I think you're confusing ria with ER.

I think you're confusing moderators with moral individuals

I think you are all confusing and made the joke not funny anymore

Wait are you implying any of these running jokes are still funny

[Stardust]

Tires all around!

[Captain Murphy]

I find humor in almost anything, I don't mean that I laugh like a 10th grade girl all day but I will see, read or hear things and find humor in it that others wont

What I'm saying is I have too much time to sit in public and just think

[Captain Murphy]

I like to fuck with people in certain social situations too

Hahaha

just because you never found them funny doesn't mean they aren't hilarious!

I'm hilarious.

It's exactly as Talore said in the chat here. His PR skills sucked, he wasn't really great at dealing with his own team, but he knew lots that no one else in the lounge did. He's a good resource for the mods to have available, which is the whole point of the LC position.

He is a fucking Liability to alot of things considered he fucked with his own clan to a point where most of them are gone, trust from mods are low, and caused more issues due to the way he wanted to do things. I wouldnt let him even look at the door to anything.

Like this girl who graduated in the same year as my GF. She works at a supermarket and one day she told my GF she was interested in having kids with her BF (she was telling my GF this just after they graduated, she would only be 17-18). She only told my GF who only told me

One day I was going through her checkout and bought a pack of cigars, she said to me "Captain Murphy*, you and your cigars" while shaking her head with a negative tone.

I replied quickly without much reaction "Supermarket girl*, you and your kids" and the reaction of the 6 people lined up behind me was priceless. The girl looked confused but I hope she learnt to actually live before having kids.

* Is where I replaced the real names

Hey do you know something about electroerosion and surface polish?

Very little.

What's the cheapest way to get an Ra0.2 in a super-duplex low-carbon steel? F53 for example.

I've never heard of super duplex, and I very rarely work with stainless. So... try a polishing wheel? [/quote:

missed this one:

As you probably know, the surface roughness is estimated from the average height of the ups and downs of a lateral cut of a surface. think of it as hills and valleys.

Suggesting a polishing wheel is a very common misconception, because the wheel will only grind the hills, leaving the valley's/depressions unscathed, which will be bad for the surface finish because impurities and nasty stuff like hydrogen can lay down low there. If you get a badly polished tube where you put hydrogen, even if you vent it out and leave it in the open air, if you throw a wrench at it, the shock in the surface will make the hydrogen in the crevices detonate in contact with the oxygen of the room air. Its a very cool thing actually, it makes a funny scary POW!!! but not very nice for the fatigue of the metal.

So rule of thumb: never grind if you want to have an Ra below 0.8.

oh god picking up hitchhikers and doing a U turn is fun

uhhh

when did you get modded over here?

[Captain Murphy]

I like pointing in the sky and pretending I'm amazed while I'm around Asian tourists

[Captain Murphy]

Pretending to dack something around cops when you are completely legal is a fun 10 minute questioning game

[Captain Murphy]

I should write a children's book about fun imaginative games to play

[Stardust]

That answer feels really wrong. Like, molecular hydrogen literally hiding out in unpolished valleys? I can't imagine that would have any impact on a duplex steel in particular. Not to mention that when you're grinding, the whole point is to remove the "hills" entirely so that you're down to the base material, even below your "valleys". Not really saying you're wrong since I don't typically deal with this stuff, but I feel like you're just trolling here.

You don't get to do this one too often for the highlighted reason, do you?

Hum, super-
duplex steel only has an increased tensile strength? its the low-carbon yield (replaced by chromium/etc...) that makes it hydrogen resistant?
also, just look here for the results with grinding, taking into account that this table is very generous when it comes to grinding tolerances http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Surfa ... turing.png

[Col. Khaddafi]

Oh wait I'm Internet Satan, how can fool an ex-iridium about trolling? nvm then.

That would be correct, plus its stupid drawing attention if you are doing something illegal

[Manders]

Like, seriously, Stardust must ALWAYS think he's being trolled to think Scumbag would go through the trouble of trolling about that.

Well, yeah, that's just asking to get caught.

You're wise for your age, grasshopper.

[Captain Murphy]

Oh man spray painting a fake gun to look real and then pulling it out of a window as you roll past people, slowly, in dodgy areas usually causes some large stares and scared faces.

People watch too many movies

Holy shit, dude, that'll get you shot around here! Hahaha.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Guys, I tried to troll Stardust about tribology but I got caught in my own lies

[Col. Khaddafi]

There's no fooling iridium and MTGS ex-staff

[Captain Murphy]

Intentionally asking for pepsi or mountain dew at maccas because they don't sell it then going through other drinks you know they don't have.

Welcome to Australia, we have barely any gun crimes!

Googled it so you wouldn't rip my head off again and, omg, is that really what you call McDonalds?

Aussies are such funny cunts.

[Captain Murphy]

Asking people to give you a rough number on the cost of whatever you are buying if you are buying lots.

They will either guess close or way off and that gives you the opportunity to look at them with a glare that says "You never graduated high school did you?"

[Captain Murphy]

the current ad on TV I see all the time ends with "... But were the only place that calls Mcdonalds... maccas!"

I honestly never knew nobody else calls it that. Its printed on all their shit here too

If we're talking about atomic hydrogen in the steel, microstructure and inclusions are what we typically worry about rather than specific elements in the chemistry. Reducing carbon is good in that case, yes. But you were talking about hydrogen literally
blowing up because it's hanging out in the valleys. That's what makes no sense to me.

Many counties in my state are debating whether teachers should be allowed to carry at school.

[Captain Murphy]

I know you call it mickey D's but D is now slang for dick so nobody calls it that

A school is meant to be a safe environment with no outside influences, no guns in schools thanks.
