Nobody would be able to understand me because English has diverged so far from 12th century English that it’s a different language. Also I’d be in north America where nobody had even seen a white person. Additionally, I’m 20 ft above the ground right now in a building that didn’t exist back then. Finally, I’d be rightfully blamed for bringing plague to the native tribes of the area and likely killed.

Assuming those hurdles were all cleared: I’m a mechanical engineer. So, I’d tell the natives where iron ore, coal, and oil was buried and how to extract and refine it. Tell them how to make gunpowder. Speed run making steam engines and lathes. Get north american natives armed, industrialized, and organized against the external European threat.

Mark Rober is what you get when you cross veritasium with Mr beast. Someone who’s genuinely smart but they’re going to leave all that stuff out because they want the bigger audience

How many? Turn off TV, unsubscribe from Hulu rows.

But the power tools are locked up and make noise. Bolt cutters are silent and not locked up in store.

My favorite spoonerism growing up was when someone in church would say “Bow your eyes and close your heads”. I haven’t been to church in 15 years but it still makes me chuckle thinking about it.

My favorites are Dr. Richard Chopp (a urologist) and Les McBurney (a fire chief).

It’s fine. No metallic taste since it’s not a reactive metal. In the microwave you just have to make sure it doesn’t contact the edge. You only get arcing of metal when there are sharp points or loops, which aren’t present on a disc.

Tried this, they’re all broken. Corelle flatware lasted quite awhile, but were still no match for my wife and kids. Everything is now stainless steel.

Yes. I’ve never had anything in Europe labeled as “spicy” that wouldn’t be outclassed by a mild hot sauce in the US. Closest I’ve come is an Indian restaurant in London. Also the hot sauce at Nando’s was an honorable mention.

Meanwhile the minimum spice level at the hole in the wall Mexican restaurant down the street in Texas is at the same level and hot enough in the high end that I can’t handle it. It’s perfect.

The standard ones should be standardized and any extras in an adjacent header. Power, reset, power LED, and HDD LED should be a single block.

A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.

As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.

They’re not interchangeable. ‘Fewer’ is for countable nouns and ‘less’ is for aggregate nouns, just like ‘how many’ and ‘how much’.

E.g:

Aggregate:

“How much sand? Less sand.”

Countable:

“How many grains of sand? Fewer grains of sand.”

Probably, idk, it’s not like I could find the answer in less time than it took to type this.

Endgame snap but the 50/50 split is male/female. So every man is gone for 3 years.

Isn’t that why Fermat’s last theorem had so much hype for so long?

Three times.

Twice from trusting farts. Pretty standard story.

Once because I was sick with food poisoning but had to make a 300 mile drive that day. Couldn’t hold the diarrhea in while vomiting on the side of the road. Luckily I had a change of clothes and got home before the second round of duplex emesis hit.

A biblically accurate psychological horror where you’re a night janitor in a large but rural and isolated church. It starts off with a floor cleaning simulator but weird shit keeps happening.

I didn’t call out a specific dimension on a machined part; instead I left it to the machinist to understand and figure out what needed to be done without explicitly making it clear.

That part was a 2 ton forging with two layers of explosion-bonded cladding on one side. The machinist faced all the way through a cladding layer before realizing something was off.

The replacement had a 6 month lead time.
