  • You already fucked Trudeau. You're going to have to find a new personality to hate.

  • Don't fuck around with pressure vessels. It's seriously dangerous.

  • I hadn't heard that. What are they being replaced with?

  • 1 1/2" is 1/8th of a foot

    Nice! Never thought of that!

    I like how shipwrights used to notate dimensions, feet-inches-eighths+/- so 28 3/4" would be 2-4-6. 28 13/16ths" would be 2-4-6+

  • That's a tape for the new guy on the crew so he doesn't look like a dum-dum. Until the crew sees his tape anyway.

  • Like being a polyglot, learning more than one language has its benefits,

    That's what irks me about the "anything other than metric is stupid" crowd. Who needs less tools?

  • I accidentally bought an engineers ruler that's in 10ths of a foot on one side. That's a real pain in the ass. Or that side of the square that's in 12ths. But I'd really like a fractional metric ruler. 7/16ths cm.

  • No, they're fine. It's the bilingual tapes that are a pain in the ass. You have to guess at half the measurements no matter your preferred scale.

  • Drawing over it again with the same sharpie works too if you wipe it quick.

  • I can't believe they haven't made the Great Lakes great again. Lake America has a nice ring to it.

  • I'm in Canada, it's been snowing for days and we have 2 feet.

  • IF IT GETS TOO COLD YOU MIGHT CRACK YOUR HOG WHEN YOU GO TO CRANK IT. NOBODY WANTS THAT!

  • IT'S GOING TO BE COLD OUTSIDE, BROTHER. MAKE SURE YOU DRESS APPROPRIATELY, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, JUST BAD CLOTHING.

  • McConnell's experiments proved to be largely irreproducible.

    Apparently not so much.

  • The thing about Canadian politics is that the opposition starts with a huge lead that is theirs to lose. They do have a massive lead, but they also aren't running against anyone yet. I fully expect that once there's an alternative PP's numbers will drop. Hopefully by a lot.

  • Well, absolutely they they are. They're products of a changing system, and here we are.
