    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Yeah, "simple conversion" my ass. 1 liter = 1 kg. That is easy.

    Much less useful when you want to measure out an ounce of weed, or measure in pounds for any other reason.

    The largest civil engineering project in Europe gets underway; London Crossrail, at a cost of £16bn (US$25bn), which is a tunnel crossing London East to West, and links the two financial centres; The City and The Docklands.

    Eight enormous Tunnel Boring Machines have been bought from German manufacturer Herrenknecht, who will buy them back after completion.

    At a cost of £10m each, and weighing nearly 1,000 tonnes, they are impressive pieces of kit.

    Boring is expected to progress at a rate of around 100m per week, and will have to navigate existing sewers and road and Underground tunnels.

    I wonder how often they have to replace the borehead.

    With exception of the British currency I don't need ounces or pounds for any of those, grams do the trick quite well.
    How many liters convert to 1£ anyway?

    Just wait till the £ drops a little bit more and we get that record back

    I don't believe they do. I remember watching a discovery show where they replaced one of those white disk like things on a similar machine. I believe those do the bulk of the cutting/digging, and when one wears down they replace it.

    More realistic versions of Disney females behind the link; pretty cool stuff.
