Yea Finn, the next highest record was in 1997 at about PSI 260 +/-.

It hit PSI 401 at 12pm which was insane.

Another pic from facebook.

??? god damn…how long is this already going now?

[ronaldlsh]

About a week mate. And started going really bad on Monday.

Disgusting behavior. I hope some people have their asses handed to them over this.

[Giles]

That's supposed to make me feel better is it?

[toddjcoley]

Apple is like that too. Designed in California made somewhere else. I think most of the world is like that.>:(

Got hit by a sledgehammer named "the flu" Wednesday night… Couldn't move at all yesterday except to ralf... Feeling a bit better today but far from 100. I must say, I'm not a fan.

Their new Mac Pro is Designed Cali, Assembled USA.

Back to the OP tho, just because it's made in China doesn't make it bad, nor does it being made in the USA make it good. There's slave labour and minimum wage issues globally….Mega had a really good rant about this the other day...

[Megatron1505]

I did, and I also did a blog post touching on the very same subject 

[Snowy]

Care to link again please kind sir? :).

[Megatron1505]

If I supply the denim and fixings, I can produce  jeans in Los Angeles for USD12, there is no way that is ethical…

[Megatron1505]

In Los Angeles? Really?

[Giles]

Yes

[Megatron1505]

Thats incredible, and as you say surely not ethical. I'm amazed that can happen in the USA, I guess it is the big argument for the minimum wage  :-\

[Giles]

I have to believe most of the workers are illegals….

[scroogen]

Argument for minimum wage or a testament to real American efficiency ? 

How many pairs would you have to order to get to 12$/pair

[Megatron1505]

Stitch a "crafted in the USA" tag on and sell for $300….... capitalism in action
