Re: Fine pitch M30x2.0 nut source?

re...@midwest.net (RogerN) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:53:09 UT

I wonder if this is the same size/pitch as the nuts used on 30MM proximity
switches.

Under sensors->inductive prox->cables and accessories, they sell the 30 X
1.5 hex nuts.

There's no need to suppose, you just have to read their bill.
Having read scores of business plans, and having written and
implemented a few myself, I've never seen one as bad as HR 3962.
- Their revenue model is to lose lots of money. Even using 10 years'
revenue to pay for 6 years' care, they're deep in the hole.

Apparently this was also the original meaning of "awful" -- that one sure
has shifted meaning.

Does what you wrote as "dak" actually appear as "daβ"? (view in unicode)

At first, I read "speil" as "speil", which translated to "play" in many
senses. Sorry!

Scientists are human, and they conspire all the time. The great
majority of them have enough sense to avoid conspiring to keep
competent scientific work out of the literature, but everything else
is fair game.
And playing fair with scientific journals is a tolerably modern
virtue. In the nineteenth century there was an endless succession of

More likely "daß" instead of "dak", and "jubelt" instead of "judbelt". With
those substitutions made, as far as I can tell the gist of it is
"This jug is made for you to rejoice and laugh, but in the privacy of your

Regan and Bush both lost revenue by cutting taxes rates and claiming
to hope that the Laffer Curve would compensate for the immediate loss
of the tax income.
So presumably it wasn't about revenue there either, but about giving
the right-wing rich more money to bestow on Republican election
campaigns.

I've heard that Ivan the Terrible could also be translated Ivan the

Awesome is one of the definitions for grozniy in my Russian

This jug is made [dak judbelt?] and laughs, yet a cat's chorus (i.e.,

With playing [music] and beer, the taste makes me whistle.
I can only guess, but I can tell you that it is German, not Yiddish.

There's nothing complicated about the Laffer Curve

but proponents of tax cuts who have cited the laffer Curve have found
that their tax cuts have lost them revenue. It does seem to be a
little more difficult to predict where the maximum of the Laffer curve

I reformatted them to show the rhyme.
Does the 'k' in dak look like a Greek beta? Judbelt makes sense as
jubelt, a verb related to jubilee.
The dictionary says 'speil' is Austrian for a skewer, as in shish-
kabob?,
With skewer and beer tastes (good) the little pipe to me.
