v for frequency?

There is/was a series on Science channel called How It's Made and they showed what you described above on one of the episodes.

Twice as loudly. I can hear it from here.

Back when I was a student during the X86 vs 68K wars, Reemtsma had a full blown VAX11-780 in their Berlin fab for quality control (weight etc) of their cigarettes, I was told by a friend. How we were jealous!

It's also called a partial-product weighing machine. I almost instrumented one for Continental Biscuit, a big contract baking company.

After the bags are filled and sealed, they run along an instrumented conveyer belt, the check weigher, to make sure none are underweight. Few are.

I haven't been west on I-90 this year but I went over to Butte a couple of weeks ago and there were only a couple of stretches under construction. The bridges are well past their life expectancy and are the usual project. There isn't all that much traffic so you don't get the horrendous backups when it goes down to one lane.

I've got a geocache called 'The Million Dollar Bridge'. When they were building it there was a large sign explaining the project and the funding which was slightly over a million.

The bridge in question is on a dirt road

The bridge downtown rehab was supposed to cost 17 million but that was before the crew removing the old deck cut the beams for the new deck by mistake.

At least it's finished. I think. Nobody is talking about the final tab.

Why do people insist on these words for something more easily expressed with a number? Same goes for OS version on Macs and Android.

Because it wouldn't start?

And presumably buy fast food, you'd look a bit odd walking in and clearing the tables of ketchup. So you haven't saved money after all.

You need psychiatric help immediately.

I buy this in the UK:

Sometimes the made up story is more sensible than reality. And why should we take reality as the truth? "Do not adjust your mind, the fault is with reality". The universe can go wrong just like any other mechanical device. How many times have you seen inanimate objects do the impossible?

Mine comes in one packet. Pour into dish, add water, heat. You can do that in any heating device: oven/pan/microwave. I use a microwave, so I can just eat it form the same container it was cooked in.

Indeed, some people like the sound of their own voice, even when it's horrid to listen to. I recently listened to one where a woman was speaking like what can only be described as a hairdryer. She sounded like she was expelling a lungfull of air for every single word. I hate it when I look up "how to do X" on google and find a load of f****ng videos.

Not as many as there should be for that amount of land, I think it's because they think sex is wrong.

A few people have f***ed up eyes and see colours wrong, but most of us are the same.

Funny, I heard most Americans don't know anything outside their own country:

A tourist or a tourrrorist? I can't tell when a Merkin speaks which it is.

I never plan a holiday. I drive about, walk about, do what comes up. Much more fun. First time in France I accidentally found a guy with about 50 vintage cars and he showed me round them.

They don't have the ability to understand anything. They're not trying to be stupid, they just are.

There is no "typically American." The USA is amazingly big and diverse.

We like Beecher's "World's Best" frozen mac+cheese. It well may be.

What a bizarre delusion. You should have seen Dolores Park last Sunday.

"Not tonight dear. We're British."

"We English only show affection for horses and dogs."

And Germans. And Africans.

Maybe there is no "wrong" about colors. Maybe we use the same names for very different perceptions. Maybe that's why we have such varied tastes in colors.

But this week, everybody is wild for pink.

Do we have to give back all the money and houses and jet planes and Nobel Prizes?

Apple is worth $3.08 trillion now. The average Apple employee makes about $300K. Pity us!
