obviously due to greenhouse issues

NZ & Australia are making Oxygen, But the atmosphere is shrinking and letting the radiation from the Sun cook us.

Sydney had one too, but much bigger.

"change in a hamburger recipe"

I haven't had a "Hawaiian-burger" in such a long time ( three decades at least) when I found there's No ham (PORK) in it.

I did ask for a Hawaiian-burger but when I had a bite it was either Sheep/ goat/ or perhaps Dog.

When I took it back I was told they don't use pork.

Another favourite gone.

Hope it's not made me a religious fruit cake, ( like : shuuus: keep it to my-self.

Hi,Maritime_Ev

You missed "Henry" if thats the right spelling, didn't I get the base unit right, 6 above the Meter & 6 below it.

six-hundred milli-litres is equivalent to one pint, but it's six deca-litres in Europe.

The metric system (more accurately International System of Units) has a certain elegance in that it covers all measurements with combinations of just 7 base units, six of which are defined as natural constants, a

The "International System of Units" IS Paris France!, don't hide it. And don't say to the French, 600 Milli liters of milk please. (the old pint bottle).

Boy did I ever get bashed for not understanding that foreign system.

And Dresden was not in retaliation for London!

Try again, German tried to wipe out another city, plus of course "The Crystal Palace".

I was/is confused when reading aviation lawyer speak in all the litterateur (if that's spelled write LoL)

P.S, Why the Y in an airfield address, The A would make more sense.

I suppose it depends on your history teacher of time.

The Marxists Christopher Hill (1912–2003) – used the term "English Revolution".

The "Encyclopædia Britannica" called the series of conflicts the "Great Rebellion",

The "First Barons" War On 15 June 1215 King John of England Signed the "Magna Carta at Runnymede, near Windsor,

And I use the "Magna Carta" to say things, that in other country's would have me locked

I'll give it a go: an aircraft that fly's with Negative angle of attack AND Zero wing loading.

There's No German on my Aussie passport, No DIN metrics in my tool box, outside of Dauchland no one pushes it.

Can't say the same for a republic with over twenty revolutions, they could change everything tomorrow.

Poor Poms, only had one, to get rid of the despised "republic of England", but I still like the "Republic Battle Hymn" sung by "Harry Seacombe".

There's no such thing in Europe as "30 cm"

It's 3 dm

do you mean it's Elliptical at the outer end of the wing span, Or the vertical winglet is elliptical?

The ChirPaa (aeromodler plans ) of the 1950's used washout plus elliptical ends to its high lift rib profiles to gain stability to it's Tailless design, (No stabiliser).

Winglets were to Shorten the jumbo's wings for use on Normal runways

OK

1,656,000Pounds per FOOT positive pressure is still bigger.

By far.

Have never worked with P.S.F. could it be Foot Pounds?

Now I've got Barr on the compressor and N.M. on the torque wrench. No idea if I'm going to blow my'self to bits with the compressor, or strip the studs with the torque wrench.

Is it 1.5 bar or 15 bar, for the rivet gun? (15PSI)

OOOps!

Another three strokes of the cane,

They'll bash it into me in the end, you watch.

Still only another generation or two & the old school will be gone & forgotten.

we've had Egyptian Roman Latin English, now it's "Hitler's dream" (European Union) but not under Germany .

France has tried for many centuries to dominate Europe, So we'll see if the French Europe is any better than the predecessors.

Or history will (future) tell it as another failure.

without measuring sticks we (humans) WILL go backwards & use Logical tools to measure everything, and the language wont matter in the future as was in the past.

A Egyptian rood, Latin perch, or English chain, (The weight that can be lifted by men) Or even a Brass Monkey, That keeps dropping it's balls (canon that is,) a name's a name ,

The name tells what its used for, Hands for horses.

Bar the French, BAH couldn't understand a feminine table from a robust table so why different French words for a table.

FT.

How would you mark taps & dies, that at a later date than now, will be not only smaller but far more precise, than we can make at the moment.

Start at a funny number say 1,000 & decrease the number whilst increasing the size to N.,1 equalling 1/4 inch.

One over four. Start at the first nominal size 1/1, equals one inch, Or 1/4. We'll make it No,. 4 ( as its one forth).

Just like the Metrics, starts as a whole unit then goes. Atto Femto Nano Pico Micro Milli Centi Deci Whole Deka Hekto Kilo Mega Gigga Tera Peta Exa .

Rubbish!

2,100 lbs. per FOOT , Compered to 11,500 lbs per INCH. (The pressure required to make "liquid oxygen").

Positive pressure is way greater, than the negative pressure (like the void of space).

AND when the "Milky way" & "Andromeda" go down the gurgler of OUR "Black hole, we will see positive pressure's that we haven't yet made tools to measure !. LoL

spacesqailor

P.S. My calculator reads 29.5 inhg = 14.49 pounds per square inch

Another two cents worth!,

Negative pressure IS 29,8 inches of mercury. Try lifting a 600 kg aircraft with only that.

Positive pressure Is : how knows ,30,000psi, That'll push rockets upwards surly.

Oscar: I believe "BA" starts at I/4" whitworth, as No,. 4 then gets thinner as the number increases.

I was told there's NO alternative to BA at all, Blooodi _Awful.

As science makes parts smaller, BA increases it's last number up to the required size.

If it was up to 100, years ago, then it must have increased it's number to maybe 150 BA now.

My set of BA only goes to 1/16", but I cant read the number on the die. And probably I've only got nominal sizes. I don't need 128th of an inch size different s.

Does everyone think all these "Imperial sizes/ names are English, Fat chance, when they were slaves (serf) to the Vikings / Romans, and all, with no education. "rood rods bushels & all were in use,

And the poor Brits had to lean the Dominate language of the time along with the "ettecatt" ( not in dictionary, but how low to bow to the boss ).

And Still NO "Metric Time" comments.

ARE you all too scared to look it up?.

The French refused to use it.

spacesailor

Has no,one looked up the French metric time yet, I saw it years ago ! Frightening .

Metric has 12 steps and not many know all of the names, but I've used most of them over the years. "The metric system is far easier", say,s the french man.

Sounds like the word for "Tidal-wave", when it looks like the tide going in or out, today it's "Harbour-wave" in Japanese. tesumi ( not in my spell checker"
