[Closed] Job - fox racing

Ach. I thought you meant trying to out-run some wild canines!

Tally ho

Hmmm

Didn't realise they made stuff for the military. .... bit less keen on them now..

" sorry mr taliban, I can't chase you today, I had to send my forks away for a service"

I'm sure they understand...

What? I give up.

My 2p;

1) I find someone who styles themselves 'eviljoe' complaining about this quite funny 😉

2) Don't buy a camelbak, Goretex, etc etc if military applications of products available to civilians bothers you.

Hope you don't use a Camelbak then....

:EDIT: too slow 😳

........... or ever fly anywhere

...Or Oakley, or ordnance survey maps, Thermarest mats, Land rover, Harley Davidson, skittles, tabasco, yorkie, coca cola etc etc etc.

No, don't use a camelbak. As far as I can remember don't own any goretex.... but yes it is way easier to hold principals than to adhir to them.

'Evil' was a nickname given to me with a fair degree of irony!

Yes, I am aware that products developed for the military trickle down to civilian use, and we are often thankful that they do. But usually the military demand a high level of reliability and a long time between services from their kit? If fox can make a 'fit and forget' shock for military use, why can't they do it for ours?

THAT is a very good point!

because the DoD pay about a million dollars for each one probably?

That is also a very good point.

Also don't forget, no using GPS, devloped and run by the Pentagon.

I've met eviljoe. He's definitely not evil. Just so's you know.

That's a little arbitrary. How do we know what your reference scale is based upon? Have you created a zero and maximum value anchored to SI standards?

Well, on an empirical scale of Mother Teresa to Hitler, Joe comes in at round about a Martin Luther King and a half.

so,

slightlyevilbutnotreallysoasyouwouldnoticejo

I'd say

mostlygoodbutnotweirdlysokindaflawedlikeanyoneintheworldjoe

don't ever use GPS either.
