            The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It’s a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion

    Coloradan here. This tweet was a joke response from the sheriff’s department to a previous incident where they described a large boulder the size of a large boulder blocking the road.

      Update: I was wrong. The officer meant to say “the size of a small car”. The “larger boulder the size of a large boulder” tweet came later as a joke reference to this one.

        Flows a bit better if you just use little psychic instead of little person psychic. Or maybe short psychic so it’s not as obvious.
