Klaus will still nail someone’s wife… but it’ll probably be when he forgets to put his forks up to secure a pallet of actual nails

the weenus is a dance

as a mechanic working in a hodgepodge US/EU factory line, I have to suffer through always carrying double the tools to service metric and SAE machines. and after so many years in the industry, I still slip up and say 3/16 when I mean 3/8 sometimes, because fractions are a shit system for wrenches.

oh, and some of our linear encoders readout decimal-feet, because fuck it, why not?

distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I’ve had great results with it

you fans sure are a contentious bunch

Somebody gained a job programming and servicing that mow-bot; maybe even a whole team. Maybe the original driver wrote the path and manages it now.

I get the sentiment, and agree that there’s value in keeping labor jobs reserved for people who need them, but using automation isn’t inherently evil.

When my company moved our production operations to automatic lines and robots, they promoted everyone to machine operators, taught new skills, and paid out more. It may not be the way every company handles the change, but it can be done, and it’s a better path forward than forcing people to accept a life of hard labor.

the most intimate thing a person can do, is to wash someone else’s hair

I was saying boo-urns…

lousy smarch weather

sure, I’ve played Dark Souls. never dug too much into the lore, though…

instead of plugging that mental image into existence, you should not

such a good X-Files lanpoon. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were actually in it, too. great crossover episode for the era.

same size top/bottom for both; only difference is that the standard has a wider body bevel, and the sleek can goes nearly straight down. same lid on both cans, as well. not sure what it does for the scaled material cost, but since the lid is by far the most expensive part, it’s probably negligible, compared to the ability to inflate the price on a taller can.

I can’t fully explain the trend, but ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages are a big hit for the industry, and even moreso when presented in the truly/high noon shape. maybe it’s a generational thing? I don’t get it, but I’m also not the target demographic.

bonus fact: the conversion costs of filling sleek cans is pretty steep for most independent brewers, so craft beer will take a couple years to adapt, if ever.

and both of those cans use the same size lid
