The Rules of the Universe

[mrk]

Buy cheap, buy twice.

This is a misused statement

BMW want £177 for one fuel injector for my car.

The exact same part is £33 online.

I will only need to buy it once.

See!

"The Anaion cannot escape a universe, and is thus an evolutionary dead end. As universes cluster in brane groups of 4, the flower--heads as it were, the machines' situation is laughable. However, it does not do well to condemn the lesser Geek who imagines to escape oblivion by being an internal memory or computational node of the Anaion. He simply cannot comprehend his utter irrelevance to the device. This is his specious species bias.

Our chief concern therefore must limit itself to the potential programmability of the interuniversal medium. In particular, to reduce its opiate effects on the perceiver as a first priority."

The key part there is the same part. You are buying the same part from the same manufacturer but have shopped around for the best deal.

Buying cheap would mean buying a lesser product because it was cheaper, not the same part from a cheaper source.

That wasn't the exact statement though, cheap could mean the same part, but cheaper. Not "a cheaper quality version" or some such

Technical clarification!

Over here, Dante's above-hell script:

"Abandon all hope ye who enter here"

means 'the only way outta 'hell' is by taking decisive action'. e. Consistent with it being the last evil in Pandoras' box.

Stupid is rife & it is everywhere, we even allow stupid people to make nationally important decisions without education. We also allow stupid people to run high office.

I've found at a rule, that if you drop a cable down on the floor when you come to pick it up it always seems to have tangled itself up despite being straight when put down.

Had a funny one in that respect - needed a part for my bumper - everywhere online wanted like £200+ was in Nissan having some other work done and just asked them for a quote out of curiosity as I expected it to be £LOL and they said £30 for the part, £20 labour (as long as I didn't mind waiting around/left vehicle with them all day - would have cost more for labour otherwise).
