The side band is a spring.
How stupid would you have to be to think \"the springform pan mechanism might look a bit complicated at first glance\"?
Some people innately understand mechanisms. The ones that don\'t often
have other talents, and sensibly marry engineers.

That\'s ok. Some of them are ashamed to share the same planet with you.

At least America hasn\'t pissed away a world-wide empire. Yet.
The US doesn\'t have an empire. It does have a huge cultural influence,
but nobody forces anyone, at gunpoint, to eat fried chicken or wear
jeans and cowboy hats.

The Irish are practical and make good engineers and, occasionally,

ROFL! Every Irishman I\'ve met is an idiot. Most are gypsies who can\'t do anything more than manual labour, badly.

Draught pub beer is indeed dispensed in imperial pints and half-pints..
However, almost all bottled beer is in half-litres (500ml) or a third of
a litre (330ml). It\'s a rare (and joyous) occasion when you find a real
imperial pint (568ml). On an exceptionally rare occasion you might find
a larger bottle - presumably 650ml, which I see is called a \'Bomber\'.
Call me cynical but one of the early adopters of the metric system was the
liquor trade. A common bottle size was a \'fifth\', one fifth of a US
gallon, which is 25.6 US ounces or 757 ml. The bottle quickly became 750
ml.
Trivial, unless you\'re bottling booze and those extra 7 mls add up to a
\'free\' bottle for every 107.

His primary care physician won\'t involve himself in medical marijuana

husband showed up at the \"pot doctor\" office with a thick sheaf of
documentation on his chronic pain and had no trouble getting his card.

Would you two have a duel or something?
There\'s actually a lot of electronics in Ireland.
Show us some electronics that you\'ve designed.

You can\'t judge them all by Joe Biden.
I don\'t use the stuff (currently. I did inhale) but I wouldn\'t get a
medical card assuming I could spin the aches and pains of old age. Filling
out a 4473 might be iffy and I\'m not Hunter Biden. The Gods know I paid
enough booze taxes without batting an eye.
I\'d be extremely cautious anyway. I gather Moroccan blond hash is strictly
kid stuff compared to today\'s offerings.

I\'ve been reading the \'April\' series by Mackey Chandler. Set in an orbital
habitat, the people have almost no laws or regulations but the duel is
alive and well. It makes for a polite society.

It\'s pronounce nooTHere was his urban league trainee who typed up an engineering paper
thinking omega was w, but the professor said, if all the omegas were w he
didn\'t minf. Of course, you realise the small N in Greek looks like a v.
In Greek it is pronounced Knee but in English Knew.
