@wtjs Furthermore, Professor Sir John Charnley of Bury and Wrightington Hospital, Wigan, great benefactor of mankind for perfecting the total hip replacement, would object to the highly unstable hip joint shown here. It's bonded, no doubt, and equally doubtless kept failing without warning.

I run Dura Ace knees, as I love that they're lighter and that they need replacing within five years.

@mdavidford Are the joints only available in Ultegra and 105? Beware Shimano enthusiasts! This is a fraud, selling off obsolete stock. Metal-on-Metal replacement joints are long out of use as they result in tiny metal fragments and undesirable tissue reaction.

@yodhrin Tell us you haven't run a business without actually saying it. By all accounts (employee ratings, length of service) Brompton are a very good employer. Their ability to absorb massive employment tax driven cost increases is limited by the consumers in their biggest market who now have less money because everything they buy has gone up in price to offset employment and regulatory cost increases. Meanwhile the government bungs £1.5 at a miners' pension fund with another £1B announced on top of that etc etc etc. So no, it's not "executive pay and bonus structures".

Except that there isn't a 'specific sub-strand of left-progressive thinking that underpins DEI'. 'DEI' is literally just an initialisation of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and covers any policies and practices intended to enhance those. Those can come from all kinds of viewpoints, and there may be strong disagreement on what they ought to be. It certainly isn't a a subset of affirmative action - rather the reverse.

If I ever want my knees to bend sideways I'll opt for those.

@mdavidford I appreciate there's been a sincere effort over many years by people with certain opinions to conflate being against specific policies with just flat out being a bigot(admittedly helped along by some of the people who're against those certain policies), but it is actually possible to have a completely logically consistent point of view that is both left-progressive *and* against the specific sub-strand of left-progressive thinking that underpins DEI and other affirmative action policies.
