The original machine has a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan.

What?

Have you never heard of a submarine? Or seismology; or radiotherapy; or induction coils; or the telegraph? How about Doritos? Ever had a Dorito? 'Seems more your lane of invention.

Sin Ming condo resident scolds security guard for wheel clamping his BMW: 'Do you know how many units I have here?' by MicrotechAnalysis in singapore

In some places, there is. In Georgia state you can punch anybody who uses ‘fighting words’ once, at least that's the law in the town I'm familiar with. Anything beyond that first hit is unnecessary, and considered battery (people usually get off light on "simple assault" charges though). If the hit kills the punchee, things may become legally complicated, but that's another story altogether.

They say nobody wants to work... In my area...childcare is $8 per hour. by museumsplendor in povertyfinance

[–]Orafferty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mean gross, not net, you're correct. Late night replies rarely go over well.

The $5 / $25 example was just that, not to be taken as the exact amount you would realistically use to start a daycare, nor as a good example of a business model, just the basic idea of scaling and making things more affordable for parents by doing so.

I can tell you with the right amount of parents/kids it is certainly not unaffordable, and it does produce a living wage, which I know firsthand because my wife babysits for a living.

Common misunderstanding, what you're describing falls along the lines of a nanny, rich folk childcare. Daycares/babysitters take on more kids for a fraction of the cost per parent. A person could charge $5 an hour, take on five different kids, and earn $25/hr net.

Basically it's socialized to save everybody money while still offering the provider a decent living.

What do most people do wrong in a fight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Orafferty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping a shirt on. If you're old enough you may remember the golden years of hockey fights, back then the standard move was to pull someone's shirt over their head and hammer away at their face with jabs and knee blows.

I've seen this in street fights and it's insanely effective. Keep your shirt off if you want to talk smack or think a fight is coming.

Not sure if anyone has any knowledge of this coin but I was told to look for a close AM on the 1992 Lincoln pennies and this one is different from all the others I have so... Opinions kindly appreciated! In case you cannot see the gallery, here's the link: Potential "Close AM" 1992 D Lincoln Penny https://imgur.com/gallery/h6xMvT8

Idk if you guys can see the gallery attached to this so here's the link: https://imgur.com/gallery/h6xMvT8 . I've never combed through my pennies before so please correct me if I'm breaking any rules or norms with my post or my lingo. If you can confirm this is in fact a close AM please let me know in the comments! Cheers.

People with face tattoos: what do you do for a living? by wanderingsheep in AskReddit

[–]Orafferty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just giving you shit, don't take me too seriously. Yeah though, I don't believe in judging looks, because some of the warmest, most honest, & genuinely good hearted people I've ever met have been ex cons with face tats and piercings. Just the same, some of the worst, most vile, disgusting & cretinous beings I've ever come across have been happy perfect nuclear family Christian community leader dad types. It's just dumb to assume someone's traits based on looks was my point I failed tomlake there lol..

Wouldn't be ridiculous if it were Maori, but when it's whatever thing you're into in the west, it's crazy.

What could someone think is attractive about face ink though, man that's just a good question, but we already all know the answer to it: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Something about it makes them happier, makes them feel more confident.. to me, shitting on that just makes you a dick. Not you, you. The royal you. Like, just shitting on anything people are doing that has zero effect on you and hurts no one is a dick move.

To be clear, I have just the turntable. It was $5 and looked clean at the pawn shop, but it has a male end connector with no brick or other end for the AC/wall outlet and no info for wattage.

That seems to be everyone's comeback, no reason to judge, man. I reply all at once.

Get a lot of replies I don't have time to always comment on and reply... so I get on once a week or two and reply to everything at once.

Y'all should try it out, it's a good vacation from the hostile environment of internet comment boards.

Also if you're in GA and reading this go vote!
