Notes on the epicycloidal cutting frame of Messrs. Holtzapffel & Co.

with special reference to its compensation adjustment and with numerous illustrations of its capabilities. by Bazley, Thomas Sebastion. Internet Archive.

Seen first via nemfrog.

So much beautiful stuff. Wish I had time to dig into how the math corresponds to the cutting tool.

¿Cómo se dice el baño en ingles?

This is one of the many English words that have a Spanish homonym, like "dormir," for "to sleep."

"Bathe" and "baptize" are very similar, e.g.

I was baptized in the tub

vs.

I bathed in the tub

frank, what's your favorite weed strain?

I don't smoke weed, but this is probably the best summary of what I like about it so far:

(this is the opening to an amazing comic but it's taken out of context so I'll quote it here)

The first time she used her powers to eat a man, it was not a mistake, and not a trick. It was a mistake, and a trick. She ate a man. She killed a man. She made a man disappear from the world. She didn't know it then, but killing a man with your powers, you know, that is not a mistake. You know that. It's a trick.

She ate a man.

She ate the first man she ate. She ate the second man who had come out of nowhere. She ate her father with a few bites. Her brother took the time to eat one man, for no reason. He ate one of his friends and ate another of his friends. He took the time. She felt it. She heard it. He ate people. He ate a dozen people in a day.

They ate a thousand people.

They ate one man. It took them five million years. It took them four minutes to eat a man.

That man was her.
