Lady customer is into cave man maybe?

They're doing the long con, so to say, by cultivating the acquired taste. By the end of the job you'll be able to tell the difference between Kenyan and Ethiopian arabica.

Do you enjoy the coffee? Then it's not wasted.

No. He means he pours it out and adds whisky to the cup.

Something about this picture just screams middle school maths book cover.

You're free to use it if you cut me in

[–] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Bottom right corner ok? Could use a face down there.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 22 minutes ago

Those poor middle schoolers did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment.

What's the story with this ruler. It seems to be have markings for measuring up to 20.5cm of length, but it's labeled from 10 to 30. Why does it not start from zero?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It used to be 30 cm long, but I shortened it and rounded the corners. I had to cut off the first 10 cm rather than the 20–30 cm section, because otherwise I'd lose the markings for the first few millimetres when I grind the corner.

Makes perfect sense! The sharp corners on most rulers like this aren't very pocket-friendly.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Ruler starts a 0, markings start at 10. A bit like how some cars speedos start at 10.

As for the othet end, did you mean 30.5?

[–] tychosmoose@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

The roads might be safer if we marked speedos like this

Iittala Taika-mug! Customer has a nice taste!

you ungrateful peasant!

You look more like a fine craftsman

What if they brought some craft beer?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 4 points 1 hour ago

Then I couldn't drive home at the end of the day due to my principles about drinking and driving but that's okay - my toolkit includes a toothbrush

[–] username_1@programming.dev 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

That ruler has lines just painted on the steel ribbon, without grooves (no idea how to call that in English)? How well the paint keeps on?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 6 points 2 hours ago

There are grooves - I can feel them when I glide a fingernail across it. I've had that thing in the thigh pocket of my work pants for about a decade.

[–] autriyo@feddit.org 4 points 2 hours ago

I'd say grooves is a valid term.

But how are you sure that there aren't any? I feel it's difficult to tell just by looking at the picture...
