I want to wholeheartedly believe the caliper has the size the customer wants and the pipe is bigger, therefore inappropriate. I’ve never met anyone who would use a caliper this way, I’ve seen people trying to eyeball it or use it as a ruler but not like this
I forgot one essential tool, where I need a recommendation for: spotlight. I use it to switch quickly between applications or to folders. Keyboard shortcut, first letter of the application name and enter… I know there are solutions, but I only heard from Ubuntu, which I don’t want. Anything simple and fast you can recommend?
Why not all of them? Hire as an uber driver, paint wojaks of your guests (while driving, shout: Jesus, take the wheel). Film everything for tiktok, and rob them out at destination. The rest is the stuff you talk about while driving.
Edit: don’t forget to steal the keys for your new airbnb squad.
This just tells me calipers should have 2 measuring bars on them, so gaps and other inside edges can be measured like this (maybe this already exists, idak)
That’s what the two prongs at the top are for. Flip the caliper upside down, use the prongs to measure the inside dimension, and read it off the same scale.
I think the guy was actually referring to something a bit different, that is having a second number scale on the caliper that is offset by the width of the first jaw, so you can use the outside jaws for measuring inside dimensions. I don’t think that would work, however.
The second scale sounds like a good Idea till you mess up everything due to using the wrong one. I once had a Spirit Level that was for plumbers and had a Second bubble-level built in that was even when the Level was tiltet to about 1.5 degree, great for waste-lines and gutters. Now everything in my House ist tilted by 1.5 degree except the plumbing and gutters.
I was indeed (and I think you’re right, the calipers would need at least to be parallel on their outer edges to work this way).
I’m not sure what rz2000 was doing by (slightly wrongly) rewording basically what I wrote — I get the impression they think I was being full of myself for thinking of a (similar) concept that already exists (despite conceding that it already might) and felt the need to put me back in place.
No, I think you correctly identified the shortcoming with the tool if it were only usable for outside measurements. It does turn out that your idea was already implemented, but it is nevertheless a good idea.
The wording however is an echo of a line from Mad Men, where Pete Campbell is talking about coming up with the idea for direct marketing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a05WUtLZfU8
By using the same scale for inside and outside, you can take one measurement inside, and compare it to something else as outside without moving the scale at all.
Can’t tell if I’m missing a joke here, but see those two small knife looking protruding from the opposite side (above) where they’re measuring, those are used for measuring internal diameter.
The side they’re using is for outer diameter.
And though you can’t see it in the pic, the thin bit of metal that extends out from the bottom can be used for measuring depth.
It is absolutely a political issue. To quote Chico Mendes, one of the greatest conservationists, who was murdered for it, environmentalism without class struggle is gardening.
You may not like that politics is involved with conservation, that’s fair. But it is, and the people doing the destroying are the ones who control politicians.
Actual memes are often political because almost nothing is fully nonpolitical.
If you think it’s nonpolitical that just means you are fine with the politics to the point that you don’t notice them.
The act of you deciding what you think is “political” is itself a political act between what you’re comfortable with and what you’re uncomfortable with.
Pretty much nothing that can be imagined is fully nonpolitical. If you think it is, it just means it has politics that you’re comfortable with that you don’t notice.
Learned this very early at my first job. I was new to the whole content writing industry so I kept to just writing the minimum expected 2000 words per day.
Meanwhile two other coworkers with more experience wanted to impress the management I guess and wrote way above that.
The result? More and more work for them. And also when performance reviews came along I was the only one to get a raise because “the quality of my writing was above average in the company.”
In the end, they were punished for “over productivity” while I was rewarded because sticking with the minimum word counts meant I had time to polish my work.
