    but the real question is whether 'both halves of jack shit' is a greater or lesser amount than '90% of fuck all'

    for years this question has baffled the scientists who give a shit, which to be frank isn't many

    I'd say both of those are indivisible entities.

    How does metric figure in? Is a metric tonne a cubic meter of water? Would a cubic meter of shite be used? A cubic metre of fuck? :D

    Need help with that, just let me know. Though I'm so tied in knots with the homework for the online writing class I'm taking, I may miss your response.

    1 cubic meter of shit is 100 kilos.
    1 cubic meter of jizz is 1000 kilos (dafuq?)
    I actually cannot find anything more on the materials involved with doing the do, so I guess that's a cubic meter of fuck.
    I don't even know where to start on Jack Shit or Fuck All.
    Now I'm going to go clear my browser history.

    I would say that the "metric" qualifier indicates that we've moved beyond the figurative and are ready to assign solid physical value. In other words, shit just got real.

    Waking up in the middle of the night after a nightmare that the USA plunged into a civil war.

    Cripes, brain. You're an evil little fucker.

    I am now wondering how I got excited to calculate the mass of a cubic meter of feces and jizzle

    I can't believe I'm doing this...

    We have the mass of doodoo
    And we have the mass of something else. The something else is more dense than doodoo, so a metric ton of it would be smaller than a metric ton of shit, giving it greater value because large volumes would be hard to come by (on top of difficult to produce)
    Now if someone can give me a nudge as to Jack Shit and Fuck All are, I think I can have this all sorted out by midnight EST

    So I had Amos Garnier go investigate why Facebook's pictures aren't working worth crap, and, predictably, their little glitch affected him too.

    Marxist rebellion has started in American universities a long time ago.

    Media follows.

    Rednex do not.

    It's gonna be selfies and virtue signalling against rifles and militias. It's gonna be vegans agains BBQ tradition. It's gonna be science against social "science".

    Depends on the type. As a farmer, I can tell you that 1 cubic meter of relatively dry sheep manure weights around 400 kilos, whereas wetter, sloppier stuff can weigh around double that.

    "I have no tolerance for intolerance."
    Are you aware this makes you intolerant...something I think is obvious you're passionately opposed to.

    The way I see it, everyone is imperfect - we have dysfunctions, biases, personal preferences of likes and dislikes. Perhaps you could allocate the same compassion and understanding towards those that don't like things you like or easily accept.

    If you don't understand why folks are as they are that causes you discomfort or you end up disliking them, you can simply ask them to explain their reasons behind their attitude or behaviour and maybe you'll be more tolerant towards folks with imperfections or personal preferences different to yours.

    I think the opposite to you in that I'm all for explaining ourselves to others, for it's in sharing our thoughts and feelings and why we are as we are or why we do things, helps folks understand and possibly can strengthen a relationship and dispel non-beneficial intolerances.

    Personally, now I sorted my shit out and am now very secure in myself, in that I don't require external validation, I'm not adversely affected if folks don't like me or aspects of my being. I have the capacity to allow folks to have their personal preferences and any non-beneficial glitches that influence them to dislike me and I have no need or desire they change to suit me.
    (I suspect not everyone has reached this level thus sharing themselves with others is difficult due to dreading any negative responses.)

    I'll make an effort to understand them and discuss the matter in the hope they would be more loving and accepting, but they don't need to change if they don't want to.

    Just look bunions up. Depending on severity, that would make any shoe a problem?
    But agreed, safety shoes not fun. Oz went nuts over a decade ago with new safety rules on residential building sites, and the basic hard, thick and heavy steel-toed safety boot was a nightmare, then fortunately one company developed a hybrid steel capped with a soft jogger.

    Don't hate me, but since 2009 my weekends are permanently 24/7, and one can become lazy and the intermittent work I do around the house, on me vehicles and for others are often the hi-lights, thus work is now my "weekends"

    Doing 4 rides in a row this week. (weather permitting)
    Rain completely disappeared...what day is it today...teusdee, so went for an exercise ride. Ground too wet to work on ute.

    - Still clear wensdee morn, so went for another ride to the village to see mech about how to undo injector wiring plugs. He showed me. So simple. I was close but off track.
    - In the arvie easily removed all the injectors, all the jets are clogged at some level, #6 the worst, matching the clogged spark plug I found.
    - I then jacked up the car to undo the two hoses to the fuel rail so I can take it out and clean the guts, and once again coming across crappy quality and design. The plastic locking clip that joins the rubber hose to the steel one had disintegrated due to age and engine heat thus I couldn't take one off and decided not to break it off till I had a new one or I'll most likely go back to old school threaded clamps and new hoses.
    - All injectors cleaned on the outside and filters removed, the O-ring kit came and all parts are correct.

    - Another ride today to take injectors to mech for sonic cleaning, and see what parts they can get me for repairing or modding the fuel lines.
    - Fuel regulator hasn't arrived yet, best to install it with rail out of car.

    - Friday ride back in to get cleaned injectors and hopefully some fuel line parts.

    - Weather permitting, rebuild ute over weekend or friday arvie if not sore and exhausted after 4 consecutive rides, hopefully with all parts cleaned and mods done, otherwise it's a temp build and will do full clean and mod next week.

    - Also refitting K&N air filter as the test run of the standard paper filter has run it's course and there's no difference in econ between using the two and the K&N lasts forever, you just have to do a liquid clean every oil service.

    - Today drop off fishfingers (full length bike gloves) at sewing shop to repair crappy stitching.
    Grab a jar of coconut oil for me coffees while awaiting 3kg tub from online, some 9 volt batteries for me thermometer gun and luminosity tester (works a treat) and pick up a package from the postoffice.

    - Yesterdays ride was also due to 3 packages at the postoffice, unsure how long before ute would be up and running so decided to pick 'em up with treadlee...turned out to be 4, zero room left in the backpack, not heavy but large and the ol' back wasn't impressed.

    - Just looked outside 7am fully clear sky, will head out at 8 so sewing shop is open by the time I get there.

    - Still productive with book, though had to do some more delicious geeky stuff to the puta as drive D was glitching after so many uninstalls and reinstalls of vid card drivers. Reinstalled the D drive image, prob solved, then decided to do more spring cleaning and rearranging and hard core defragging and do fresh images of all drives.
    Puta is now super tight. <---go on, you know you wanna. ˜smiles˜

    Still ontrack to send transcript off to publishers before the month ends.
