Ace-Garageguy Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Books have been written about "breaking the artificial constraints imposed on storytelling by formal structures of language", sometimes referred to as "post-structuralism"Â and other pretentious "intellectual" drivel. 1
LennyB Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Drivel was the original name planed for the Dremel tool until they laughed that engineer out of the company and came up with a new plan. 2
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) Plan B for repairing my old Dremel involved modifying the motor brush guides after it became impossible to find NOS brushes, and though they've become available again, quality is all over the board. Edited November 7 by Ace-Garageguy 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Board and bored are two words that are pronounced the same, but their definitions are completely different. 2
