You'd hope that because they don't bother to repaint their buildings from time to time, all the effort is directed towards more important detail.s

Erm...there's a short in the harness. In the yellow wire.

Anyone who's ever done any data cabling will will be familiar with that sight. Just substitute grey for yellow...

...But in truth, it wasn't very long ago that American industrial facilities could look much like this one.

You must have a hole in your glove -- that one went straight through you. I'll try to one-hop them to you from now on.

Is this a baseball or golf reference?

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. That herky-jerky of yours caught me off-guard and stone-fingered..
Though I might study up on this Glossary of Baseball a bit more first.

I don't know how you folks down under do it, but in conventional golf there is no fielding.

Listen mate, there's a whole lot more to the world than just the USA. In real golf fielding is the most exciting part of the game, mainly because the fielders aren't permitted to use their hands. Fielders need to be both brave and inventive. A hole in one is a completely different thing in "World" golf.

You're doing it wrong. You can see how this happens on an isolated island with infrequent contact with civilization.

For those interested in the technicalities of testing.

Charles Taylor,
If you've ever worked in the aircraft industry you would understand the real purpose of structural testing (like the examples shown). In the aircraft world, structural designs are qualified primarily by analysis (or "simulation" as you describe it). The purpose of conducting structural tests is simply to validate the analytical model. If the structural test reveals any discrepancies with the analytical results, then the analysis is reworked such that the analysis and test data agree.
As for the huge number of strain gauge wires and bundles, an aircraft structural test can be extremely costly and time consuming. More so if the structure is tested to failure. Repeating such a test is usually out of the question. Since there is usually a fairly high failure rate with strain gauges during a test, huge numbers of strain gauges are normally used to ensure a relevant sample of data points is acquired.
Regards,

LOL, Oh no, we do play baseball...or at least I beileve some people do, it is one of the fringe sports - sort of an american version of the great British past time of bog snorkling and cheese rolling...perhaps they should call them the World Series of Bog Snorkling to get more cache'?
BTW I too can see Canada - google maps is great.

Indeed. I still remember the first time I picked up a swatter and stepped onto the emerald sward.

Not a lot of emerald sward visible here, only a fine pair of purple knockers. It pleases me no end that there are still simple pleasures that the peasants can enjoy and that keeps them off the byways whilst intoxicated.

Looks vaguely like fennel. There's a circum and chervil, roughly speaking, but no non-rabbits.

Here's just one reason baseball is better than farnarkling: In baseball, if the batter complains too much, the opposing pitcher can drill him in the ribs with a 95mph fastball.
In farnarkling, do the rules allow one participant to sucker punch another up-side the head without a verbal warning? And what would be the penalty for such an offense? Would it necessitate full pugilistic reciprocity, or just a purchase of a round of drinks by the offending party?
As a side note, my beloved California Angels major league baseball team has an Aussie pitcher by the name of Rich Thompson. He must be somewhat civilized, because I've never seen him bean a batter on purpose.

That's right, they have all been accidents. Really.
