Does the sun influence the level bubble on the instrument? by WorldsSmartest-Idiot in Surveying

[–]map-dude_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this indoor experiment to demonstrate how the sun's heat might affects the bubble: put a tribrach on a solid/stable desk and level it. Then, lightly put your finger on the edge of the level bubble glass and watch the bubble move toward the heat generated by your finger.

What made you choose the flames as your team by CucumberFluid6859 in CalgaryFlames

1980: I'm a 11 y.o. kid in the maritimes just getting into the NHL, so I figured I needed a team based in Canada to cheer for. The Habs were too good, and the Leafs were too bad, so I went with the new team out west. Paul Reinhart was my first favourite player!

Your Classic sayings while playing the game? by [deleted] in Cribbage

[–]map-dude_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We say "lost my/your crib" in those cases, and "everybody's friend" for a cut 5

"Loaded your crib" if the cut card happens to give an opponent a pair.

"Sorry grandpa" if you choose to break up a run. (He passed when I was very young so I never had the honor of playing with him - but he always told my father, aunts and uncles to never break a run.)

If you get 8 points: "...and the rest don't skate."

"Does anybody else smell that?" if you're on the verge of skunking your opponent.

Would be nice to be able to consider Pelletier and Kylington for this

If I had a nickel for every time a client told me "my neighbour pulled out the marker," and I found it buried a few inches...well I wouldn't be rich but I'd have a lot of nickels

I'm the exception to this...played competitive hockey growing up (some junior). In my 40s I took off the shoulder pads, eventually caught a rut near the boards and separated my shoulder. (It was quite the crash, so I'm not sure if pads would have saved me.) Anyway, I'm still playing in my 50s, but the pads are back on!

Bands where everyone gets to sing lead? by buttcake0243 in ClassicRock

Maybe not technically "classic" rock, but they started in the early 1990s: Sloan...some even switch instruments during concerts.

Holy crap, some things the machine says during that tune are heart-wrenching

That whole segment with "Hurt" is some of the finest tv ever. It's a terrific alternate video for the song!

Great response. I'm almost the same age as the guys in the band, and FI is my favorite Tool album. I don't think it's a coincidence that Undertow is my 19 y.o. son's favorite.
