No because you seem biased to keep it and can control the outcome of the bet. Anybody willing to take a bet that my keyboard is going to evolve radically or disappear altogether in my lifetime?

sspyder | 9 years ago | on: Rolls-Royce’s single-crystal turbine blade casting foundry

Not to take away from the engineering marvel that these parts and process represent, but the timing of this article is interesting - seems PR related. I recently read about problems ANA faced with Rolls Royce engines, specifically the turbine blades failing. There have been at least 3 incidents of engine failure, flights have been cancelled an all 787 engines have to be retrofitted with new blades.
