True. The initial question does not specify if the chuck in question is forward directed or rear directed. Damn questions that miss out on the most important info.

This pretty close to the best answer I came up with. BUT. Woodchucks are rodents, not monkey-ancestor brachiators like us. So their shoulder and arm assembly is geared to grip & gather, not swing and bear weight. So the 'calculated' answer I came up with was 35grams. Given the moment arm and leverage etc. Plus claws get in the way - woodchucks don't have fingers/thumb for gripping like us. No doubt this question will continue to bother me.

Might be interesting to check your step counter/watch/whatever in case it reset itself to zero at midday. My boss has a watch thingy that counts his steps and one day he was morally certain he'd done 'enough' only to find that only the steps from midday onward had been counted. Something to do with a 12 hour clock not a 24 hour one. The watch turned out not to be faulty, he'd just set it up on the wrong timing. Worth checking imo. And happy birfday!

Bucketing down here in Thornbury. And the wind has changed to the south. Obviously watering the garden this afternoon worked ...

It's just nuts.

Same as RustyRaven but with pistachio on top please.

45/50 Yayy!

Joni Mitchell took 40 plus years to find out the same thing. She'd been singing falsetto all her life up till then.

Ceramics class? Pottery certainly qualifies as earth bending.

Stove? If so, I agree. I've been very favourably impressed with my little induction one plate from Temple & Webster. So useful. Even has a porridge button which I thought very unusual when I got it but does just wonderful rice. The quick boil button is fair frightening how fast it is - at least as fast as a kettle.

I tend to use the windows key and full stop. Limited selection of emojis, but it works on everything. Never had an issue with colour changes either. But then, I don't do stuff on my phone much.

Friday quiz

7/10 could do better

Is that what they meant by 'stealin' watermelons outta my truck patch'?

a classic

Bought quiche heated in microwave present and correct.

4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there's one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.

50/50!!!!!!! yay me as some were guesses

Thanks! That'll set me up for the day.

Morning chef! Stack of pancakes with butter & maple syrup and coffee please.

70s was Stalactites. Never closed. Or the Italian Waiters Club.

English fiction? I am certainly willing to believe that the English are fictional.
