I, and most people who work on land, can large-step a metre pretty accurately. In forty years of trade I don’t think I’ve ever under ordered product after pacing an area and adding 10% wastage.
The only time we routinely use accurate, calibrated measuring equipment is for boundary disputes.
There’s an awful lot of down time when you do a stretch…
We’re not dropping out; we’re infiltrating and taking over accelerating the collapse.
Welding is like sewing. Any old mug can darn a sock… but to repair a historically important high quality silk sock to such a high standard that the repair is invisible to the naked eye takes an elite level of crafts(wo)manship that very few would ever attain. Not a perfect analogy but close enough…
Two alien species that know each other both independently deciding to invade Earth at precisely the same time by coincidence.
Honestly, don’t overthink it. It was just that, in my opinion, I thought your word choices were incongruous so I sought out your reasoning. Like I said, thanks for answering - I understand where you’re coming from; but don’t personally agree. There was nothing more to it.
Yeah, I thought that might be the gist for your reasoning. Thanks for the civil reply. Hope you didn’t mind me asking…
For the record I’m more towards the original poster’s view, the daily use of insults has transcended any deep rooted sexist connotations and we now live in a glorious linguistic free for all when it comes to insulting people.
I’m interested that you call out the use of one slur in one thread, for stated reasons, and then use the word “dick” in this thread… what’s all that about then?
Genuinely, am I missing something?
Not prepared to take that chance…
Every power tool I pick up has a quick vroom-vroom before I use it properly, just like the tongs. It’s tradition.
I’ve just read it in passing more than once… but some people like to throw buzz words around and generalise so that could be the case here.
Just wondered why anybody would think such a thing…
I initially thought .ml was literally the TLD for the nation of Mali - so was super confused.
Some people reckon we’re a Nazi instance… shrug emoji.
I’m not sure why - but have read it a few times. If someone in the know could clue me in if there is actually some back lore to the claim I’d appreciate that.
I could text from my pocket using a T9 keypad on Ericssons, Nokia or Motorola. Blackberry was the only handset I had to look at.
Yeah, it’s a bit of an exaggeration… but it’s still less than one three hundred and sixty fifth of the annual usage by the population of the country. And we’re not even bringing petrol / gasoline into the equation - as I understand it.
These numbers start to put fossil fuel usage into perspective.
Slow. Hand. Clap 👏
Great post.
If your maths is off I don’t think it’s off by much - those figures look roughly correct. Drop in the ocean.
