On the submarine we used to send the nubies for sound-powered
telephone batteries, 50 feet of waterline, relative bearing grease,
and a machinist's punch. Just ask a machinist for a punch some time
and see what happens. :-D
Back in the days when I would actually sit in a chatroom, I used to
recommend people who were asking about issues with their computer if
they'd had a mechanic install grease fittings on their hard drive yet.
Other people watching would get all alarmed and warn the newbie that I
was BSing them. Spoilsports.
That's what chat rooms are for, isn't it?
