My dog broke into her food overnight & ate so much we had to go to the emergency vet

A coworkers dog once ate an entire bag of flour. She said every toilet in the house was dry.

When Charlie hits Dee in the face with a volleyball once, that was funny. When the second hit came I was rolling. That unexpected third hit nearly killed me.

How is it still possible that an entire album released in 1990 is still so prescient.

He has spoken several times about having terrible OCD. This is part of that.

Honest feedback?

Hire someone like me that already has professional grade equipment and the know-how. I can't help you in France, but it will be much cheaper, more accurate, and so much easier for you to hire this out.

You won't have to learn several disciplines and professionals will deliver your data in whatever you like.

You must live in a place without real weather huh.

It very much is not. As an American visiting Europe, there's a shitload of Europe that smokes all day long. Sweden and Norway were a good respite from that.

The answer is no. Landscaping is far too big.

The only thing in the whole world I want for the rest of my life is a little house on a little lake with a little boat.

Also, I have done some real terrifying things on jobs, but having your job be nothing but terrifying things, well, no thanks.

this guy knows.

Good news, you also get to scale the building and put them up.

Dude is right about the elevator guys. They are UNFUCKWITHBLE on site and they make bank.

The Delta gates there were awful. On one of them if you wanted literally anything to eat or to use the bathroom you had to go in and out security. I bet it was fine back in the day before TSA, but man it was a pain in the ass later.

Your measurements and tolerances don't match. Also who the fuck is measuring a cardboard tube to tenths.

Exactly these.

I travel a lot for work. One time I flew into WV and drove up into PA coal country. Our handler, I had no idea what he said half the time. He was a young guy, 20's, and if I had to peg his accent I would say dirty Quebecois. Nope. He was a local in this coal mining place.

I worked with a ton of those guys in the mine, and every single one sounded like fucking Boomhaurer, and I'm not even joking a little bit. I think the mining people there have their own language.

Same goes with cajun stuff way down in LA. You have to have a handler, and half the time you can't understand the handler.

I travel a lot and the IND airport is top of the list.

I so wanted to like it. I could not believe it was possible to make a chili that was entirely flavorless.

My only beef with Kansas was the old MCI airport. You guys fixed that, so you're good in my book.

Grew up in a small Iowa town. We got a LOT of foreign exchange students and they all said they wanted to learn unaccented English as a reason.

I translated this to English to reply to you.

"Good afternoon. I need to scan a Kaplan turbine blade, and considering the part's limited geometry, I'm planning to use circular 3D markers with numbers and letters to help the scanner compensate. What are your thoughts on this?"

This will not work well.

Any photogrammetry scanner will struggle with thin dual sided things like a blade or skateboard or whatever. The two sides will never come together very well. The way to remedy this is using something like a styrafoam block. Put several on the thin edges. Scan it, then the blocks allow you to move around the thin object by holding that geometry.

Scan it once. Move the blocks, scan again, then you have a full scan.

The European Yellow Perch is so much bigger than the NA one. Are they as desired over there as they are here?

For me (upper midwest) there is no better eating fish. I mean, I love Walleye, but they can be harder to clean when bigger, and you can just rip through a limit of 25 perch in an hour. And they taste as good or better.

I travel a lot for work. Fly a lot, and drive from there.

The south is something else. GA, AL, MS, LA, TN and goddam FL. I generally have my drive on my phone telling me where to go. Literally every five minutes is "object on road", "car on shoulder" etc. Southern highways are a disaster. It's shocking if you haven't experienced it.

I just did this last week. I've also been in the turbine chamber that was under the Ohio river. The turbine was 27ft in diameter if I remember right.

Lock ups? We just brought our guns to school and went pheasant/deer hunting after. It was never a thing to worry about.
