Linear scale reasons.

They measure the same thing. But they scale it differently, so they must meet somewhere. One, for some crazy reason, has decided the freezing and boiling point of water aught to be exactly 100 units apart. Where the other, sensibly, uses a really cold day in Danzig Germany because the AIR feels cold at that temperature, and what the natural resting point of the human body temperature is, separated by 96 units so as to make the scale easier to make in a lab.

There’s only two classes. Working and wealthy.

If you can’t afford to live without working, them you’re working class. If you could quit your job and maintain a decent lifestyle, you’re not working class anymore.

Who do you think financed and supported those rebels?

Imagine all of those straws in a single pile. 3000 tons of straws.

Now imagine a pile 200 times larger. That’s what the fishing industry is doing.

We’re moving sand piles while they’re building pyramids.

I have a plan. Bear with me here. Requires only a cursory understanding of basic construction and late 18th century French revolutionary methods.

The first rule of working around forklifts is never trust the load. The second rule of working around forklifts is never trust the driver.

That’s actually a great idea. I’ve always been a fan of the Browns.

So, strictly speaking, I am allowed to?

The caveman part of my brain says that you’re a grugn, bash!

Frankly his decorum is improving.

… Deal. But I reserve the right to turn the upper peninsula in to my own personal resort.

In my experience most engineers spend too much time worrying about the wrong modes of death.

Yes Brian it’s critical the coil is centered on the hob, but it weighs 1500 pounds and will go where it wants to so for the love of God do not attempt to stop it from swinging again.

I was helping this dude get a punch press set up, and the crane hadn’t been installed yet, so I was using a forklift with a crane attachment to load the coil. It was, honestly, like my own personal trench run and I loved doing it, but this dude just runs up one time because it was swinging ever so slightly after a turn.

It would take a nearby black hole to move the coil off of center on this hob, it is self centering. That’s the whole point of the hob.

Frowned upon but not strictly against the rules?

Oh are we doing kings now?

Vote for me for King, I’ll make sure there’s a taco truck on every corner.

Why … Ummm… Why are they lumpy?

I don’t believe that’s an accurate statement. Ctrl Alt Del had, and apparently still has, some pretty militant critics. It always has. Everything I’ve been able to find is threads of unrepentant cruelty directed at Tim Buckley with very little context, generally leaning on the loss comic. The obsession is a little weird, to be honest.

Only fiscally conservative when it’s others getting the hand outs. Everyone loves their own hand outs because they’re fantastic and completely justified.

We literally just want healthcare
