Oh boy did that one bite me in the past when networks first came on the scene.

 

Didn't know you had to use antifreeze in Florida!

Antifreeze keeps the radiator cool as well as from freezing.

 

And has "anti-boil", lubricant, and protective qualities as well.

Although if you concentrate it too much, it will actually corrode some parts of the engine...

It's mostly corrosion inhibitor for the aluminum parts and lubricant for the water pump.
It also increases the boiling point of the "water"...not that this seems necessary with a 16 PSI pressure cap.

It also increases the specific heat of the liquid and that increases the efficiency of the radiator.
That's almost like increasing the mass of the liquid because it increases the thermal mass.
The goal is losing heat with a minimal decrease in temperature.

They are called, "letter carriers" where I live. I call them, "postal persons". That seems to work better than, "mail woman" or, "femailman".

which reminds me of "going postal" ... though I think that phrase is still being used...

 

Hello,

Do you remember the Telegram.

Do you remember the Telegram?

I sent one, once. They wrote down my message, put it in an envelope, and mailed it to the recipient. That is not how it works in the movies! (cinema)

I hope you didn't pay more that $2 for it.

So do I, but I can't remember because this happened in 1968.

I sent one, once.

I received one, once. A Congratulations note for our wedding.

And I received a telegram 25 years ago informing me that my credit card payment was overdue...

 

Here's one that I just used a few moments ago: vernier caliper

 

Hello,

Here is the wiki page:

In Holland we call the instrument a "schuifmaat".

Yeah... my point is that you rarely see those anymore... all calipers have gone digital

 

Hello,

I still have an old fashioned one in my service case from work.

And I still have this one that I bought 25 years ago, when I decided to become an independent consultant:
