How about telling me how you do the arrow thing down the left hand side of the page? Chris does it too but I'm too scared to ask him.
Thanks for your concern about my sensitivity. Every time I punch a contractor, I agonize over it for literally seconds afterwards.
I still think you slipped up on the weight thing, as it is not your concern where it is installed. I was going to say 0N based on deep space, but this dark matter thing has me and my drinking buddy Stevo Hawking a bit perplexed at the minute. However as the universe is expanding at an increasing rate, the problem should simply go away, so I wont lose any sleep over it.
In my country a request for a geographical fix is considered impertent and in breach of the Privacy Act. However, as you are clearly a heathen, and have only recently climbed down from the trees, you are forgiven.
A word of serious advice; do not, under any circumstances, work for yourself if you want weekends to retain any meaning.
Cheers
Steve

My apologies for causing distress to your highly sensitive nature! It is not windy here, annoyed is my natural state.

I only accept random numbers from complete strangers if they are signed and dated. We have high standards in the nuclear power industry.

Yes, I slipped up a bit there, supplying some actual numbers. It is also true that weight was requested, but it was not stated where it was intended to install the spectacle blind, I have no intention of being held responsible for supplying the wrong value for gravity.

What altitude and latitude are you using as the basis for your value of
gravity? Are you even on the same planet?

I thought that was the entire purpose of the Paul Bowers Charitable

1 hour and six minutes to the weekend...
