- ycombinete 4y agoThank you, I read it many years ago, but still think about it all the time. It's a pity it has never engendered much commentary on it's previous postings either.
- andrewfromx 4y agomy favorite part: Tom and Harry have been working together for years, but have an ongoing feud over whether to use metric or imperial measurements, and it’s become a case of “whoever got to that part of the design first.” This has been such a headache for the people actually screwing things together, they’ve given up and just forced, hammered, or welded their way through the day with whatever parts were handy.
