Paint depth on cars.

If one panel has thicker paint it means it's been in a crash

The speed of the conveyor belt does not impact the cycle time. No you cannot fucking slow down the conveyor belt to make it so you can work slower. You can’t speed it up to make people work faster. The speed of the fucking conveyor belt determines how long the things stay on the fucking conveyor belt. If it’s too slow things just stack up on it

Sorry, fucking line workers, managers, and executives in a factory…

I can't "blow up" an image you screenshotted from a video your sister posted on facebook and make it look any better then a pile of angry pixel garbage. I can, however, remove the pause icon from your garbage picture.

Well with generative AI, now we can, but that’s just cause the computer is making shit up.

Actors don't "act"

90% of an actor's work is preparation (memorization is just a tiny part of this- a big part of it is studying the scenes and figuring out the character's realizations and decisions)

By the time you're performing, you shouldn't have to think about the scene or dialogue at all, but just connect with your scene partner and let them guide you through it. Acting isn't about you. You're not important, it's about the moment that's in between you and the people you're performing with.

Factors of safety are defined to deal with the probability of things going wrong in a manner that is acceptable to society based on a body of knowledge and experimentation. You can't just define your own.

Also, just because something is designed for a specific load doesn't mean it will fail at that load.

A thicker, wider bicycle seat is going to be more uncomfortable on longer rides than a thinner, narrower bicycle seat.
