourses. Whether it is time, money or something else. It is a fact that to increase from 90% load to 100% on the vessel you must spend more than 10% of fuel and the result will not be 10% boost in speed. Thus, there is a niche of high-end devices where I personally can't justify extra cost. The price and material of the power cable coiled around my neck can compete with jewelry. It is hand made and it is silver. And apart from wearing it, you can actually power very expensive sound system, considering that power source is also providing steady stream of energy. But I have an issue. I will not walk around with that thing on me, and I do not have device above that 2m wire's price point(1500$) to get benefit of that cable. Sound is a very deep media. A lot of details can be missed when output device is not capable to produce quality waves. I ...

Let me share my experience with MDNA Tour concert at Carlsberg stadium. Pitch of Home team. Kobenhavn DK. Tickets were purchased online 5-6 weeks prior the event. It is not possible to choose the seat number. From the stadium's plan on the webpage it looked promising. However that was the picture from the seat. C10, Row 18, Seat 140. In this particular Section seat that are between 135 and further should be avoided. Because of that ugly support. Project Manager of that should be hanging there. Planned entry time was 18:00 and concert had to start at 20:00. Gates opened shortly before 19:00 and the real show, for which people have come started at 22:10. Warm-Up was delegated to local DJ Solveig. Access to the network via 3G was not possible due to enormous amount of people with smart phones. Warm-up was ok. Carlsberg sold more beer. People became happier. There was 30-40 minutes brake between singing DJ and performer everybody was waiting for. The erected stage was...

Far away across the ocean, Many miles from current place You'll put career into motion And will give it a new pace The bridges You're burning, But You won't use train In case of returning You're having a plane. The Man has no wings, Though we've learned how to fly. You know all these things. Thus, not saying Goodbye I wish You good luck, My collegue and my friend. No words, I am stuck. Poem came to its end. My greetings to You, and I wish You good trip. Sincerely Yours, Project Manager Glib.
