    What a nice wholesome interaction with the masked paramilitary kidnap force.

    Imagine, if this really happened, this guy didn’t know who they were and didn’t know anything about ice and was like “I really appreciate you guys who are you guys anyway?”

    “We’re ice”

    “Oh I don’t know who that is. What brings you to town?”

    “We’re here to kidnap men, women and children and put them in cages”

    “Uh…”

    “Yeah, you hear about that guy who got held down and shot in the back of the head execution style?”

    “I did hear something about that. We’re you there to help him…?”

    “Haha. No, we’re the ones that shot him. That’s why we wear these masks”

    “Oh I thought you had those because it’s cold”

    “Haha no no no no. It’s because we don’t want people to be able to identify us and hold us accountable for our crimes.”

    “Uh…I really gotta go”

    “Sure thing buddy. Hey, before you go. You don’t happen to know any brown people do you?”

    “Nope, sure don’t. Gotta go. Byeee!”

    I like some of the stories in the Bible but it’s still pretty hard to read. I don’t know why, I don’t have that problem with other, even older writings. There is nothing confusing about the Enuma Elish, for example. I think the Epic of Gilgamesh is freaking great.

    But when the Bible steals a story told in the Epic of Gilgamesh and makes it Noah’s flood, it loses all meaning. The original wasn’t all that exciting to begin with but there was a deep meaning to it being in the Epic. But in the Bible, what is the meaning? What’s the moral to the story? It just doesn’t work.

    I’ve been fooling around with Meshtastic for a couple years and haven’t come up with a real world use for it yet, other than scenarios like you mentioned.

    What would be really cool is if cell phone makers could incorporate a mesh into their phones as a local public channel when the tower goes out. It would probably just be used by drug dealers or something, but it’s the only cool and functional idea I can come up with.

    I knew the OP couldn’t be right because how do you add a dimple after the jug is full?

    But I’m not sure ambient air temperature during molding is the whole story either, although I expect that is a concern that is taken into consideration and the article below leaves it out.

    The article says "*The high-density polyethylene plastic jugs are made of shrinks slightly over time. It also shrinks more in hot temperatures than cold temperatures…

    Producers must make jugs slightly larger to offset inevitable shrinkage if they are exposed to summer heat in transport and/or go to long-term storage before being filled, but they want to keep the jugs smaller in cold months and if jugs go directly to be filled.*"

    It’s saying the dimple is to adjust the size of the jug depending on what shrinkage it’s likely to see before being filled. So you can presumably have small dimples in summer if they go directly to be filled, and large dimples in winter if they’re going to be transported and stored first.
