This is fascinating!

Amazing!

I love it.

I love breaking stuff. We shoot stuff up a lot. But this is cooler.

When the metal stuff breaks you can see the sparks. Kinetic energy. When we would fire apfsds (armor piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot) rounds at metal target you could see sparks fly. This was not from an explosion… it was purely kinetic energy of extremely dense metal (either depleted uranium or tungsten) and the force would just punch thru up to 10” of steel.

Sparks
Would fly. Literally.

I read a thingie somewhere kinda recently that said not to buy canned goods with dents, especially near the lids/tops-n-bottoms. They could leak and spoil. Otherwise, I have always been of the impression that canned goods are good very far past the "expiration" dates, which are really "sell by" dates to chump you into tossing them and buying new when they "expire." Everything is about treating the consumer like s/he's a moron and tookening her/his money.

Ive always heard that about dented cans. Never knew a reason.
I’ve also opened cans past the due date and found them to be an odd color or the liquid separated. A metal smell to them. Made me think the preservatives are what have the shelf life.

I put an egg in the first day after school. We got a microwave at Christmas when they were ‘new’. Didn’t destroy the microwave but damn it was hard to clean up. Who knew there was that much scrambled egg in an egg? I’m not sure where the shell went either.

I did have a great moment in a class, because I teach 3d printers and most are based on European designs, so... metric... but someone asked what imperial was better at, implying nothing...

Until I told them we were racing. You tell me what half of .3795 mm is, before I tell you what half of 7/16ths of an inch is. 7/32nds.

I was trying to teach some dimwitted douchebag how to lay out windows and doors from plans when given the centerline. There is the nominal size, the actual size, and the rough opening size, all which have to be considered in order not to properfuck the entire operation. The vile stench I smelled was what was left of his brain being microwaved inside his skull, but what would have made it perfect would have been if he had let out a pitiful wail and then started weeping uncontrollably.


We never got as far as whether you needed single or double jacks, and much less how to size headers.

Thank you for the recipe, @Greylag

So we have it all in one place:

Shortbread Recipe (US Conversions)
INGREDIENTS
  • ¾ cup Superfine Sugar (150 g)
  • 1 ⅓ cups Butter, at room temperature (300 g)
  • 3 ⅓ cups All-purpose Flour (400 g)
  • 6 tbsp Cornstarch (50 g)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 320°F for a convection/fan oven) and grease a couple of baking trays with a little butter.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until it becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Sift in your flour and cornstarch and mix to form a stiff dough. Tip the dough onto a floured worktop and gently knead until smooth.
  4. Roll your dough to around ⅜ inch thick (1 cm) and cut into your desired shapes. Transfer each shortbread to your pre-greased baking trays and prick each one with a fork on top.
  5. Bake in your pre-heated oven for around 15–20 minutes until the edges of the shortbread are golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a little sugar over each shortbread. Leave to cool on their tray for around 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I had something similar happen with an old can of green beans once. I did pitch them.

When we bought our farm, we found old deeds of the property, and they all started.

“ find the metal stake in the tree on the southernmost boundary of the property. Go 16.5 chains. (some direction)

It was pretty cool.

Ah, the joys of deeded property surveys from the eastern bit of the US.


I think that I told the story of the drunk surveyor from southeast VA and the part of town which he laid out wrong.
