Another significant development was the exhaust steam ejector, sometimes known as the poor man's feedwater heater.

You could probably cut off the bit of string though.
It depends though. Some have catteries inside, so I'm told.
I always cut off the string though. It makes it quieter.

I have a headache, and it's bright outside. I think the sky should be grey all the time. Except at night. At night it can be black with stars. Stars are pretty. They're bright. Well, up close they are anway. They're far away. I bet moths try to fly to the sun too. They like light. It would suck to be a moth obituary writer. So many deaths every night. No real variety either - hit a porch light, hit a bug zapper, hit a parked car headlight, bashed self to death on a screen trying to get to the bathroom light. A pity, really. They must deal with grief well. And have big sections in their newpapers for deaths. Or maybe they just put death: and then list the names. That would be more economical, but not as sympathetic. I wonder how the moths would feel about that. It wouldn't bother me, but I'm kinda cynical. Ever notice how the " is really close to the ' and it's really easy to confuse them when you're typing a word like I'm?

I can see that TheMachine1 and nutbag have sorted it all out. I'm glad about that. I was getting worried that it would escalate into a major lame war.

Im not getting a peep out of it now.
Hope it stays that way. But that light is going to do my head in when it gets dark.

When the light gets dark, when your head gets dark? I am so confoosed!

I though about Bokononism, but the Granfalloon bothered me, so I dropped the idea.

You could try scraping the other stuff off.
It's usually down the left-hand side.
That bit with the sticker "Don't scape here".

But it was not meant to last it never is ....he yelled at me "A moth is more likely to be missed in this world than you" At that point I raise the gun to me head ..then a large man walked up and pulled the trigger to lite his cigarette also sending a bullet into a nearby transformer. I awake to find it was all merely a dream but that was little consolation as the doctor said it going to hurt for awhile till the stitches come out.

Well you probably did right to drop it. I only know because that's what Bob said.
And Bob knows everything.

Sigh... memories.... almost the first bit of programming I ever did.
A program that took a list (on punched cards) of overall sizes, end types, openings and weld types, and said whether a pressure vessel conformed to all the regulations.

Whoa! Lau knows what I am on about. I pity you, Lau.

While the single piece casg steel bed did nothing intrinsically to increase effeciency, its rigidity did allow the use of rolling element bearings throughout the rotating machinery.

Doctor Who - 2 minutes.... and I'll expect another six pages, by the time that's all done with.
Keep up the bad work. Take no prisoners. Splice the mainbrace. Walk the plaque. Shiver my timbres. Count my chickadees. Abrogate the pachyderms.
