Re: Last Man Posting
There are some things I do not want to know.
If it moves but shouldn't: Duct tape. If it doesn't move but should: WD-40. With a hammer everything fits, and if it still doesn't fit: bigger hammer. If it can't be fixed with a hammer it's an electrical problem.

Knowledge is power.
But not asking questions you do not want to know the answer to is a good rule of thumb.

There are three things that motivate people: Money, fear and love.

Re: Last Man Posting
This is true, but in most of said situations, the person asking would not know if they "want to know" or not.
That is a luxury only afforded, however, to the person being asked, and only in the situation where they know the meaning of the question, surface and subtext, the psychology of the person asking with regards to said question, the effect caused both on a personal and relationship level and on an environmental one, as well as the effects of not only a truthful answer, but also a lie, intentional or otherwise, and of course the indecisive course of action, and the relative repercussions of each.
Only when ALL of these conditions are met can the person asking have all of the proper and truthful information necessary to decide for themself whether or not they "want to know".
Then there's the whole argument of "better to know and regret, then to incite false hope" and all that.

If you don't know how to do something you can avoid doing that thing, because you know that someone else has to do it.

As a mechanic, I have a more practical solution: Dirty hands. Need interior work done? Too dirty. Long test drive for a random noise? Sorry. Cloth tan interior? My ABSOLUTE worst nightmare, and the whole shop knows it.

Grumpily succumbing to the moral imperative of tentacle-delivered pleasure like a good utilitarian

Won't work. Water just beads right off, I kid you not. I brought Boraxo for this reason, and even built myself my own sink because the shop sink is motion triggered and it doesn't see my hands.JonahAndTheWolf wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:53 pmWhat if someone hands you a wet wipe and asks you to do the thing anyways?Bellhead wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 11:08 amGood idea in theory, ineffective in practice.

Add in that I can walk in with baby-level clean hands, and they're oiled black by the time I walk across the floor without touching anything. I can leave a fingerprint through clean new gloves after washing my hands twice.
My dirt is LEGENDARY.
Besides. Wet wipes are for germs.

These wipes are the real 'shampoo for men (also body wash, dishes and car)' joke.
