Do you have power yet? Because that looks great, unless you're still without power, which would make that look like a PITA.

After almost 4 days, I got power back. For some reason I keep think I should go out and fill the generator with gas. :D

My guess is it’s for weighing mail to charge for the stamp.

Before God changed my life:
I got mine at the headshop where I bought my rolling papers and blacklight posters. I kept a nickle with it because a nickel is exactly 5 grams so I could make sure it was accurate.
I still have it and yes, it is great for measuring if I need a second stamp on the mail.

1930s Oklahoma City near the Capitol. Many of the wells were still there in the 50s and 60s. There are still two or three in front of the capitol to this day.

1909 Metz "Plan" Roadster..."Charles Metz had inherited a stack of car parts at Waltham Manufacturing and faced a weak but recovering economy. Faced with this challenge, Metz devised a winning scheme: the first installment plan for a car ever! This was a financing method born during the age when a customer customarily paid 100% on the barrel to get anything: groceries, a car, a house, whatever. So, Metz’ pay-as-you-go installment scheme? Absolute genius..The genius lay in how he did it…
Metz gathered the parts that he thought were necessary to form sub-assemblies of a complete car, grouped them in order of what a person would assemble first, then second, and so on. From this, Metz created 14 sets of packaged parts, starting with the frame and tools by which to construct the car. The next boxed shipment contained the axles and springs, followed by a box with the hood and radiator. Then the body parts, then on and on, with the engine shipped in the 12th container.
He then appropriately named his car the Metz Plan

Many years ago one of my machinist's was having trouble converting grams to ounces while balancing a turbine. He was a pretty rough character so I asked how many grams in an ounce. He said he didn't know. I asked how many grams in a 1/4 ounce. He looked at me like why did I ask it like that, then he smiled and said, oh 7 grams.

I was at a movie theater when the film broke and the projector shut off. Pretty dark in the theater for a minute or so, then somebody in the back started whistling the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show. There were some gasps and surprise, then I chimed in from the opposite corner of the theater. Within seconds half the audience was whistling. It was a moment.

David Attenborough: Pufferfish release a toxin when they puff out that is meant to impair the attacker, so they can safely escape. Ironically, this doesn’t work on dolphins in the same way. It actually gets them high. So they purposely inflate them and pass them around to their dolphin friends for fun.
