--- Quote from: Case on 28 Jun 2017, 15:02 ---Fun fact: One current way to measure records in human hand grip strength is closing a Captains of Crush Grippers No.4 torsion-spring grippers - equivalent to 365 lb of 'force' (*). [...]
(*) Imagine here a small, prickly rant about peoples' tendency to 'measure' force in units of mass ...
--- End quote ---
Technically, that would be "peoples' tendency to conflate mass and weight", which has resulted in "pound" being considered both a unit of force and a unit of mass, depending on which system you're using. So saying "365 pounds of force" is completely legitimate and you can leave off the sarcasm quotes around "force", TYVM.

I had never noticed this before, but my phone's browser interprets Storel's user text (1-800-SCABIES) as a phone number and tries to call it if you click on it. :psyduck:
shanejayell:
But does anyone answer? :laugh:
jwhouk:
Someone at the Nashville Jail, perhaps.
I'm just a psychology major.
A Duck:
Comic!
Clinton navigated this situation like a champ, despite being drunk! I'm impressed!
Any tension that was expressed in the handshake is certainly gone now.
Cry it out, Elliot. It'll be ok.
Also, Brun seems to be crashing a little bit.

My current job title is software engineer, though.
I am definitely not a *computer* engineer.
--- End quote ---
I don't think anyone *is* a computer engineer. The fact no one has a clue what a computer engineer does was a running joke in my class.
I'm a game developer, though. The degree is just there.
