I agree... the guy sounds just like Peter Lorre.

 

 

Or tries to sound like Peter Lorre.  But it's still an interesting bit about standards.

Interesting. He said that in 1948 Canada and America and Great Britain agreed on SAE.

 

So how come my 1974 Norton had Whitworth?

 

For much the same reason the United States hasn't gone metric....the BSW system was so ingrained in many companies and industries that conversion would have been prohibitively expensive.

Ain't that wonderful?  Does it come with sound, too? 

 

Usually Instagram videos come with the sound off, a feature I like so I don't get blasted with noise.  Look for the Speaker icon on the lower right and click on it.

Well, to her example question to which she showd the answer,  my immediate thoughts were, "I wouldn't mind" and "Her husband. "

It's amazing how much race matters to the people who say that race is a social construct and doesn't matter.

I know this young lady that was born in Shanghai, moved to Hong Kong when she was about six, and in her late 20s immigrated to the US.

 

And one day I either wanted some information about China or maybe wanted some Chinese characters translated - I don't really remember, it's been a while - and I said, "You should know this, you're Chinese".

 

And she says, "I'm not Chinese. I'm American. I've got papers to prove it!"

 

Shura was adamant that she, since becoming a citizen,  was AMERICAN.   She just got a kick out of the looks on people's faces when,  with her heavy Russian accent,  told people who asked if she was Russian,  "No, I'm Chinese."  After all, that's what INS said she was.

 

 

On forms that ask for  race/ethnicity I check "Other" and fill in "Celto-Slavic."  I figure if they insist on that male bovine excrement and list a bunch of options for Latinos,  Asians, Pacific Islanders,  etc. I'm not going to be satisfied with just "White."  If being interviewed for something and I say "Celto-Slavic" and the person says,  "So, White?"  I  tell them,  "Nope.   Just what I said.  After all,it's racist to lump all white people into one category while having a bunch of options for everyone else.  That usually gets some blank-faced and confused blinks.

So, no tomato seeds. Pepper seeds?

 

 

I usually cut out the stem scar from the tomatoes, cut them in half along the equator, squeeze out that gel (placental liquid) and seeds.  Peppers I always try to get out the seeds and ribs/membranes.
