Notice, I don't have any? IE: The problem is you and or others. HINT: That's not something to brag about. In this world: If you'll excuse me I'm gonna head over to the TIL thread.

It's rotating counterclockwise ... unless you're looking up at it from underneath. In the pic it shows a vacuum breaker attached (shot on right). That gets attached just like a hose. So... To attach: You turn your hand CLOCKwise OR, righty tighty. To detach: You turn your hand COUNTERclockwise OR, lefty loosy. They are right-handed threads!!! The faucet is near the sill plate of a structure, why they also call a hose bibb a "sillcock." What are you 6 inches tall? And even so, you're still turning same way. Unless your back is to wall... Which it shouldn't be, what I am saying holds true. Righty tighty, lefty loosy. You define this thread! The quintessential subject the OP oppines his sorry story for! LMAO!!!

That's a sillcock AND it looks like a "frost free" sillcock (the guts of valve may be 10" to 24" in pipe, IE: in heated structure) WITH a hose bibb (the threaded parted where you attach the hose). Right-handed threads of course. Righty-tighty, lefty loosy. LoL... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always irritated and confuse because when it times out it is always at the back of the microwave with the handle turned out, the most difficult way to retrieve it. What are the odds? Finally, I figured it out. I put the cup in the same way every day, and select the same time setting. Since it rotates at the same rpm, and I set the same time, it simply has to end up in the same place.

Keukasmallies Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bring Take Does anyone use the word "take" anymore? For damn sure no one appears to be able to use the word "bring" correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For damn sure no one appears to be able to use the word "bring" correctly. Hmm. I had to think about this one. I tend to use "bring" when I'm adding something to the situation, "I'm bringing potato salad to the cookout." I use "take" when I'm subtracting something from the situation, "I'm taking my leftover potato salad home from the cookout." "Bring to" vs. "take from." I wonder if there's an actual rule associated with that. Or maybe I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Holy Carp. Tighten / Loosen? It al depends on what you are working on. THE majority of things get tightened "clockwise" (or to the right) However on say, the propane tank nozzle to the BBQ grill, or the reel to your edge / weed trimmer have the opposite thread.

I wonder if there's an actual rule associated with that. Or maybe I'm wrong This IS a good one. In my head, I'm saying, "I need to bring my son to work," and "I need to take my son to work." Bring feels more natural, but take doesn't sound wrong, per se. Now I'm saying, "I'm going to bring my son to lunch," and "I'm going to take my son to lunch." In this example, bring seems to imply that I'm bringing him and leaving him there; take seems to imply that he and I are going together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it straight on, you're turning it to your left to tighten. if you lay on your back and look "into" the faucet hole, THEN it's turning right. What the hell's wrong with you, Gugny?

Who lays on their BACK to screw a hose on???? Nobody! My point is that if one is putting a hose on, one's hand won't turn clockwise unless one lies on one's back and looks up at the spigot whilst turning the hose. If you're looking directly at it (how normal people like you and I attach hoses to faucets), your hand will, indeed, be turning left ... not right.

DC Tom Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Gluon self-interaction. I mean...electron self-interaction, that's obvious: the photon is the gauge particle of the electromagnetic field, so electron self-interaction is the electron emitting a photon that it then reabsorbs. But the gauge particle that caries color in QCD is the gluon. So for a gluon to self-interact...is it emitting another gluon? If another gluon is involved, is it really self-interaction? Can a fermionic gauge particle truly self-interact? 16 hours ago, RochesterRob said: Catsup........ Ketchup...... That even confused Monte Burns. Because they're both derivatives of the Chinese logogram kai-tsep. "Ketchup" is more accurate phonetically, whereas "catsup" is a more accurate written transliteration.

DC Tom Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 "Clockwise/Counterclockwise" is nonsense, because they're axially variant terms. Right-hand rule: point the thumb of your right hand in the direction you want the screw to move. You turn the screw in the direction your fingers curl. In other words: you want to remove the hose, point your right thumb away from the faucet. The hose turns how your fingers curl in to your palm. The right-hand rule is axially invariant, and will work for any normal threading (e.g. not a lawn mower blade, which is reverse-threaded so engine torque doesn't loosen it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
