Long story short a lot of measurements were based off parts of the body. As Lord Bison said it works for peasants but not for things that need to be precise. We all know about rail road tracks meeting up only to be different widths (but both being the same "feet") <br /><br />Fahrenheit is dumb. Is 32 cold or hot? <br /><br />Base 10 number system is OK until you need to divide the 10 cans of liberated Heinz Chunky Soup amongst the 3 or four tribes that joined the raid against the GREU(ms) (Gender Reassignment Enforcement Unit - Mobility Scooter division).

Because in days of yore people rode horses and most people wield weapons (whips for use against minions & swords against enemy knights) with their right hand.<br /><br />Why do the French drive on the Right hand side of the road? Because the English drive on the Left ;-)<br /><br /><br />Funny story. As a young not-yet-man but not-a-boy I was giving my father assistance with some house maintanance. One of us was in the roof cavity the other on a ladder with reaching up to the ceiling. My father gave the instructions to drill a hole (or was it drive a nail through?.. I dunno, but I do know you don't want me doing house maintenance). I was to perform said task x inches from the wall. WTF? x inches? So I took a wild guess. My father roared "I Said x inches. NOT X feet!!!". Then my mother came to my defence and said "Kids aren't taught imperial measurements they only know metric" <br /><br />That's my two groats Dingonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-26243419583888685222018-05-25T11:21:14.017-07:002018-05-25T11:21:14.017-07:00On an individual basis, stereotyping is bad.

He's brutal because what serves as his family are mental & illiterate and everybody beated him until he beated back, and has never stopped since for obvious reasons. He has hormones pumping in his blood which makes him focused and assertive. However after having racketed future engineers he despises education, and while very apt at certain hyper-focused tasks like picking locks or rape-seducing chubby white chicks he has no concept of the bigger picture.<br /><br />This is why he usually gets jailed or starves pretty quickly when left to his own devices.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-16729543259933475072018-05-25T08:25:56.784-07:002018-05-25T08:25:56.784-07:00Just think about how you meet your match every day...Just think about how you meet your match every day.

I could, and have, write a book on the topic. It all starts with data collection, or even further back, with the clear definition of 'data' in this sense. That gets me into 'intersubjective verifiableity' and I've lost my audience. Just as telling the Nurse to grip her pistol in a natural manner.<br /><br />My error, of course; since I hold that responsibility for audience understanding lies with the speaker. That's hard, I know; but it is a place for me to stand, from which to act.<br /><br /> Bison doesn't know me, except as Anon 6.22. I like him because of his BTN approach to a problem. That's all that's important. There has to be standards, definitions. If you have a standard it must have tolerances; hence, a minimum. Bison says it much better with the 'BTN' label. <br /><br />Finally, and to the point, the internet is most impersonal. I would be stupid to take it otherwise.<br /><br />I have four dogs. They crap inside the wire. Occasionally I step in it. Can't hardly blame them.<br /><br />So, I have to zero a new sight on my AR this morning. Sometimes that goes easy; sometimes it is frustrating. Wish me luck today.<br /><br />And you take care of yourself. <br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-56028791291246821992018-05-25T07:01:26.931-07:002018-05-25T07:01:26.931-07:00It is a shame that "boy called wolf" was...It is a shame that "boy called wolf" was standard for this industry.

The whole thing did kind of escalate in nothing flat, and I was kinda hoping it would fizzle out. My bad. And to Anon 6:22, apologies for singling you out. But, I'm confused why you feel you must skip the article rather than just the comments? I get you had to because of your article, but when its the daily article? It seems it would lower your stress level. Some comments are nasty and pointless. Remember "You Know Who"? I took to calling him Mean Minion. When he has the time, he gets really nasty. Then he quiets down. Same with most others. The comments section is needed, but it will never to edited suitably enough to satisfy every body.

Legion, Warrigal and others were experts in their realms, really advanced stuff, but their research was stiffled by petty disruption from people who were not only their intellectual inferiors, but inferiors to most forumers as well (more on that in another post below).<br />Your experiment is going to be super interesting because those things don't happen often with experimental intent. I didn't even mention the vastly different cleaning procedures between the AR-15 and the break-open, because my text was already too long.<br /><br />Anon 6:22, I kinda see where you're coming from. This place here is super interesting to get different point of views. We don't have to like all these points of view, or be interested in all the topics but as long as they're made as genuine intellectual contributions they're at least useable.<br />This place is especially noteable for its broad range of topics, and how they stay close to material details. Mathematically we can dream up billions of different BOB combinations, but I don't know many places where you have a detailed analysis of wheat grinders.Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.com
