Laws of thermodynamics - size matters. A 660Mw set constantly monitored optimum temperature and load, with mandated exhaust filters
vs a car size oil burner that takes half an average journey to get up to temperature, never runs at optimum load (clunky gearbox), mainenance annually

Bone china was a solution to not being able to make hard paste porcelain from far east & meissien.
The use of bone ash dropped after foot & mouth and health and ethical concerns.
It's still made.
PS porcelain is from marco polo's italy when it was compared to a shell (cowry) like a small pig

I like that english ships paid Genoa to use the flag in the med thatsliguria.com/en/how-engla...
How England appropriated the Genoas flag!
In 2018 the mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci, asked the English Queen for paying 247 years of back taxes for the concession of the Genoa's flag that was not paid since 1771 (!!!)

Check you are not on a loose mat etc & can grab something solid if you wobble.
