    Why can't you put metal in the microwave?
    I seem to recall, that in newer microwaves, it doesn't matter anymore.

      Correct, I was wondering if anyone actually knew much about this. I am again impressed with your greatness of knowledge.

      We use water as the comparitive point to all other ingredients when speaking of and determining theoretical yields in mix design compilation.

      The use the specific gravity determines what our absolute volume (Theoretical) will be in our mixes for all ingredients, based on tested and historical breaks for each compressive and flexural strength mix we design.

        ACK!
        Probably at least another 2-3 weeks.

        But as for the questions, they all are something I do on a normal basis, working with ready mix concrete mix designs.

        I was wondering if we had any engineer students in here or even project managers/specifiers.

            Same reason why Einstein got his Nobel. Hit metals with high enough frequency light, you knock around electrons, and create a serious current. That could be bad...

              Why do you insist on spelling "the" "teh"?

              How is it that you never accidentally spell "teh" right (wrong from your point of view) as "the"?

                      No. When you are tried you properly take less deep breaths or don't breathe as much. Thus you might yawn when you are tired OR simply if you have a blocked nose, etc etc. I think.

                            Middle English coppeweb : coppe, spider (short for attercoppe, from Old English âttercoppe : âtor, poison + copp, head) + web, web; see web.]


                            Pretty sure that the proposed physiologic purpose of yawning is to fully expand the lung/inflate the alveoli that are not aerated in quiet respiration -- particularly the shallow respirations taken when about to fall asleep. Also occurs immediately upon awakening to inflate the portions of the lung that are compressed/no aerated during sleep. Not sure why yawning is contagious though.

                              I was taught that in Eskimo cultures, if you yawn, the eskimos believe that you are hungry.

                                I'm usually hungry when I wake up, so that makes sense .
