Hm.....it might be interesting to see the math on that.

I'm glad you asked that question,


That wasn't a question. It was a factual statement.

Apparently, in hindsight, you didn't REALLY want to see the math on that.

And BTW, your math on the hypothetical 6' lever with a fulcrum 1" from
the load was incorrect. The mechanical advantage is:

MA = length of effort arm ÷ length of resistance arm

Length of effort arm = 72"-1" = 71"

Length of resistance arm = 1"

MA = 71:1, not 72:1 as you stated.

In the future, when removing old posts, you should use a 6'1" lever, or
much better, a jack, or even better, a backhoe.

If you look closely at the statement you quoted above (or even if you
don't, as is evidently the case), it says, "...it might be interesting
to see the math on that." It turns out that it wasn't. This came as
no surprise to me.....or to you. The simple truth is that you figured
out that you had stepped on your dick.....AGAIN!.....just as soon as I
pointed it out to you. You also realized that no amount of cavilling
bull**** was going to rectify the situation but,like so many others
here, you just couldn't give up without trying to cover your stupid
ass with a mess of even stupider **** in the hope that the usual cast
of cretins wouldn't be able to figure it out. And you were certainly
right about that. But that doesn't make you any less pathetic does
it?

No. A horse is not a simple mechanical device. It has four
legs.....and is not particularly concerned about its ancestry.

So? Try riding a shovel. Not so easy is it?

well, she sure as hell has had plenty of practice with regard to that
sort of activity, having lived with you for a duration of years...

Um, are you suggesting Louie is the 400 pound rock or the 6 foot tool...? I
mean, if Joanne had moved 400 pounds of wet oatmeal in a rubber sack off the end
of a dock, your meaning would have been clear, but...

We close on Jan 11, and will move in on that date, I suspect. Looking
forward to it. Grandson #2 is going to live here -free except for
utilities. (He's already moved into the Peter Charles Suite.) We will
come back to Taxachusetts sometime in May, and return to Georgia in
September.

hell, man, the georgia mtns in january will rival anything you would
experience in massachussetts at the same time of the year. the creeks
will be damn near frozen.
i might give you a holler in march or april.

Just wondering: Do you see something wrong or fishy or plainly absurd in
my measurements or math?

This is a test, but I don't expect anything but a vitriolic spitball in
reply.

And BTW, why are you so interested in my dick?

March or April? You're a candy-ass, counselor. You could come down
just to eat, drink, and swap lies.

Done it. Many times.

Fresh, deep powder.....no, not so easy. Any other time.....piece of
