Gotta be good morning. Seems like a pretty unnecessary abbreviation to me

Yeah, there are ways around this.

I'm just tired.

You're just 150 or so psi under inflated!

Hmm seems suspicious.

Can you prove you're not a Korean baby?

Keep it up my Canadian bros. We deserve it down here, and the only thing these people listen to is money.

What's your favorite snack now that you've refined your diet?

I have the honor of being the snack acquirer for my workplace break room, and do my best to supply mostly things like nuts and dried fruit, skipping things like chips and candy.

"But it’s worth noting that the same process would likely result in the production of unstable and potentially radioactive isotopes of gold. As such, Rutkowski admitted, the gold would have to be stored for 14 to 18 years before it could be labeled radiation-safe."

Ah yes, 18-year vintage, very nice choice. Pairs well with a 3 carat lab grown diamond!

Can't say I understand his logic there. This would have been a slam dunk doing it in two pieces.

You could have this perfectly square and the bit still would have wandered at least somewhat. No raw material is perfectly homogeneous when it comes to hardness, and over 10 inches at that diameter you're pushing a wet noodle that will follow the path of least resistance.

Unless the owner wants to spring for a 10 inch long 4 inch diameter bit. That'd work...

Congrats! You'll come out of this job with a lot of tricks under your belt.

Be cause those of us who understand it, also understand how limited the actual uses are.

I think it has value as a fairly nice search engine. But not much else.
