Earlier I was wondering if the AI-driven "generative / iterative design" software and "zero prototype" straight-to-production concepts being so widely touted will ever overcome the design shortcomings introduced by two generations of engineers who have no field-repair, failure-analysis, or other hands-on experience prior to sitting down at their screens and keyboards.

"Retired" means sitting on the couch and turning to mush to some, and "finally time to do what I want" to others.

Film of the bio variety is what causes those fuzzy little green sweaters you get on your teeth from not brushing.

House mice are better to have in your kitchen than lice...depending of course on how you feel about eating ze bugs.

Silencers would no doubt be popular if installed on the mouths of some particularly clueless public figures.

Yup. In over 7 decades on the planet, to date I have not yet been attacked by any tool or other imamate inanimate object. - 5 pts for spelling

Balloon racing with tattooed baboons in cocoons eating shrooms while watching Looney Toons sounds groovy.

Exceed expectations and sometimes you'll be appreciated, sometimes you'll be hated.

Looks to me like a bench-mounted press or puller of some type, and has interchangeable mandrels. Since it was acquired from an "automotive electric shop", the most likely application for a small bench-mounted press or puller would be for generator or alternator bearings, or alternator diodes...though I've never seen one like this before. EDIT: some alternators have diodes that have to be pressed into their carriers to avoid damage. EDIT 2: This is the kind of diode press I'm familiar with, but there are other designs, and some have interchangeable mandrels or press heads.

All true, but I very frequently use a cutoff wheel in my 40-year-old corded variable-speed Dremel for rough cuts. Like most tools, it takes some getting used to, but I find it to be one of the most useful tools I have...

"Passed" is frequently used for "past" and how that's possible is beyond my grasp.

A different approach...

Ensued M who she thought was the OP, and all the judge could say was "you need to get in the queue".

"Balance this pie on your nose for one minute and you can have it" they said.

PM'd.

One of the best paint jobs I ever did when I was much much younger was with the old Testors gloss black enamel, on the '27T tub hot rod that came in the XR-6 double kit. No trash, no peel. Painted outside on a calm day...along with my hand.

Remnants of previous lives haunt my memories.

Itchy fiberglass shirts probably wouldn't be big sellers.

Keep the Dremel speeds down when cutting plastic, or it will melt and clog the cutters. Keeping a bar of something like Ivory soap on the bench and running your cutting bits in it occasionally may help the bits to not get clogged with melted plastic.

Watch out and be sure to list the things you want for Christmas or you'll just get socks and ugly ties and reindeer sweaters.

"Nice" would be dumping "daylight saving" time permanently, as numerous studies indicate it's pretty much useless, and quite possibly has negative health effects.

"Boo...hoo hoo" said the ghost who wasn't sure if it wanted to be scary or whiney.

Apes have the cool thing down.

Smart people realize that there's way more they don't know than they know, they're open to learning and revising their ideas when presented with new evidence, and they don't blindly follow whatever opinion or fad is trending.
