I think that grinding the pig swords might be the most technically challenging thing we do here

And there's another problem. Some people drive on the left and some people drive on the right

No standardization on things that could have been easily standardized

Air coupling couplers.

There should be, maybe three kinds. Not two dozen.

Because someone decided that coupling in only a few standard ways, was too boring?

And g code

Why on earth does Okuma use the standard codes but they don't mean the same thing.

they're trolling us that's why.

I fear no man…..but……

The dental hygienist that just destroyed my mouth, is a woman.

I swear, every time she cleans my teeth , I picture her screaming “Cry ‘Havoc !’ and let slip the dogs of war. “

Over the years, I noticed a pretty stark difference between hygienists/dentists taking your gum pocket measurements (checking for gingivitis/gum disease).

The good ones are gentle and careful, and probe only deep enough to find the bottom of the pocket.

Some of them jab that probe in like they’re trying out for a judge’s position in Forged in Fire. Then they go, “Bleeding on XXXX”.

Here… sit in the friggin chair and gimme that probe and I’LL show you some damned bleeding, you hamfisted idiot.

BTW, if anyone’s looking for a crapload of solar panels, the place I’ve mentioned before, SanTan solar, has a “Buy One, get one half off” code: boogohalf
(not a typo. It’s a Halloween sale).

***if anyone saw the post before I edited: my mistake. I filtered for ‘New Panels’, but those 325w SunEdison panels are actually Used.

They’re all out of the Aionrise 330w panels I mentioned from the previous sales (not surprised).

I was wondering with the release of the new 2024 EDC...

What are everyone's thoughts as to how we should we refer to it?

EDC1.2 or perhaps the EDC3.2 or maybe even something else like the EDC4 or '24EDC

The 2024 version seems more akin to the original EDC than the later (swedged) EDC3?

It hasn't been featured/posted (yet) in the CPK Encyclopedia Thread.

Admittedly, it’s maker’s choice.

That said, ED4 makes the most sense to me. Like FK1,2,3…UF1 and 2, DEF 1&2, DEK1,2,3… etc.
