I agree he was a good poster. He had unconventional ideas and did a good job expressing his foundation and support for those ideas. He was a strong part of the forum while he was active.

PS. Richwicks was a stupid cunt who, among other things, believed that out-of-round balls in a ball bearing would "grind itself in a proper shape", that North Sream was in the Black Sea, constanly put historic events out of sequence, etc.

Assaultive internet source Nazi for everybody else, nada for self. The way he attacked specific topics and posters and tried to overwhelm them glowed a bit. Oppositional defiant pointlessly for care, maintenance and further shrinkage of vestigial Overton windows. Hysterical dox threatener. Negligible sense of humor.

However, he could code, so that exonerates all faults.

It will fatigue the raceway and cause excessive prolonged vibration which will damage the other balls

speaking of North Stream, recall the smirk on Anthony Blinken's face when he stated Germany can recover from the destruction of that pipeline by buying American LNG
