One movie that I had decided to watch using the X12 was the recent big-budget science-fiction movie ‘Ready Player One,’ Steven Spielberg’s wild opus about virtual reality. ‘Ready Player One’ features many bass-heavy set pieces such as King Kong chasing the ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean through Manhattan, a giant naked lady attempting to kill the protagonists with an over-sized axe through the Overlook Hotel hedge maze from ‘The Shining,’ and a massive battle between the Iron Giant and Mechagodzilla in the movie’s frenetic finale. This was all set to Alan Silvestri’s energetic orchestral score and a plethora of pop music. At the relatively high volume at which I watched this movie, the Defiance X12 gave the film’s sound mix a convincing, realistic impression, even though most of it took place in a blatantly artificial environment. Thanks to the X12, I felt the thundering ground as cyber armies clashed and the titanic shudder of King Kong smashing a massive bridge. All of the various weapon blasts, explosions, and vehicular collisions were rendered with an appropriate amount of force but also composure. While the sound mix is filled with all kinds of low-frequency effects, the X12 did not turn the bass into an indistinct booming mess that I think a lesser subwoofer would have done. It could be powerful at one moment and faint at the next moment, so it responded equitably to the sound mixes’ dictates. Watching ‘Ready Player One’ with the Defiance X12 proved that it was as adept with movie sound mixes as it was with music mixes, and that is very much a positive attribute.

6 – American voters lined up to deliver their verdict on President Donald Trump in the U.S. midterm elections following a campaign marked by fear, falsehoods and division. The Republicans made gains in the Senate while Democrats turned the tide in the House of Representatives, forming a majority that gave them more power to subpoena cabinet members, investigate the president’s ties to Russia and compel the release of his tax returns.

25 – The Russian coast guard fired upon and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels sailing from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov. Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014, charged that the Ukrainian boats entered its territorial waters without permission. World leaders condemned what they described as unjustified use of force by Russia and urged it to release the ships and their crews.

These are obviously tiny steps considering the vast expense associated with building EV infrastructure, but they’re at least something.

12 – U.S. President Donald Trump’s former lawyer was sentenced to three years in prison. Michael Cohen’s lawyers argued that he should be spared jail time because he co-operated in multiple federal investigations involving the president. But the Federal Court judge said Cohen deserved a harsh punishment for crimes including evading $1.4-million in taxes, lying to Congress about his talks with Russians and arranging illicit payments to silence women who posed a risk to Trump’s presidential campaign.

But that does not happen.  Instead, the entire ship is built at Papenburg.  Why is that?  Because Western societies have developed advanced manufacturing techniques that are not duplicated or duplicable in less advanced societies. A 140,000 ton cruise ship is incredibly complex.  They are built in "modules," sections of 1,000 tons each, all finished with the plumbing and wiring and all the complicated parts and for all I know the toilets and paint and even the carpets already installed, the module then welded into place in sequence. In Romania or Poland you would first lay the keel, then attach the frames, then weld on the hull plates, then build the internal walls, and add the machinery, and then start to figure out the pipes and the wires, it is all cut and piece it together as you go along.  Doing that it would take you 15 years to build that cruise ship.  So it cannot be done.

8 – The deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century swept through the northern California community of Paradise, about 290 kilometres north of San Francisco. Tens of thousands of people scrambled to flee the fire, which destroyed nearly 14,000 homes and killed 85 people. Several lawsuits had been filed against Pacific Gas and & Electric Co. by the end of November, alleging it could have prevented the fire. The cause remained under investigation but the utility had reported an outage on a transmission line near the time and place where the fire began.
