Why do power drills have R and L?

I HAVE seen a tailwheel airplane back onto the runway. (Helio Courier #1)

In the UK they simply put a small yellow sign under it with details, usually something like unlimited outside 9-5, otherwise 30 minutes max. It's written in English, so you don't have to guess. But you do have to send a photograph of the rusted away sign to prove that you couldn't have possibly read it to get let off with your parking fine. They then point out you could have read one 5 miles away and made an educated guess.

Which side something is on IS a simple concept. What's not so simple is associating a particular WORD with that idea. If you think that's simple, that's because you know how to do it. It is NOT simple.

A map is a representation of something in reality. The physical orientation of the map (vertical, horizontal, east, north, etc) shouldn't matter.

I look at a map and need to compare WHAT IS ON THE MAP to the real world. Which way that piece of paper is turned has nothing to do with it. That's true even if both me and the map are riding a merry-go-round.

People would fall off because there's a more massive object (the real Earth) nearby. People would fall off the Earth if there was a massive black hole in orbit. Neither has anything to do with a map.

I very often look at maps on the wall, and have not even once become confused by that.

So you think Earth is flat? I was almost expecting the real problem (the difference between a FLAT map and the surface of a spheroid).

Lesbian are you?

I find that if you have to use a breaker bar you're going to shear the socket bit anyway.

All my washing machines have had (usually by my choice) the ability to select what I actually want. A Bosch machine had no programs at all, just three dials. One told it how fast I wanted to spin, one told it how hot the water should be, and the other told it how vigourous the washing should be. My current Samsung is even better, I select something like "cottons", then I get a large screen with its recommendation, where I can adjust stuff, like "allergies" to do more rinsing. And it tells me it'll take x amount of time, so I can remove parts of the cycle if I'm in a hurry, like changing the rinses from 4 to 2.

Has to be flat. Have you ever tried to stand on the side of a sphere?

WTF is an "air dam"?

They're not intelligent enough to need those.

I find hand tools impossible. Firstly you need to have huge muscles. Secondly you can hold a power tool perfectly straight much more easily as you're not using your own effort to rotate it.

It's simple for anyone with a 3 digit IQ. Anyone with 2 digits should be removed from the gene pool. How the f*ck can someone not be able to associate a word with a thing? Even a dog can do that!

That's because you have a brain. Unfortunately about 80% of the population don't. They can't match something to something else if those two things are different ways round.

Irish, useless and thick. Polish, hard working and just get on with things no matter how difficult the task.

No, because I'm pushing it right and the drill goes left.

Many controls are ambiguous, for example

But what if I don't need precision? I can see in a fraction of a second by looking at my analogue clock that it's late afternoon. I can glance at the rev counter of my car and see how fast the engine is spinning. I don't want the precise number, I want to know how close it is to the red line.

You have a built in clock? Are you robotic?

Why the f*ck would I need a graph? I can glance at a voltmeter and see the needle wiggling about. I can quickly tell that the average is about 5 volts.
