    Most of the Mars bars sold outside of the US are more or less what we call a Milky Way. The Mars bars sold in the US are now what is called Snickers Almond (with the addition of caramel).

    anyone really bored wanna help me find SDS safety data sheets?  these new SDS replaces MSDS .

    i'm up to Gorilla Wood Glue.  SDS looks similar to this  but they all a bit dfferent.

    these the next few on my list.

    Hercules Thread Sealant Hercules Chemical Co.
    Henry EasyRelease The W.W. Henry Company
    Hot Shot Flying Insect Killer Spectrum Group
    Hydrogen Peroxide/Cumberland Swan Cumberland Swan
    Instant Starting Fluid Radiator Specialty Co.
    IPC Water Detecting Paste Comstar Products 
    IronForce Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive Berry Plastics Corp
    JB Weld Epoxy Steel Hardner JB Weld
    Jet Go Belt Dressing Special Formula #J-365 Penray Company
    Kester 44 Rosin Core Leaded Solder Kester 
    Kester Rosin Paste Flux Formula SP-44 Kester 

    I rivet my gorillas... More shear strength for lateral forces... glue always snaps off and the gorillas are useless afterwards...  I find glue works better on orangutans though. 

    Are you updating for work? I don't envy you... The few SDS that I need were annoying enough to track down. At least back a while ago the MSDS used to come in the box with your order.  I particularly like the websites that allow you to type in your exact product number or name and then it takes you to a page with all 19,000 products/formulas they make... And in no particular order...  Kinda feels like "Psych! We were just kidding... You gotta find me yourself !!"... 

    Don't you dig those sites that make you feel like it's still 1952?

    Complaint:

    Some time ago I mentioned how much I hate certain menu boards in fast food restaurants... The ones that kinda have no order to them... It's like the words and images are just splashed on the board and you have to stare at it a minute or two to figure out what relates to what and why... Plus they have to use Arial Super Ultra Fine Narrow font... White on a red or grey background... It's fast food... I don't want to take five minutes to figure out the graphics and then memorize their coordinates to try and place an order... God forbid you find something that seems interesting and look at the cashier... Try finding it again... You sound like an idiot... "I'll have the bacon MkSuper... Artisan... No... Chicken bacon grilled... Oh _ _ _k this... Is there some sandwich with bacon and chicken and it's maybe grilled... Give me one of those... Do yo have fries? I see lots of pictures of fries but no literature on it... If you have them in a large, I'll take that too... And no I don't want a number 7, because I have no idea what that is..."

    So now lately the amendment to that is to do away with the menu boards and replace them with 52 inch monitors... Makes sense, you can update them easier... Some places even went as far as to make them more readable... 

    Till now...

    Here is the new logic... Five to seven screens... Each cycling through a random... RANDOM... Series of images and menu items.... You have maybe fifteen to twenty seconds to decide what you want on the screen you are looking at before it changes to the dessert menu or a picture of a mango cappuccino smoothie on an iceberg... Each one is changing at a different rate, some are flashing some ad or new product...  it's like a visual calliope of stupidity... I had just driven 200 miles the other day and you want to talk about visual overload... I just wanted a friggin sandwich and some ice tea... I didn't want to have my eyeballs assaulted...   I don't know who comes up with these ideas, but they are who tar and feathers were invented for... And beatings... Good sound, old fashioned stick and branch beatings.

    Well, later...

    hmmm trying to figure out the proportion of width to length 

    or ... (lightbulb) could print it and use a ruler.

    Class and type:
    Displacement: 103,900 long tons (116,400 short tons)[1]
    Length:
    • Overall: 1,092 feet (332.8 m)
    • Waterline: 1,040 feet (317.0 m)
    Beam:
    • Overall: 252 ft (76.8 m)
    • Waterline: 134 ft (40.8 m)
    Draft:
    • Maximum navigational: 37 feet (11.3 m)
    • Limit: 41 feet (12.5 m)

     

    1,092 ft x 252 ft is the length and width at the flight deck. The waterline dimensions account for the tapered hull. The 75 is the ship's number, CV75 USS Theodore Roosevelt.

    That's the USS Harry S. Truman... CVN-75... Her overall length is 1,092 ft. and her width at her widest point (aka "beam") is 252 feet... I don't know if that was the info you were looking for...

    That's weird... I was reading the older posts and came across Misty's post and decided to answer it... Later than Etrigan, but it's weird we both were looking at that same post at more or less the same time... Maybe not that weird... 

    EDITED TO ADD... It's not weird at all... I thought that was several pages back... Its the heat and humidity probably.

    Those look like obsolete (aka DS 2.x) files. They are still in your database, but, may not have a real product. The StudioCF file is a legacy (DS 3.0) file that isn't needed if you have the DS version. I just hide those.

    hmm, I stand corrected. I typed CV 75 and got my answers... at least the dimensions were right. :)

    Fast food restaurant menus have been a pet peeve of mine for years.  And, yes, now with the video monitors changing as you watch, it's freakin' idiotic.  Perhaps it's my old eyes and slowing brain but something is wrong with this picture.  What's next?  Now that cars are driving themselves are we going to be watching video billboards along the road?  Big 30 foot screens showing us scenes of trees and hills in front of the real trees and hills?

    Visual burnout, that's what it is. Visual burn out.  We're all going to have to be using crystal meth just to keep our brains running fast enough to deal with the visual overload.  But we all know where that ends.  frown
