The British military is a joke. They are completely dependent on others to protect them. Women.

You are comparing apples and coconuts.

Above, you have compared Coca-Cola's brand value, with 3M's market capitalisation.

They are totally different animals.

Over my head, I'm afraid. I was at the back of the class when it came to Maths and arithmetic. :D

DooDoo, are you happy with Jack's explanation or do we need to run through it again?

I know what you mean - I struggled mightily with algebra, trigonometry and calculus. :D

Despite that, I seemed to do OK with logic. :-k

Me too, a merit at college for Digital Techniques phase. No problem with AND Gates or NAND Gates.

I think I've been thrown out of Udon Social for fat shaming the members, I can't get in today.

Yes, it's really happened. :(

The same thing happened to me for different reasons at Udon Talk. That forum seems to be off limits these days.

More on Inventions

Cell phone
Martin Cooper, an electrical engineer working for Motorola, invented the first mobile cell phone in 1973. Ten years later, the DynaTAC 8000x was rolled out to consumers, and even at a price of $3,995 per unit, was a huge success. Cooper then founded his own cell phone company, CBSI, which he later sold to Cincinnati Bell for $23 million.

Band-Aid bandages
Earle Dickson, who worked as a cotton buyer for Johnson and Johnson, invented Band-Aids in 1920 for his accident-prone wife, Josephine, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Dickson brought his idea to his boss, and soon the sticky bandages were a bestseller and he was named a vice-president of the company. The Band-Aid brand was worth $30 million in 2018.


Bottle cap (crown cork)
In 1891, William Painter of Baltimore invented a better cap to seal bottles containing carbonated liquids: the crown cork, a metal lid lined with cork. He also developed a foot-powered device to press caps onto bottles quickly and effectively. Crown Cork and Seal still exists today (making metal cans for beverages) with annual revenue of over $11 billion in 2018.



The pocket electronic calculator
If you’ve ever taken a calculus exam, thank Jack Kilby and his research group at Texas Instruments, who invented the handheld calculator in 1967. The machine used an integrated chip, a then-new technology using transistors made from a single crystal. Texas Instruments has sold calculators to millions of students (and accountants), and the company is worth $108.4 billion today.

Was Great Molasses Flood caused by temperature complications or human error?

The Great Molasses Flood, also known as the Boston Molasses Disaster, was a disaster that occurred on January 15, 1919, in the North End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

A large storage tank filled with 2.3 million US gal (8,700 m3) of molasses, weighing approximately 13,000 short tons (12,000 t), burst, and the resultant wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 mph (56 km/h), killing 21 and injuring 150.[5] The event entered local folklore and residents claimed for decades afterwards that the area still smelled of molasses on hot summer days.

Myth: Bleach is best
Sorry to burst your cleaning bubble: Though most people associate the smell of bleach with clean, bleach doesn't really even clean at all. It disinfects, kills germs, and can whiten stains, but it doesn't clean dirt and grime from surfaces. So if you're looking to whiten your shirt or rinse away bacteria from that raw chicken in your sink, then bleach is your way to go. However, if you're trying to remove the grit from your bathtub, you'll need an actual cleaning product, preferably something with some texture, like baking soda.


Myth: Newspaper will give you streak-free glass
You've probably seen your grandparents use newspaper to clean mirrors and glass and wondered if what if this old-school strategy actually works. Well, yes, and no. Yes, because newspaper at one time was made of out papers and ink that did indeed leave mirrors and glasses streak-free. Sadly, newspaper today is made out of completely different materials that actually leave streaks on your mirrors. Trying using rubbing alcohol or a glass cleaner with a microfibre cloth.

not open to question .... it WAS a badly designed tank that was an accident waiting to happen (google The History guy on youtube who did a prog for the 100th anniv)

Potato chips
The invention of the potato chip is shrouded in mystery: An oft-repeated origin story about a chef in upstate New York has been debunked, and the identity of the true originator is lost to history. However, Herman Lay was the first to market chips nationwide in the USA, and made himself a fortune. They’re still a moneymaker: Frito-Lay generated sales of $1.82 billion for PepsiCo in 2018.

What was the first country to exceed one billion population

Do not drink daily

Fruit Juice
While you might believe fruit juice packs in a ton of vitamins and minerals, the high sugar content of this drink makes this beverage particularly tricky to navigate. Many bottles of juice we commonly find on shelves rely on a watered-down concentrate mixed with water to form the beverage, and contain as much sugar as a soda due to added sugar content and the naturally high amount of sugar found in fruit.

Doctors recommend that children severely limit their juice intake per day thanks to the incredibly high sugar content and eating an orange with a glass of water provides more nutrients than drinking a glass of orange juice with pulp. Next time you reach for some juice, take a moment and keep the sugar count of this drink in mind. Here are 10 Fruit Juices to Always Leave on Grocery Store Shelves

Ah, the highlight of my evening. Yes, I imagine there's lots of sugar in fruit juice. It could send the kids as bonkers as Alan when he ODs on Smarties.
