  1. It is hard to resist political debates. Especially with ill-informed coworkers. Mouth breathing idiots!

    So, IMHO, the one candidate wants to give my job away, increase my tax liability, and make education more expensive. It's not even a choice for me at that point on where my vote goes.

    I voted a couple weeks ago (another perk of the job :rolleyes:). Course, my voting district is completely mail in now. Do it. Do it now.

  2. mec.ca has some cheapos ready made.

     

    I'm coming out of a phase of trying to go as cheap as I can... what I found was that spending $75 instead of $200 very frequently results in spending $275.

    :tup:

     

    Not to mention the hassles when your cheap gear fails you miles from nowhere...

    Whatever. mec makes stuff that lasts. Simple but effective. But you can spend your money how you see fit.

  3. 2¢: spend less money. The one pocket homemade wonder of 25 years keeps going strong whereas the trick arc'tryx disco fever shredded first trip. Just sayin. mec.ca has some cheapos ready made. Course, my go to bike messenger bag is three grocery sacks strung together.

  4.  

    Why not?

    If a 7kN force rips a piece rated to 6kN, wouldn't that piece have absorbed 6kN regardless of rope stretch, or any other dynamic elements?

    This is the heart of my question.

    Son, you're lacking perspective. You asked a question regarding work, then limit your vocabulary to force. The answer to your question is probably no (the scenario you describe is too incomplete to say no definitively). The explanation can be found in previous posts.
