Don’t ask how I stumbled on this…it’s longer than you think it is and gets weirder the longer it goes. And don’t miss the violinist’s solo.

Experts generally assume that they are smarter than a handyman about everything, but their repairs are appalling. I saw a copy of the Apollo moon buggy, and any racing bike mechanic could have made it a lot lighter. In general, NASA designs vehicles without reference to Earthly experience.

Stainless steel medical ID bracelet
(Hoffman device I was forced to wear on my shattered left wrist in the early 80s)
It was clunky and got caught on everything.
I was constantly having to go back to the surgeon who installed it to have the hardware retorqued because it was in a constant state of disassembly because of how rough I was on it.
After a bit, I started carrying the required wrenches so I could do it myself before I got him to dial it in.
Eventually I went into his office with blue Loctite (industrial thread locking compound) in order to prevent it from falling apart.
That worked fantastic I might add.
No doubt that I was using my arm above and beyond where I should have been at the time.
(yes, I figured out how to use it as a bridge to shoot pool with it too)
(one joker one night accused me of having it put on my arm to improve my pool skills)
( I was in the process of draining and flushing his and other's wallets playing nine ball in the local pool hall)
Of course because I had a lot of time to study it, I redesigned it (machinist/mech engineers will do that)and figured out a way to improve on all aspects of it.
My ideas were scoffed at because I wasn't a medical professional.
The brass monogram was fitted to it by me when an engraver refused to do it on the device
Alrighty then...
I always said that if the task at hand was to dig a ditch on the moon, it would serve them better to ask a ditch digger how to do it instead of a book smart person who has no experience in that matter.Experts generally assume that they are smarter than a handyman about everything, but their repairs are appalling.

This is the 2016 version of their Mars Rover, I think the designers liked the Batman movie.In general, NASA designs vehicles without reference to Earthly experience. Car guys must quit in frustration.
Speaking of skates,......imagine Batman on roller skates,...
There's a cognitive bias (which I can't be bothered to look up the name of) whereby experts tend to believe that if they're good at one thing, they must be good at most other things that may intersect their area of expertise!Experts generally assume that they are smarter than a handyman about everything
Hmmmm, maybe add VR with eSki's, and no need to go at all?Ski Cam. Live stream cameras so people can see how much snow is there before they drive all the way up there.
Been there, done that.While most of you in the northern hemisphere are going through another summer of severe heat we've sort of gone the other way.

I'm not a big fan of it myself. We never get snow in Adelaide of course but it's been pretty cold, down to 2 degrees a couple of nights. I expect to get a big power bill next quarter.Enjoyed it for years, but have had enough.
Two degrees is going to ruin the mango crop.I'm not a big fan of it myself. We never get snow in Adelaide of course but it's been pretty cold, down to 2 degrees a couple of nights. I expect to get a big power bill next quarter.
Fortunately we've had enough wind and rain with it that we haven't had a frost, that's a farmer's dread. The cold is good for some things though, we should have a good almond crop this year.Two degrees is going to ruin the mango crop.
Cold is good for many fruits, peaches, most nuts (macadamia an exception), apples, pears, cherries. I can’t grow any of those,Fortunately we've had enough wind and rain with it that we haven't had a frost, that's a farmer's dread.

I saw lots of funny fails up the top end with people trying to grow southern fruits and vegetables. The funniest was always cauliflower, it grows spectacularly but doesn't flower, lots of big green leaves and nothing else. And anyone that tries to grow cabbages gets their yard swarmed by insects that will eat everything else too.Cold is good for many fruits, peaches, most nuts (macadamia an exception), apples, pears, cherries.

I don’t know what that means. ‘Fails at the top end.’I saw lots of funny fails up the top end with people trying to grow southern fruits and vegetables.

The tropics in Australia is often called The Top End, it's a common phrase I'm used to using and I often forget it might confuse others. That region has a highly transient population, many people only staying for a few years. And when they move up there for the first time most people will try to grow a few things that they're familiar with regardless of local advice.I don’t know what that means. ‘Fails at the top end.’
