Now you're all just talking CRAZY!!
Oh, just now, I thought we just got started???!!???
Now you're all just talking CRAZY!!
My chainsaw neither leaked, stalled nor snapped it's chain. It's job was to make firewood of three trees. It did this job flawlessly. It was perfect.
I didn't mean it like that, my apologies! And not sure why you are talking in prose.... even if I were a boy, you are not of age to be my father! All my love....
OkAY. Thats true. Not writing now in prose to you. Just want to say hello cause I think you are a pretty good person.
Okay, I have a question and I really do want to have the answer. Maybe someone here knows the answer, if not, just please ignore this topic. Back to my drunken ramblings, scary part, I'm pretty sober.
So you build a perfect machine, it's perfect in every way. Everything is going along fine, then one day it springs a leak. Is it still a perfect machine? Was it a perfect machine in the first place? Do perfect machines spring leaks?
Maybe if you built it to be self-healing? Or it's a perfect machine that just requires a little upkeep?
Would you keep insisting that the machine was perfect if one day it springs a leak(starts leaking)? Would you try to fix it, or just stand back and watch it leak? Because, after all, it was the perfect machine. It must be able to fix itself?
How is something perfect if you have to go back and fix it? The thing I really want the answer to: Do perfect machines spring leaks? Or was it your own mistake to call it perfect in the first place?
What is this mystery machine? Inquiring minds want to know.
If entropy worked at a constant, predictable, mathematic rate... would it indeed be perfect?
The "perfect machine" would not require maintainence, fuel, or outside control. It would be self sustaining. Not even stars are pefect, nor are they self sustaining forever, even they eventually die. Entropy is the only constant in the universe.

zeg said:So the other alternative is to design your machine so it will avoid such situations. That's clearly silly, because now your chainsaw is also an intergalactic spacecraft.

It's a homemade wood splitter. I'm 99% sure but I'm not perfect...
Thought you were supposed to chuck wood, not split it.

Well, hubby seemed a bit upset when he heard it was broken. I bet it split, chucked and piled the wood. That would be a "perfect" machine and a bit complex thereby requiring an engineer to be called in to fix it. I'm just trying to piece together the clues here...
Not much use for firewood in FL though...
Nope, Ischavio. I'm sure you're on to something. She mentions building a fire somewhere in a different thread, I think.
Automatic soup stirrer? Full auto pepper mill? Pot rotation device?
None of those! I just realized I was actually talking about when God created Adam and Eve, and made them "perfect".....
Riiiight, and we 'know' that happened.
My parents also taught me about Santa Claus....
oh boy... Do you still believe in him?? Ever see "Badder Santa"??
Pot rotation device?
To the left hand side or to the right?
Vertical...
That could hinder rotation causing the machine to stall out therby creating a bogart event.
I thought I had told you what the machine was, Dan, but realize now that I never did. It does get cold here in North Florida in the winter, the wood burning stove at the house is going now, got a pot of soup on it. So that could be a good guess.
Hubby has built machines to do all kinds of things, all to make our lives self-sustainable. But only a few that he considers "perfect". This particular machine does not have a name, not exactly sure what you would call it. It would only raise more questions trying to explain and not sure if he wants people to know about his machines. He thinks the world may go all to hell in a hand basket later this week, if people knew we had the machines, they might come try to steal them...
This machine made me think about what really would be a "perfect machine".
When the $hit hits the fan, I know where I'm headed now
Just bring your blowguns (and ammo), and whole grain, over here...
Oh yeah! I forgot we figured this all out already...
You get the cow-catcher fitted to your vehicle yet??
