Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The lids are equilateral triangles and the frames have a +/- 1" lip. Since each side of an equilateral triangle is longer than a point to any part of the side, it would not fit through the hole.

 

if one edge of the lid is vertical, then its only sqrt(2)/2 to the 'other' vertex from the midpoint of the vertical side. thats 0.7 X the side. <plonk>(splash!)

 

I stand corrected... sort of. I get that the distance, 90° from the middle of one side to the point, is shorter than the side. I'm pretty sure they make the lip on the frame wide enough so the longest part of the triangular hole is shorter than that distance.

Edit: So distance "B" would be shorter than distance "A".



People suck and all the lids would be oriented at a distracting angle for drivers with OCD. Accidents are prevented with round lids

Google said the triangular holes are too small for a worker to fit through when wearing a breathing apparatus.

I shouldn't argue though, I'm just a landscaper and feel like this:

 

The lip would have to be like 15% of the length of a side for that to work... maybe a little less if the plate was real thick.

heh, sorry for nerding out here... I'm an old software engineer, and I did a lot of low level 2D and 3D graphics programming in the 80s, 90s... although I've not done that for 20 years, I still remember practical geometry and trig pretty good.

 

I have nerd in my username as well...

 

Omg nailed it! Hahahaha been there done that 3 times over and just started dadhood all over again.....im in the over 40 new dads club. Have a 9 month old son....cant wait for those solid food shit sacks

 

14th

 

I had 2 kids in my 40’s

 

That fucker is disturbing. But he can rap

 

I would have thought you'd lose flavor and texture by having it so cold. I might try the fridge, though. Ice is fine if you only use one cube. That's my recipe. Just dont let it sit long enough to melt.

 

No worries. You stopped being a nerd when you used like in your hypothesis.

 

No shit! I'm the 15th.

 

I barely made it through high school and spell at about a 4th grade level but I was a underground utilities foreman for 10 years and all I know is round and triangular lids were the only ones that work. I only made it through pre algebra so I don't know the maths but the smarty pants engineers made it so that me and my semi retarded coworkers couldn't fuck it up.

 

Sweet..i was a lil early, was supposed to be on the 17th.with a Irish mom you could guess what I would've been named..

 

Patrick or corned beef?

 

Funny thing, I'm Irish as could be, but I hate corned beef.cant do it taste and texture is just wrong.

 

Gotta head up to Jackson, gonna go check out swingle meats.

 

No way! I don't have a drop of Irish in me and corned beef in cabbage is my birthday dinner of choice.

 

I prefer ribeye and baked potatoes and if I'm drinking then a nice ice cold ipa.
